Safe and secure
Johnson Controls to provide security systems for 2014 Soccer World Cup in Brazil
The World Cup is coming to Brazil in 2014, a major event expected to draw thousands of soccer fans from across the world. With the help of Johnson Controls, these fans can expect to enjoy the matches in a safe and secure environment.Johnson Controls will design and install advanced, integrated security systems for 12 major soccer stadiums throughout Brazil. The $29 million project includes mass access control systems designed to quickly pass large numbers of people; video surveillance, ticket systems and a communications network for the stadiums.
Johnson Controls won the contract by showing superior understanding of the technology required to complete the complex project.
“Johnson Controls scored the highest of all competitors in the systems technology category during the bidding process, provided a competitive price and could point to experience in helping secure major arenas, airports and other mission critical facilities throughout Latin America and around the world,” said Mario Filho, director of the Brazil systems business unit for Johnson Controls Building Efficiency.
Safe and secure
The innovative access control system, designed with South African partner DEX Security Solutions, will link the Web site where soccer fans purchase tickets and register to attend games with local law enforcement databases. The names of purchasers will be checked against those of known troublemakers and registered criminals who may be denied entry. Each stadium will have entry turnstiles and readers (barcode, proximity and biometric) to confirm the identities of those seeking access.
Johnson Controls also will oversee the installation of nearly 1,700 surveillance cameras, video servers for recording and video analytics to help spot potential problems inside and outside the stadiums. Officials at each stadium will monitor the video from separate security stations designed and built by Johnson Controls.
The systems are expected to be installed in all 12 stadiums, ranging in capacity from 20,000 to 60,000 spectators, in about one year.
