We often misinterpret the word “Airport Security” tells Mr. Raphael Khan, CEO of the Sydney-based Secure-Globe Pty Ltd. Although the words bear broad meaning but many times, we end-up with describing the sophisticated electronic gadgets used inside the airport. Have we thought about the security threat that possibly could emerge across the boundary walls, which runs into several kilometres surrounding the airport facility? Asks Mr. Kahn.Mr. Kahn’s company is into selling of perimeter security, which also mean boundary fencing. This is far superior and very cost-effective than the conventional microwave security system that is generally used by many airports, says Mr. Kahn.
According to him, his perimeter security concept is unique and easy to use, which causes no harm to human beings or grazing animals in the surroundings.
The installation process is very simple, says Mr. Kahn, an aluminium zinc coated frames that is manufactured by Secure-Globe comes with wires, stainless steel springs and UV resistors. The frames also called poles should be installed at strategic locations and electricity ranging from 12 to 9,000 volts (adjustable) could be passed on to the installation, thereafter. It can also be connected to hidden cameras through a centralised monitoring hub in the vicinity. This way, the airport authority can easily thwart any attacks by the miscreants that comes from across the boundary, he adds.
Is not that passing current on the poles is against convention?
No, legally as well as technically it is correct, says Mr. Kahn. According to him, a person who touches the fence (despite a warning billboard) only gets mild shock coupled with instant giddiness and loses consciousness for an hour.
Secure-Globe has many installations across the world to its credit. The clients list though runs into several hundreds but to name few, it has BMW, SAAB to claim. The company has recently bagged a perimeter security contract from the Ministry of External Affairs, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is also setting up fencing for one of the Chinese radio stations.
According to Mr. Kahn, his perimeter fencing is less expensive and could cost about $0.5-mn to cover a small airport of around 3-km in size. He feels that building a concrete boundary wall might be more costly than his perimeter security.
Mr. Kahn feels there’s huge potential in India and China and he wants to target diversified sectors in both countries, including seaports, water installations, defence,
