The Port de La Rochelle, a 470-acre site on the west coast of France, is one of the largest commercial ports in Europe, gains more than 3000 visits per day, and is accessed by more than 10,000 badge holders. Authorities at the Port de La Rochelle sought to increase port security.
They found their surveillance solution: a wireless Internet Protocol-based system from Proxim Wireless Corp., a provider of core-to-client solutions for broadband wireless networks in San Jose, Calif. The wireless solution needed to offer security and video surveillance, personnel and vehicle access, control of shipping traffic, and IP telephony.
