“The GTAA was looking for a field-proven, large-scale visualization and collaboration solution for sensitive environments so we could guarantee top-notch safety and security at Toronto Pearson International Airport. We wanted a solution that leveraged our extensive investments in network technology and airport safety infrastructure, used commercially available hardware, provided a network-based solution for comprehensive visualization, enabled peer-to-peer information sharing, analysis and collaboration and supported bi-directional communications and securely display across mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones that leverage our airport-wide wireless network. Moreover, we wanted a future-proof solution that would scale with expanded GTAA operations. Activu successfully met all of our requirements. In addition, Activu is an acknowledged leader for visualization and collaboration applications such as border security, and this gave us the added confidence to partner with them in our quest to make Toronto Pearson one of the world’s best airports.” – Hossana Ashagrie, Project Manager, Design Services and Terminal Construction, Greater Toronto Airports Authority.
