Axis Communications, Extreme, Lenel and Milestone Teamed up to Secure 2017 Little League Baseball World Series
Four leading security manufacturers teamed up to provide safety and security solutions for the players, coaches and fans at the 71st Annual Little League Baseball World Series (LLBWS). For the first time, Milestone Systems joined Axis Communications, Extreme Networks and Lenel to provide video surveillance systems, access control and network connectivity for the 10-day tournament.
A fully integrated security system was in place as 16 Little League Baseball teams and hundreds of thousands of fans from around the globe came together Aug. 17-27 in South Williamsport. A priority of Little League Baseball officials is promoting a fun, exciting experience, while also providing the highest level of security.
“Our town of 6,500 people booms to almost half a million over the course of this annual event,” said Jim Ferguson, assistant director of risk management for the Little League Baseball World Series, before the event. “Making sure it is both fun for families, and safe for all who take part, is of utmost importance. We have every confidence in Axis Communications, Extreme Networks, Lenel and Milestone to help us achieve these goals. They are tested and proven systems, with each of these companies leaders in their field, chosen to protect the players and fans from around the world.”
