Magal Security Systems Wins an Order to Protect an International Border
Crossing in the United States
Wednesday January 21, 8:24 am ET
YAHUD, Israel, January 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magal Security Systems, Ltd.
(NASDAQ GMS: MAGS; TASE: MAGS), today announced that it has received, through
its U.S.-based subsidiary, an order of approximately $1 million to supply a
security and protection system for a major United States international border
crossing. The order is expected to be delivered during 2009.
Protecting this particular border crossing, which is used by many people and
goods transferring between the United States and the neighboring country, will
include an array of mobile and thermal cameras for border perimeter protection,
as well as a people tracking and inspection matrix based on RFID technology,
access and gate control, with wireless information broadcast for personnel and
vehicles, managed by Magal's FORTIS command & control module.
Izhar Dekel, CEO of Magal said: "Given the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security's stringent demands and the highest standards required for the
protection of international borders, Magal's technology is particularly suitable
and has the strongest capabilities to provide this solution. This project
leverages Magal's ability and experience in international border protection. We
are adding a leading customer reference to our testimonial list, and this order
increases our market share in border crossing protection in the United States
and worldwide."
Mr. Dekel concluded, "We hope that this new relationship will lead to follow-on
installations at other border crossings as well as additional orders within the
U.S. Homeland Security market segment."
