RIL, Siemens join hands to develop security solutions

Reliance Security Solutions, an arm of Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), on Monday said it had signed a memorandum of understanding with Siemens to develop homeland security solutions for cities, highways and important buildings, among other things.

Reliance and Siemens would combine to leverage the 4G network for the low latency and assured quality of service required for video and security applications, RIL said in a release. Reliance said it had designed and operated the world’s largest integrated security automation system, consisting of 12,000 cameras, apart from thousands of other advanced sensors, radars and video analytics, among other things.

Siemens Building Technologies, a division of Siemens India, will bring its renowned security solution, Siveillance, to the venture. Siveillance is the family name of all elements of the security solutions portfolio from Siemens.

These solutions have been designed and developed at the Siemens R&D facility in Chennai.

Siemens is using these solutions at landmark buildings such as Dubai Police HQ, Doha 2006 Asian Games, Qatar, and Port of Rotterdam, Netherlands, according to RIL.

RIL has implemented advanced command and control centres for the security of its own critical infrastructure for more than a decade. It also has vast domain experience, with hundreds of security and safety professionals having background in defence, paramilitary and police, as well as internally trained resources.
