Port of Long Beach
The Port of Long Beach is the second busiest container port in the USA, presenting unique challenges for the various agencies collectively responsible for maintaining security. The new $21 million facility serves as the communications hub and headquarters for the Port of Long Beach Security Division and Harbor Patrol, as well as housing personnel from the Long Beach Police Department, Port of Los Angeles, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and Marine Exchange during an emergency. The new Joint Command and Control Center required an information display system capable of facilitating collaboration within a multi-agency environment. It was critical that the system was a network-based solution capable of establishing connectivity among diverse locations spread over three floors, as well as being easily extended to connect with organizations in other geographic locations in the future.
