Integrated RFID, Sensor Port Security Solution To Deploy in Barbados

The Port of Bridgetown in Barbados, one of the leading ports in the Caribbean, has awarded Axcess International Inc. a $2 million contract for an integrated RFID and sensor system that will be deployed to enhance security measures in preparation of the Cricket World Cup 2007. The system includes Axcess' unique ActiveTag technology and infrastructure; wireless sensors; and underwater cameras that work in concert to detect and manage security threats.

The ActiveTag technology is designed to dramatically increase security coverage at the Port by automating the capture of a broad collection of real-time security information. The system has the capability for real time processing of the data, which enables automatic delivery of exception-based alerts for security personnel. The system is currently being installed and is expected to be completed in phases over the first half of 2007.

"Barbados Port Inc. has a history of high quality operations," said Everton Walters, managing director and CEO of Barbados Port Inc. "We are expanding and it became apparent we needed to deploy the most modern of security tools to provide the necessary coverage and level of security. This system will leverage our security resources substantially leading up to and during the Cricket World Cup 2007 this spring and well into the future."

"We are bringing together the very latest in sensor detection capabilities and integrating them in an intelligent, automated system," said Allan Griebenow, president and CEO at Axcess. "With broad coverage and the ability to analyze the information electronically in real time, security personnel are able to respond to exception-based alerts making them more productive and better prepared to address modern day threats."
