Taking advantage of the burgeoning security market in India, Reliance Security Solutions Limited, a subsidiary of Reliance Industries Ltd., (RIL) and Siemens Ltd. have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop Homeland Security Solutions for safe, secure and smart cities and highways in India.
The Indian security market is expected to be one of the largest growing markets in the world over the next decade and this initiative will result in India joining a select set of advanced nations which are beginning to use 4G wireless networks for law enforcement purposes.
The role of surveillance and security has assumed a greater level of importance considering the fact that insurgency and terrorism has become a global phenomenon. With the traditional security platforms being inadequate to address these new challenges, there is a emerging need to move over to intelligent electronic security solutions.
Pan-India Spectrum
With contiguous, pan-India broadband wireless access spectrum, Reliance plans to offer fourth generation (4G) wireless networking services for safety, security and other advanced applications. Reliance and Siemens will combine to leverage the 4G network for the low latency and assured quality of service (QoS) required for video and security applications.
Reliance has designed and operates the world’s largest integrated security automation system consisting of over 12,000 cameras apart from tens of thousands of other advanced security sensors, radars, and video analytics among others. It has implemented advanced command and control centres for security of its own critical infrastructure for more than a decade.
Reliance also has vast domain experience with hundreds of security and safety professionals having background in defence, paramilitary and police, as well as its own internally trained resources.
