Aruba Networks and Omni Data secure Clinton Public School System

Jun 23, 2008 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- ARUN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Aruba Networks has announced that the Clinton Public School System in Connecticut has selected Aruba's wireless LAN technology for use in wireless video surveillance systems at the district's four elementary, intermediate, and high schools.

Aruba partner Omni Data will be providing integration services for the project. The first deployment, at the Lewis G Joel Elementary School, collects surveillance video from Panasonic cameras over secure Wi-Fi links, delivers the data to a Milestone IP Surveillance System, and makes the video available to school officials and mobile police vehicles over an encrypted Wi-Fi channel.

The system is able to display individuals' faces at a distance of over 400 meters, and read license plates at over 200 meters.

Scott Sebastian, Omni Data's director of sales, said: "Aruba's wireless LAN technology is fast and simple to deploy, and unlike competing mesh technologies it ensures privacy by keeping the video images encrypted from end-to-end.

Milestone's software is both highly sophisticated and easy to operate, and its capabilities were exactly as advertised. The system is now being deployed throughout Clinton's schools and we look forward to providing the same solution to other school districts in the days ahead."
