Hong Kong airport commends CEM's airport solutions

Recently voted the ‘Worlds Best Airport for 2003’, Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) has presented a certificate of special recognition to CEM Systems, a business unit of Tyco Fire & Security based in Belfast, for its contributions and commitment to the airport.

HKIA topped the polls in the Skytrax Airport of the Year Survey, believed to be the world's most extensive airport survey of airline passengers with almost two million passenger nominations received.

As a major aviation hub in the region, HKIA currently has a handling capacity of 45 million passengers per annum, channelling them through 288 check-in desks and 75 flight gates operating round-the-clock. In the background, a CEM security system is helping protect these passengers.

“Security for passengers and staff at such a large complex is a daunting task,” said Andrew Fulton, Business Development Director at CEM Systems. “CEM is proud to have provided the airport with a customised access control solution that not only provides advanced security but also helps the airport operate more efficiently.”

CEM supplied a fully integrated access control security system that handles over 30,000 cardholders with some 1,800 access points.

CEM Systems, a business unit of Tyco International’s Fire & Security division, has over 15 years experience in the design and manufacture of security management systems including access control, ID production, people counting and building integration systems for clients worldwide.

The company is a leader in providing technologically advanced solutions to meet customer needs.
