Genetec Helps Southwest Wyoming Regional Airport Modernize Security Operations
Genetec, a global company in enterprise physical security software, announced that Southwest Wyoming Regional Airport (RKS) has modernized its physical security operations using Genetec Security Center. The airport selected Genetec as part of its terminal modernization project to support future expansion, evolving Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requirements and potential new carriers and flight routes.
Located outside Rock Springs in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, the regional airport supports more than 11,000 annual flight operations and serves more than 50,000 passengers annually. The airport recently completed a $43 million commercial terminal modernization project. As part of the upgrade, airport leaders wanted to replace aging video surveillance and access control systems with an open and flexible platform that would allow them to expand security infrastructure without being locked into proprietary systems.
Working with systems integrator Incline Technology, the airport deployed Genetec Security Center to unify video surveillance, access control and alarms in a single interface.
“Our vision from the start was to deliver a system for RKS that’s easy to operate and support, and ready for future expansion,” said Nic Hasler, founder and president, Incline Technology.
With Security Center, the RKS team now has full visibility across the airport terminal, weather station, fuel station and Sweetwater Aviation facility. This allows them to improve visibility across the airport, respond faster to incidents and streamline day-to-day security management from one platform.
“Genetec Security Center brings everything into one place, which helps us manage security and airport operations much more efficiently than before,” said Devon Brubaker, airport director, RKS. “We’re only scratching the surface of what the system can do. This is the foundation we needed to keep adding capabilities and enhancing our operations.”
Airport staff are also using the Quick Search feature in Security Center to accelerate investigations and reduce the time spent reviewing footage after incidents. After a reported theft in the airport micro market, the team used Quick Search to review footage, identify when the inventory changed and confirm within minutes that the item had been purchased but mislabeled.
“We might be a small airport, but investing in Genetec Security Center allows us to operate like a much larger one,” Brubaker said. “The platform helps us work more efficiently today and sets us up to say yes to new opportunities in the future.”
