NICE announced that ASTRID, the operator of Belgium’s national radio communications, paging, and dispatching network, has selected NICE to modernize their voice recording and incident reconstruction solutions for 14 police, fire, and EMS Public Safety Answering Points. reliable data capture As a provider of a single system of record for emergency incidents, NICE empowers public safety and criminal justice agencies to find the truth that’s hidden in data faster and improve services through reliable data capture, fast, accurate incident reconstruction, automated quality assurance, and data-driven intelligence dashboards. Jan Zeinstra, Product Owner recording project, ASTRID, said, “The ASTRID network is a lifeline for emergency services in Belgium through its ability to deliver reliable, seamless communications." first responder radio communications It’s equally important to be able to reliably capture, find and reproduce these incidents, to understand" "But it’s equally important to be able to reliably capture, find and reproduce these incidents, to understand what happened, how it happened, and what performed and what didn’t." "Considering the 8,000 emergency citizen calls for service and 2 million plus first responder radio communications handled each day, we felt it was important to choose a company with a reliable track record. NICE has proven success with some of the largest emergency services agencies in the world.”  all inbound emergency citizen calls Currently, over 70,000 emergency services workers, ranging from local and federal police to fire and medical rescue services, rely on the ASTRID network daily.  Most of these interactions will be centrally captured and managed by NICE. Additionally, NICE will be used to capture all inbound emergency citizen calls into Belgium’s 14 provincial centers, as well as outbound dispatch interactions. The 14 centers handle emergency calls across a 12,000-square-mile area inhabited by 11.5 million citizens. When full reviews of incidents are necessary, the NICE solution will automatically pull back incident data into a timeline view, so managers can replay incidents and understand exactly what happened. improving emergency services Our solutions which empower first responders and criminal justice departments to deliver better outcomes" Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE, said, “We are honored that ASTRID has selected NICE for this nationwide project to help Belgium improve its emergency services to citizens during their most difficult times."

Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans has got NICE situator in its New Security Center The primary commercial airport for the New Orleans metropolitan area and southeast Louisiana, Armstrong International Airport served 7.8 million passengers in 2009. NICE Systems, the worldwide leader of intent-based solutions that extract insight to impact business performance, reduce financial risk and ensure safety and security, announced that the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport has implemented NICE's open platform situation management solution, NICE Situator, in its new Security Operations Center. The Center serves as the coordination hub for all Airport security operations and emergency response activities. The deployment of NICE Situator is part of a larger FAA-sponsored security upgrade project undertaken by the Armstrong International Airport to meet stringent Transportation Security Administration (TSA) 1542 airport security regulations. Armstrong International Airport is the first North American airport to deploy NICE Situator. NICE partner Johnson Controls is the system integrator on the project. Armstrong international airport has got world class security and safety measures The primary commercial airport for the New Orleans metropolitan area and southeast Louisiana, Armstrong International Airport served 7.8 million passengers in 2009. Through NICE Situator's open architecture, the Airport is able to integrate a number of third party systems, including a computer aided dispatch system, various video solutions, a fire alarm system, an access control solution, and other security and medical/health emergency systems. NICE Situator ties all of these diverse security and safety systems together, in order to correlate data and alert dispatchers in real time to incidents that require attention. For example, a specific alert that comes from the access control system at a jet bridge, the protected passenger walkway used to board the airplane, will automatically trigger an alert from NICE Situator, providing the complete operational picture in real-time, including the relevant video feed, status of sensors, and maps showing the location coordinates of the incident. NICE Situator's framework for automating complex response workflows also ensures that dispatchers follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) when handling any threat or emergency. NICE Situator is helping the Armstrong International Airport comply with TSA 1542's directives, specifically with respect to preventing and detecting unauthorized entry to secured areas, evaluating threats in accordance with the Airport's security program, and if emergencies do occur, taking appropriate actions as specified in the Airport's emergency plan. "At Armstrong International Airport we are proud to employ world-class security and safety technologies from many different companies, and NICE Situator is the centerpiece of that," said John M Lyon, Telecommunications Manager for Armstrong International Airport. "With NICE Situator, our dispatchers are able to immediately get a single view of a situation across our many different security and safety systems, with real-time analysis and alerts, and embedded response plans to guide their actions." NICE Security solutions empower organizations to act effectively in real time to prevent, manage and investigate incidents "Normally it could take a year to customize a solution of this magnitude, but with NICE Situator, we were able to accelerate the deployment and complete the initial implementation in a matter of weeks," added Lyon. "We are looking forward to working with NICE on future enhancements and expansions." "This deployment for the Armstrong International Airport follows successful deployments at European airports," said Chris Wooten, President, NICE Security Americas. "Armstrong International Airport now joins the ranks of other NICE customers worldwide - from top ports to critical infrastructure facilities - that are benefitting from NICE Situator's open platform design and advanced situation management capabilities."
