This contract illustrates the RELEVANT-IT team members’s individual experience with the Port of Houston as a contributing designer and integrator of port-wide wireless communications infrastructure and “IP” CCTV security networking with the Electronic Sercurity Information Management System application. The Secuirity Engineer members were responsible for the overall system integration and provided feasability studies as well as design recommendations to the prime, as well as providing integration engineering consulting and support for the E.S.I.M.S. project.
Summary of Work Performed:
In support of a various Homeland Security initiatives funded by several TSA Grants, the Security Engineer provided extensive design, engineering, and integration services to the Port-Wide security project for both CCTV and Access Control. The project encompasses a wide area network connecting the terminals along the 27 mile shipping channel and unites the various terminal facilities into a security information network. The Port of Houston is the sixth largest port facility world wide and plays a vital role in the nation’s economy.
Port Security Issues:PHA needed to utilize both access control, CCTV, sensors and other IT based technology solutions to address security requirements in the Port community. Given the proximity to downtown metropolitan Houston, as well as vital petrochemical facilities, the first responders needed to be able to make effective and timely critical security decisions dependent upon the data produced by these multiple systems. The Port recognized that a manageable user interface tool was required to unify the systems: E.S.I.M.S. The Port’s prime contractor turned to RELEVANT-IT personnel for support on the E.S.I.M.S. integration from the standpoint of the infrastructure support and integration. Additionally, the team provided support and expert services to the software publishers.
This contract illustrates the RELEVANT-IT teams member’s individual experience with the Port of Beaumont as a contributing designer and integrator of port-wide wireless communications infrastructure and “IP” CCTV security networking with Intelligent Video provided by Object Video. The Secuirity Engineer members were responsible for the overall system integration and provided feasability studies as well as design recommendations to the prime. The project overall included camera-based surveillance and wireless communications equipment, and integration with other port data network services, and application engineering.
Summary of Work Performed:
In 2005, the Port of Beaumont received grant funding for two Wireless networking and CCTV projects, which were completed by the Engineer. The total projects exceeded $800,000. The Port of Beaumont maintains complete facilities to handle a variety of cargo, including, but not limited to, Forest Products, Grains, Project Cargo, Military, Bagged Goods, Aggregate, Metals, and Wood Chips. THE ENGINEER’s responsibilities for these projects was to design, engineer, and install wireless network as well as fixed infrastructure for the CCTV surveillance project. Services included configuring and installing cameras, including PTZ, full color, and thermal long range, and to create the network head end and provision the new COC. Initially, the team was recommended to the project by the IVS manufacturer, Object Video, and subsequently, the team also set up the Intelligent Video, and trained the end-users. The project also included all aspects of IT security services
This contract illustrates the RELEVANT-IT team member’s individual experience with the Port of Freeport as a contributing designer and integrator of port-wide wireless communications infrastructure and “IP” CCTV security networking with Intelligent Video provided by Object Video. The Secuirity Engineer members were responsible for remediation of the initial installation and ultimately the successful overall system integration. The scope of work included complete point to point wireless spectrum analysis and programming of the intelligent video solution procured by the port.. The project overall included camera-based surveillance and wireless communications equipment, and integration with other port data network services, and application engineering.
Summary of Work Performed:
Port Freeport was established more than a century ago when the first jetty system was built in Freeport, Texas. Since that time, the Port has become one of the fastest growing ports on the entire Gulf Coast, and is currently ranked as the 12th largest port in the United States in terms of tonnage. At the Port of Freeport, THE ENGINEER was responsible first to remediate the existing network design, to analyze and then execute a new design; all in preparation for the deployment of the Intelligent Video application.
Overall, the team’s responsibilities included design, engineering, the installation of the wireless network as well as fixed infrastructure for the CCTV surveillance project. Services included configuring and installing cameras, including PTZ, full color, and thermal long range, and to create the network head end and provision the new COC. Initially, the team was recommended to the project by the IVS manufacturer, Object Video, and subsequently, the team also set up the Intelligent Video, and trained the end-users. The project also included all aspects of IT services with security.
This contract illustrates the RELEVANT-IT team member’s individual experience with the Port of Long Beach as contributing designers, integrators, and commissioning agents for the port-wide wireless communications infrastructure and “IP” CCTV security networking project. The project represented a significant milestone as it was the first successful deployment of wireless infrastructure networking in a maritime port for homeland security. THE ENGINEER team members success on the project has been recognized as they have been engaged for future services by the Port of Long Beach for Security Information Networking Services.
Summary of Work Performed:
The Port of Long Beach is one of the world's busiest seaports, a leading gateway for trade between the United States and Asia. Long Beach is the second busiest port in the United States and overall, the 12th busiest container cargo port in the world. At the Port of Long Beach, the Engineer lead the team responsible for the configuration of the wireless infrastructure network, including multipoint backhaul and aggregation design, with redundant features provided by free space optics.
The comprehensive scope of work included complete point to point wireless spectrum analysis and subsequent programming of all radios, codecs, servers, workstations, and complete head-end build-out. Overall, the team’s responsibilities included design, engineering, the installation of the wireless network as well as fixed infrastructure for the CCTV surveillance project. Services included configuring and installing cameras, including PTZ, full color, and thermal long range, and to create the network head end and provision the new COC. After system testing and acceptance, the project engineers now on the Engineer also provided end user training and system documentation.
