Reliance Security Solutions, a subsidiary of Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) and Siemens have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop homeland security solutions for safe, secure and smart cities and highways in India.
Siemens said that with the traditional security platforms being inadequate to address these new challenges, there is an emerging need to move over to intelligent electronic security solutions.
With contiguous, pan-India broadband wireless access spectrum, Reliance plans to offer fourth generation (4G) wireless networking services for safety, security and other advanced applications.
Reliance and Siemens will combine to leverage the 4G network for the low latency and assured Quality of Service (QoS) required for video and security applications.
Reliance has designed and operates the world’s largest integrated security automation system consisting of over 12,000 cameras apart from thousands of other advanced security sensors, radars and video analytics, among others. It has implemented advanced command and control centres for security of its own critical infrastructure for over a decade. Siemens Building Technologies, a division of Siemens' Ltd, India has the world’s most advanced security solution – Siveillance, which comprises all elements of its security solutions portfolio. The solutions have been developed at the Siemens R&D facility at Chennai.
Siveillance solutions provide a reliable and efficient security platform to specifically meet the expanding security and surveillance requirements of wide area protection for critical infrastructure, public areas, cities, highways, iconic buildings and installations of vital economic interest.
