Tyco Deploys Exit Lane Control System for IAH

May 18, 2016

Tyco Integrated Security installed a video-enabled exit lane breach control system designed to help automate security at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).

The Houston exit lane breach control solution uses analytics technology and door control integration to alert airport officials when an object or passenger tries to enter restricted areas. In such a scenario, an alarm will sound and a warning light will flash, and the event will be captured and recorded by the system's security cameras.

The traditional practice of manually monitoring airport exit lanes has historically been staffed with multiple guards from either the Transportation Security Administration or the local airport. Through the adoption of sensor-based technology solutions like exit lane breach control and containment, officials at the airport may be able to redeploy security personnel or eliminate guard staffing altogether.

"We're thrilled to assist George Bush Intercontinental Airport with this cutting-edge Exit Lane Breach Control and Containment System," said John Gaydos, vice president of Tyco Federal Systems, Tyco Integrated Security. "Airport security is of utmost concern to airport personnel and passengers alike, and we're pleased to be able to deliver this safer, smarter Tyco solution."
