Georgia Port Authority Gets Ahead of the Tech Curve
After 9/11, dramatic changes to the port infrastructure of the United States took place. At one time, most ports were wide open campuses of commerce. But gradually, they have become highly secure gates on the front lines of the economy with highly integrated access, surveillance and critical communications technology.
Georgia Port Authority (GPA) prides itself on being ahead of the curve. Georgia’s deep water ports are critical to the region and the country, accounting for more than 350,000 jobs, $66.9 billion in revenue and $18.5 billion in income.
