MDI, Inc., the leading manufacturer of Unified Technology™ solutions for the security industry today announced that an initial order for the ONE™ Unified Technology™ platform, together with the VIEWpoint™ Surveillance Management™ solution has been placed by a new MDI integration partner, specializing in government applications and based in South Carolina. This order will be installed as part of a physical and electronic security upgrade initiative for a major United States sponsored naval base supporting operating forces in the European theatre.
Covering over nine square miles and housing more than 3,000 U.S. military personnel, this strategic military station is one of the most modern and technically advanced maritime defence installations in the world. This location's responsibilities include providing invaluable support to additional European military bases, fleets, U.S. Air Force Commands, squadrons, NATO and NASA sponsored missions transiting into or through the area.
The military base will install the MDI products to enhance its current security posture with a more robust and scalable command and control platform than they are currently operating. MDI's award-winning ONE Unified Technology platform will unify access control, intrusion detection and video surveillance management from the VIEWpoint product line into one centralized dashboard environment. The unification delivered by ONE will empower base security personnel to receive the actionable intelligence necessary to make decisions in real-time, based on the exact levels of security needed at specific geographic operating locations and perimeters across the base.
The unique customization and configuration features of the ONE platform allow security personnel to manage by exception across multiple layers of protection. As an anomaly or incident takes place, the automated platform commands a series of pre-configured security events to occur, allowing security managers to command and control building, access and video surveillance functions aimed at containing or minimizing the threat. These automated functions tie in to all products that are unified within the platform, allowing for timely human decision-making and response to take place based on the level of threat to people, facilities and assets.
Together, the ONE Unified Technology platform and the VIEWpoint Surveillance Management solution have received three security industry product awards this year, including the industry's most prestigious and recognized product award from Frost & Sullivan.
