Magal to upgrade communications infrastructure for Ramat Ha’sharon

Magal Security Systems has been selected to expand the integrated safe city solution and upgrade communications infrastructure to support the use of additional applications for the municipality of Ramat Ha’sharon in Israel.

The company provided integrated solution for a safe city project in Ramat Ha’sharon including a round-the-clock manned primary control centre, a backup control room, cameras, free public wireless access points, public address systems and panic buttons for kindergartens and public areas in 2013.

Ramat Ha’sharon municipality CEO Perach Melec said that the Ramat Ha’sharon municipality assigned the Zachi Shalom municipal’s computer system CTO as head of the project.

"This is due to our paradigm that the technological infrastructure for the safe-city should serve as a driver for developing additional services for our citizens," Melec added.

"The concept that we have developed, guided by the Mayor, Yitzhak Rochberger, sees a solid communications infrastructure as a cornerstone for added-value services in both routine and crisis situations," Melec continued.

In addition to extending the municipality’s fibre optic network to cover 80% of the municipality, Magal will expand the safe-city applications for routine and emergency thus enhancing the quality of life in Ramat Ha’sharon.

Magal S3 president and CEO Eitan Livneh said, "We perceive the safe city application as part of a holistic paradigm to improve the quality of life in cities."
