Milestone Systems: Varna and Burgas Airports Improve Security and Operational Excellence with Milestone IP Video Management Plat
Milestone Systems open platform IP video management software is being used by Fraport AG to improve both security and operational excellence at Varna and Burgas Airports in Bulgaria.RAD Group has installed Milestone XProtectaEURAc Enterprise software, operating several hundred Axis network cameras in both airports, with IBMservers and Cisco network infrastructure.
At the end of 2006 the German-Bulgarian consortium of the airport operator Fraport AG and the Bulgarian logistics company BM Star won a bid for the operation of both Varna and Burgas Airports – gateways to the popular Bulgarian Black Sea tourist region that includes Sunny Beach. Called the ‘Summer Capital’ of Bulgaria, Varna and Burgas Airports are at the heart of the area, which includes developed business communities, close to both resorts and transport facilities. Over a 35-year concession period, Fraport Twin Star Airport Management will be operating and investing in the development of both coastal airports.
Prior to 2008, Varna and Burgas Airports had individual systems for different tasks, and analog surveillance cameras.The analog technology had limitations in quality like the inability to monitor remotely between the two airports, to expand the systems, or to integrate with other security solutions.Management could see that IP technology was the way of the future and they did not want to be single-vendor dependent, in order to get best price performance.
