August 27, 2003—Lenel Systems International, Enterprise Air, and Symbol Technologies have joined to donate an advanced mobile security solution for the 2003 Little League Baseball World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Their collaborative effort will help safeguard the annual event by enabling security personnel to use wireless computing technologies to control access to restricted areas.
Lenel will supply its award-winning OnGuard system to produce photo identification badges for the more than three thousand attendees. The OnGuard system will also utilize digital video recorders and access control capabilities running on a wireless network at the various security checkpoints throughout the World Series grounds. The seamless integration of these technologies will provide security personnel with the information necessary to monitor and respond to any security event.
A database of registrants will be downloaded into the system to verify the identity of participants. Storing cardholder data in one central location will be critically important to respond to medical and other emergencies that require the rapid retrieval of such information.
Equipped with Enterprise Air’s badge verification application operating on Symbol PDT 8100 handheld computers, security personnel will be able to check the badges of event participants.
