Future Fibre Technologies wins security contract for Middle East airport

Future Fibre's Secure Fence

Future Fibre Technologies (FFT) announced on Nov. 15 that the company has been awarded a multi-million dollar contract to supply its fiber optic perimeter intrusion detection systems for a major new civilian airport in the Middle East.   

Working with one of FFTs system integration partners, this complex project is comprised of multiple perimeters totaling almost 50 kilometers. The selected perimeter intrusion detection system was required to seamlessly integrate into existing third party security systems, and had to operate in an environmentally demanding high security environment, says a news release issued by Future Fibre.

An all-fiber-optic solution from FFT was selected as the most appropriate to protect this prestigious and critical national transport infrastructure.

Commenting on the project award, FFTs regional director, Adam Wilding-Webb, said, “The presence that FFT has in the Middle East, coupled with the unrivalled local sales and technical support we offer to our customers and partners, has enabled us to win projects such as this. Combined with our advanced technology and flexible design approach, an all-fiber solution from FFT represents the pinnacle in perimeter intrusion detection in today’s market.”

This most recent project follows several other significant FFT project wins recently in the Middle East, including a 20-kilometer seaport perimeter project which utilizes the FFT Secure Fence system, an 18-kilometer oil refinery and a nine-kilometer offshore gas storage facility.  

In each of these demanding projects, the end-users clearly recognized that a solution from FFT can cover up to 80-kilometers from a single location, requires no power in the field, is well proven in the harsh Middle Eastern environments, and can easily integrate with many advanced security management systems, says the company’s news release.
