Public security: An urban challenge
Maintaining public safety and security is one of the major challenges facing urban municipalities today. Cities need effective public safety solutions to ensure the security of residents and tourists, preserve public order and prevent incidents such as theft, vandalism, drug trafficking and transportation disruptions. However, cities often lack
synchronization and cooperation between the various emergency entities operating within the city, as well as a unified command and control system that manages day-to-day and emergency situations.
Effective urban security solutions must be capable of detecting an event, identifying and classifying it, alerting all related systems and responding accordingly – all in real time.
