Qognify has recently expanded its security solution at Gardermoen<br />
Oslo Airport with Situator, the company’s situation management<br />
solution. Avinor, the group responsible for managing Norway’s<br />
airports, decided to not only expand and upgrade Oslo Airport, but<br />
unify its different systems to create a unified security platform.<br />
A Qognify video management solution user since 2008, the<br />
Airport, with the support of Racom, Qognify’s partner, the airport<br />
added Situator Situation Management solution. The platform<br />
integrates all existing systems – Qognify and third-party, including<br />
thousands of surveillance cameras, access control and other<br />
sensors. Situator structures and correlates the information from<br />
these different systems for greater situational awareness, incident<br />
management and effective response.<br />
Being a major European airport, Oslo serves many Schengen<br />
flights, meaning flights to the 26 European countries that have<br />
officially abolished passport and all other types of border control at<br />
their borders. Allowing the area to function as a single country for<br />
international travel purposes dictates special operational<br />
requirements using the Flexigate system. The Flexigate system<br />
avoids incidents where the wrong doors are opened to ensure that<br />
passengers who should go through the border control actually do<br />
so. Situator integrates with the access control system, and<br />
overrides switching of gates between Schengen and non-Schengen<br />
flights, as well as the domestic flights if the control systems are out<br />
of operations.<br />
Avinor Oslo Airport: “Situator allows us to leverage our existing<br />
technology, and extend the capabilities of those systems for<br />
increased value. Our long-term partnership with Racom and Qognify<br />
has given us the ability to smartly and cost-effectively upgrade our<br />
security without having to rip and replace previous, viable<br />
investments".<br />
"Adding Qognify Situator to the security and operations program<br />
at Oslo Airport has enabled us to confidently build true best-ofbreed<br />
solution,” said Frode Igland, CEO, Racom AS. “The new<br />
capabilities provide a common operating picture for all<br />
stakeholders, improving security and operations”.<br />
“Oslo Airport’s security program is one of the most advanced<br />
ones among the many airports we are involved in,” commented Moti<br />
Shabtai, Qognify’s CEO and President “Our partnership with Avinor<br />
and Racom is a testament to how deep, long-term collaboration can<br />
produce exceptional return on investment for the airport.”<br />
