Security is the result of proper preparations.
Never has security been a more discussed topic as today. Never has there

And never has there been a more comprehensive approach in the field of
security management as Siemens Integrated Command Control Center
Solutions.
In today’s world, security is a major
issue for most organizations – both
governmental and private. From
protecting sensitive industrial sites to
supplying safety for entire communi-
ties or even countries – never has
precise security management been as
City of Nanning CERC crucial as nowadays. And the task is
crucial. More security today means

tively is key to providing seamless and

generated, it has to be decided which

that has to happen as quickly as pos-
sible. An Integrated Security Solution
comprises specifying, designing and

ble for handling crises.

”With these [C4I] world class systems citizens
and visitors to Greece will see new levels of
Security cooperation, coordination and
operations and ultimately a safe and friendly
Athens 2004 Olympic Games.”
Ioannis Spanudakis, Managing Director
Athens 2004 Olympic Organizing Committee
All security forces were managed by this command control center.
The 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece,
were anticipated as the largest and most
observed of all times-which was exactly
what turned out to be. Two million visitors
from all over the world came to the an-
cient city of Athens and 22,000 athletes
competed in this mass gathering. And all
that in a time of global instability.
Siemens was contracted by the Hellenic
Government to adapt the known C4I
(Command, Control, Communication,
Computer Intelligence) military concept in
order to help support, deploy and enforce
public safety and security operations for
this major event through offering and im-
plementing the most efficient technical
solution possible.
A cohesive architecture was laid out to fa-
cilitate a smooth workflow of all security
forces involved in the project. The result was
the largest and most sophisticated system
for public safety and security today. A total
of 5,000 kilometers of cables were laid out
to connect over 1,500 surveillance cameras
and physical security systems for over 120
Olympic venues and nine cities and ports
throughout Greece equipped with nine li-
cense plate recognition systems, 30 ac-
cess controlled port gates, 120 different
local and regional command centers, al-
most 3,000 pieces of Information Tech-
nology office, network and server equip-
ment, an extensive Digital Trunk Commu-
nication System (TETRA) of a 30,000-user
capacity and an Automatic Vehicle Locating
System of approximately 6,000 police, fire
brigade, coast guard, ambulance, army
and government sea, land and air vehicles
designed to make the city of Athens the
safest place on the planet.
In this direction, our team of experts
worked closely with security specialists from
all over the world and implemented a fully
operational C4I within a 12-month period.
The C4I concept had never been imple-
mented to serve non-military operations
before the Athens Olympics event. The
Siemens Team, working closely with the
responsible Hellenic Public Safety and
Military agencies in Athens, had to com-
bine and integrate the vast range of solutions,
products and experience offered by an
established worldwide network of own
and partners’ competencies, into a com-
prehensive and efficient methodology
based on operational expertise of a core
team for public safety operations. The de-
livered systems were officially tested and
advertised on a global scale during six in-
tense weeks of Games with millions of
users watching and thousands of athletes
competing under this state-of-the-art se-
curity umbrella.

Managing an emergency response system for a city
with a population of one million people has to be
coordinated very carefully. The city of Nanning, China,

If you live in Finland, the cold weather should be your
only concern. Thanks to Siemens, all other security
issues are very well handled. All major communities in
Finland have been equipped with our Emergency
Response Centers. That way, first response management
can be executed seamlessly and quickly. Every piece of
information concerning a certain task is immediately
filtered and directed accordingly. With the help of this
sophisticated security communication architecture, help
is very near in Finland.
No other sporting event on earth compares to
Formula One racing in terms of sophistication and
technology standards. In a sport where great
emphasis is put on details and where everything is
high-tech (from the cars to the communications sy-
stems), there is also a need for highly advanced se-
curity management. And that is where Siemens ca-
me into play ...
When asked to complete the design and installation
of all technological equipment for the new Bahrain
International Circuit in a record ten-month period,
Siemens gladly accepted the challenge. The result is
perhaps the most sophisticated electronics installa-
tion at any sports venue. 36 remote controlled pole-
mounted video cameras were set up for track sur-
veillance. GPS synchronization for the timing and
security system was installed. And last but not least
– a cabling network of 550 km transmitting video,
audio and data signals between the circuit and the
control center was implemented.
