Oman's Ministry of Transport & Communications has selected Thales to deliver an integrated security solution for installation in two of its newest airports in Muscat and Salalah.

Thales, as the master system integrator (MSI) for both airports, will provide a high technology integrated security solution that will be managed by an airport operation control centre.

The solution will include perimeter intrusion detection system, video protection system, access control, screening equipment, security check points, access and backbone network along with data centres to ensure high performance and quality of services.

Additionally, Thales will take over the responsibilities related to testing of new technologies, training operators and developing new procedures, contributing to the airports' over-all operations.

The deal is expected to interconnect the airports through hub development with inter-operability and service support for security stakeholders.
