Two unnamed airport authorities, one in Eastern Europe and one in the United States, have selected Israeli companies to provide them with security systems. Like other airports worldwide, the two new clients have determined that Israeli security technologies and experts are among the best the industry has to offer.



Magal Security Systems Ltd., headquartered in Yehud, near Tel Aviv, announced earlier this month that the operators of an unnamed airport in Eastern Europe have decided to extend their security contract with the company. The new deal is worth $3.8 million. The project to protect the airport includes the provision of video and data communication systems.



Ra'anana-based NICE Systems also announced this month that it signed its largest-ever contract for its digital video security solution at one the largest airports in the United States.



NICE provides high video quality, a wide range of storage options and the ability to monitor and record data from thousands of cameras simultaneously. NICE also delivers advanced video analysis capabilities for enhanced monitoring of critical security zones.



"This decision to invest in NICE is strong additional proof that our solution is considered to be the optimal technological and financial answer for major airports worldwide," said Doron Eidelman, corporate executive VP and president of NICE's digital video security division.
