August 25, 2003—Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, in Sarasota, Florida, has selected Johnson Controls, Inc., to provide integrated security system upgrades to accommodate current and anticipated industry guidelines set by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
The $2.8 million contract includes the installation and integration of a new access control system for 1,500 airport workers with a closed-circuit television system using digital video recording. The equipment will be integrated for single-seat operation through the Cardkey P2000R Redundancy System. This platform offers enhanced reliability through failure detection and back-up capabilities.
The new access control system to be installed features proximity card reader technology. However, the system can be configured as needed to accommodate biometrics technologies. According to Johnson Controls, with the new P2000, users can upgrade to the latest in security management systems and still protect their original security investment.
