NICE Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: NICE), a leading global provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract Insight from Interactions to drive performance, today announced that it has been selected by China\'s Chongqing Metro to provide NICE\'s digital video security solution to enhance safety and security at the 18 monorail stations of its Line 3 route, against crime and potential threats. The NICE solution was selected following successful deployment of 6 Beijing Metro lines, and comes following the seventh project for Beijing Metro\'s Line 15. NICE\' business partner for the project is Beijing JingShiDa Machinery and Equipment Research Institute.
The Chongqing Metro is a monorail system in Chongqing, the first of its kind in China, part of the central government\'s project to develop the Western regions in China. Line 3 will run from north to south, linking the districts separated by Chongqing\'s two main rivers, the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers. When completed, Line 3 will be over 21 kilometers long, and will have 18 stations, five of which will be underground. The line is also intended to be extended north toward Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport and south to Yudong in Ba\'nan District.
NICE\'s advanced real-time distributed digital video solution will be deployed to help protect passengers and the metro line and stations. It will be deployed in the Traffic Command and Control Center, connected to a security system that consists of 700 channels. By providing real-time alerts to security personnel, the result will be enhanced passenger safety and better asset protection.
