Digital Barriers and G4S announce technology partnership to
enhance public safety
Digital Barriers plc (AIM: DGB, the "Group"), the specialist
provider of visually intelligent solutions to the global
surveillance, security and safety markets, is pleased to announce a
strategic partnership with G4S, the world's leading global,
integrated security company specialising in the delivery of
security and related services.
The partnership will see G4S offer the unique ThruVis capability
from Digital Barriers to provide a level of security for crowded
public spaces including transportation hubs and sporting, leisure
and other special events that has not been available until now.
ThruVis is a special camera that can detect threats concealed under
clothing, such as weapons or explosives, without disrupting the
throughput of people across transportation networks and into large
event centres, stadiums or other crowded public spaces. ThruVis is
mobile, discreet and rapidly deployed. It has been used effectively
by government agencies around the world and is now being made
available across the broader public safety market for the first
time.
G4S recognises the need to provide greater protection of crowded
public spaces in light of recent terrorist atrocities, but that by
doing this it risks degrading the passenger or visitor experience
due to lengthy queues on entry. ThruVis is an ideal solution to
this challenge.
Zak Doffman, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Barriers
commented:
"Our partnership with G4S will help to secure public spaces and
event venues globally, providing an additional layer of security
that is not in place today. ThruVis has already been used around
the world by government agencies to protect the public from acts of
terrorism, now we hope to extend this to help protect the public
from attacks on so-called soft target locations."
Eric Alexander, Managing Director, G4S Events commented:
"G4S is embracing cutting edge-technology and working with
industry partners such as Digital Barriers to provide solutions
that protect the public from sophisticated and covert threats. G4S
is supporting this technology as a unique way to secure event
venues, significantly enhancing traditional security measures such
as metal detectors and baggage checks.
"ThruVis provides a higher level of protection and deterrence
whilst reducing queue times, improving the visitor experience, and
because it's a passive camera it does so without any issues of
safety or privacy. Given recent events we see this as an inevitable
additional security measure that will rapidly become
commonplace."
