Suvarnabhumi Airport was planned for maximum flexibility, scalability, and performance to serve passengers and accommodate future growth; hence all deployed systems, including security, had to meet the same exacting standards. Airport management sought security technology that was 100% IP-based and would never need replacing—only upgraded and expanded.
The planners envisioned an IP-based platform that would provide the highest levels of security, but also could integrate and manage across multiple systems and databases to provide greater operational efficiencies and even generate revenue streams
The chosen security platform was slated for multiple locations throughout the airport, and in the back of the planners' minds was always the consideration that it could extend and integrate with other security systems around the airport, or even in Bangkok, several miles away.
The DVTEL Latitude platform was selected as the primary command and control management software and to provide IP network video surveillance for what would eventually number thousands of surveillance cameras located throughout the airport's passenger terminals, concourse buildings, parking areas, baggage inspection rooms, and baggage conveyor areas. Recently, the King Power duty-free operation with 180 individual stores also chose Latitude to manage over 500 cameras covering the 4,000 sqm of luxury duty-free shopping.
