NVT Phybridge Helps a North American Government Agency Take an Innovative Approach to Increase Border Security

OAKVILLE, Ontario, April 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A North American Government Agency took an innovative approach to increase security across 360 border crossing locations. The agency leveraged Modern LAN Principles to overcome their digital transformation barriers and improve the outcome of their modernization initiative.

Developed by Frost & Sullivan (a market research and analysis firm), the Modern LAN Principles provide an enhancement on traditional network design to securely and effectively connect IP endpoints back to the application. The principles focus heavily on leveraging new technologies and PoE (Power over Ethernet) innovations to deploy IoT (Internet of Things) endpoints in the most financially and socially responsible manner.

The 360 border crossing locations are now fully equipped with more than 8,000 advanced IP cameras. These new devices provide high-definition viewing and recording capabilities; allowing the agency to improve risk identification while reducing the response time to potential security threats. The new surveillance system has also helped the agency become more efficient with border crossing procedures, with new applications and intelligence helping to: 

    --  Reduce the average time spend at a border crossing location by 50%
    --  Reduce the amount of paperwork required during the import/export process
        with the integration of QR codes
    --  Eliminate several personnel interactions at border crossing locations

By leveraging Modern LAN Principles and the NVT Phybridge CLEER24 switch innovation, the agency was able to avoid the traditional "rip-and-replace" process. The solution allowed the agency to deploy the new IP surveillance system using the existing Coax-based infrastructure to improve their outcome. The agency was able to: 

    --  Complete the entire project 80% faster
    --  Reduce project costs by more than $3 million
    --  Reduce risk and disruption to key border crossing activities
    --  Establish a robust and secure IP backbone for the new surveillance
        system
    --  Prevent over 60 tons of cabling e-waste
