A manufacturer and installer of fiber-optic intrusion detection systems, Future Fibre Technologies (FFT) has opened a new office in Delhi, India, to service and support the company’s growing activity in that country.
India’s development, rapid population growth and the increased security risks combine to present special challenges to the suppliers and operators responsible for protecting the nation’s critical infrastructure sites.
The opening of the new office, strategically located at Gurgaon -- near both the Indira Gandhi International Airport and Cyber City, and within the technology center of Delhi -- signals FFT’s commitment to increasing awareness and knowledge of fiber optic-based security solutions in the region.
FFT is no stranger to India, says a news release issued by the company on Jan. 19. The company has been active in many projects in recent years, including the highly successful deployment of perimeter intrusion detection and pipeline protection systems at LNG and petrochemical plants.
FFT’s new office, managed by Sanjay Oberoi, the newly-appointed country manager for India, will house a full demo suite for technical training and product demonstrations, along with local sales and technical support staff.
Oberoi, who has worked with both security systems and fiber optic products for many years in India, is familiar with the special challenges facing those responsible for security in the region. His expertise will help the company’s new and existing customers identify the best solution available.
“Regardless of the application or solution selected, the most important item by far in any security plan is to actually have a plan, and secondly, to have a procedure in place for responding to an intrusion when it occurs,” says Oberoi. “There’s no doubt that the latest generation of detection products are far more advanced than their predecessors, resulting in quicker, cheaper and smarter protection of assets and critical infrastructures.”
