Security

Security for the big games tends to involve long-range planning by a wide array of agencies working together to provide the safest possible environment for players, coaches, fans, and others. With tens of thousands of fans gathering together in the same place, sports avenues have always treated a security risk.

Experience in this field continues to Indian Premier League, Soccer World Cup, Cricket world cup, Hollywood events and awards ceremonies, Fashion shows, Music tours to name but a few. Recent events of the past such as the attacks on the Sri-Lankan cricket team in Pakistan, Random bombings and threats on high profile events have led to the increased focus on a security plan to be implemented.

Qylur Security’s Qylatron Entry Experience Solution, an advanced version of the kind of scanners typically found at airport border controls.

The device looks like a honeycomb collection of five scanning pods, into which each attendee at an event will place their bags, and which can detect dangerous objects and explosives in a matter of seconds. The device dramatically speeds up the process when compared with a manual search, which requires every individual entering the stadium to have their belongings examined by a security operative.

Autonomous drones

With applications across the utilities, construction and transportation industries, Perceptron's autonomous drones are utilised to secure, maintain and inspect large-scale sites. Designed to work in extreme weather conditions, the drones allow aerial monitoring of border fences, routine data collection and access to hard-to-reach and dangerous locations.

Drones are classified based on weight, size, payload/range.

Secure communications

LISNR is an advanced, near-ultrasonic, ultra-low power data transmission technology that enables fast, reliable and secure communication between devices via any speaker or microphone. Working as a secure local proxy for data transmission, the technology eliminates the need for complicated, costly and power-consuming RF (radio frequency).

Smart flooring

Smart flooring allows venue operators to produce electricity, understand consumer behaviour and reward loyalty. One solution designed by Pavegen is arranged with electromagnetic generators that generate up to four joules of electrical power per step - energy that can be used to power on-demand lighting, as well as interactive messages, advertisements and signage. To date, Pavegen has been used in over 150 projects across various sectors, including railroad stations, shopping centers, airports and public spaces.

Cashless payments

Cashless payment facilities are becoming standard as more operators roll out ‘card-only’ passages and self-service checkouts. Research suggests that non-cash payment methods help reduce service times, increase normal client spend per visit, and reduce the risk of fraud or theft. Technology is now moving further.
