The city of Alcorcon, a Madrid suburb with a 165,000 population, has added video analytics from Ioimage, of Herzliya, Israel, to assist local law enforcement in handling the large amounts of video footage taken by surveillance cameras that cover the 20-square-mile perimeter of the city.

Ioimage’s autonomous pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) tracking capabilities have been incorporated into an array of PTZ cameras to provide automatic tracking of people and vehicles. PTZ cameras are commonly controlled manually for wide-area surveillance, while Ioimage’s autonomous PTZ tracking enables standard PTZ cameras to automatically identify, zoom-in on and track people and vehicles, without the intervention of human operators and without relying on additional cameras. The Alcorcon contract was for "more than" $100,000, according to a company representative.


Duluth, GA-based DataPath, Inc., a provider of satellite and wireless communications networks, has been awarded $1.7 million to provide field services support for the Ramstein Air Base satellite communications teleport, a Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) hub for military communications, operated by the U.S. Air Force. The teleport links military X-band networks with commercial Ku-band networks to enhance overall bandwidth capacity and provide network-centric, high-bandwidth capabilities to U.S. forces. DataPath was the original builder of the DISA hub.


Mountain View, CA-based LaserCard Corp., a provider of secure ID solutions, has received a follow-on purchase order valued at $2.8 million to supply secure identity cards for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s national ID card program. This brings the total value of orders received for the program since April 2008 to $7.4 million. The most recent order is for the continued supply of optical smart cards, to be issued via offices in cities throughout Saudi Arabia. The wallet-sized Saudi ID card features LaserCard’s optical memory security and a contact chip on one side and the cardholder’s picture and demographic information on the other.
