Adesta has been selected to design, install and integrate an enhanced command and control system for the Port of Corpus Christi, in Corpus Christi, Texas. The new state of the art system will control all the Port’s security subsystems, both existing and new. The new subsystems include advanced radar sensors as well as computer aided dispatch, automated vehicle and personnel location devices and additional video analytics capabilities. The $3.5M project is expected to be completed in September of 2010.

The new command and control platform will allow the port to have an all encompassing view of security status in real time. It will merge event and alarm reporting from all of the various systems into a single operator interface. The radar and SONAR systems add an additional layer of protection for the port entrances; and the new computer aided dispatch (CAD) and records management systems will greatly improve the response time and information management aspects for occurrences and events, while providing a more reliable, up-to-the-minute history and reporting source.

“Adesta was the prime integrator for the Port of Corpus Christi’s deployment of an intelligent video system,” said Arch Archambo, Corpus Christi Chief of Police and Security. “We were very satisfied with their performance and commitment, and expect a similar success in the case of this state-of-the-art Command and Control installation.”
