Brivo Systems, provider of Web applications for access control and security systems, has announced that Colorado’s Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport uses its ACS WebService to ensure full access control to the aircraft operating area. Protection One, a nationally authorized reseller of the Brivo solution, won the contract for installation and maintenance.
Colorado’s fourth busiest airport, the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport has more than 180,000 take-offs and landings each year, is home to a number of flight and helicopter schools, and is the North American headquarters for Pilatus Business Aircraft. At any one time, the Brivo system manages more than 2,300 active security cards being utilized by airport and related personnel as well as service providers to airport businesses.
When the existing access control software became outdated, the airport decided to upgrade with Brivo. The company’s panels are installed at all 13 airport gates. Eleven of the gates are controlled by the wireless (cellular) version of the control panel, and two are controlled by IP-based devices. Airport officials do a monthly audit to maintain tight control over the changing population of badge holders. In addition, the system is programmed to provide redundant alerts in the event of gate failures, as well as the 24-hour agent-on-duty’s cell phone. Such event notifications, set up by a system administrator, may be delivered via E-mail, phone, or pager.
