Brazil. Less than three years before the start of the 2014 World Cup Brazil, the Brazilian Ministry of Sports announced that the company Johnson Controls has been chosen to design and install the advanced and integrated security systems of 12 of the most important stadiums in the country.
The $29 million project includes the design, supply and implementation of mass access control, which in some stadiums is up to 60,000 people. Likewise, the contract stipulates that the stadiums will have video surveillance (1,700 cameras), video servers for the recording and analysis of the material and a communications network between the scenarios used.
Alcino Reis Rocha, Minister of Sport, said: "Johnson Controls was selected in a tender process in which the company showed a superior understanding of the technology needed to complete the complex project.
The completion of the design and installation process is expected to take around a year, as in addition to the World Cup, the FIFA Confederations Cup will be held in Brazil in 2013.
