orderly evacuation is through ambient noise detection. By sensing and measuring sound levels within a space and adjusting subsequent message sound levels, the VES ensures that messages can be heard and are not drowned out by a loud environment. This guarantees that a facility’s occupants are notified as quickly and as clearly as possible. Similarly, in quieter areas the system is able to accommodate the message volume in order to prevent startling or panicking passengers.
Given the complexity, sophistication and importance of a media system that has an integrated voice alarm network, it is imperative any system installed comes from a partner you can trust. Moreover, any technology partner supplying you should be one that can ensure the network will not only be installed correctly but will be fully maintained and supported throughout its usage. It’s also vital to ensure that any prospective system is fully up to date with all current compliance standards and guidelines, including EN 54–16 product certifi- cation. This is a standard for all new buildings that incorporate a VES – if the system does not have the certification it cannot be used for emergency voice evacuation purposes. Standardising the industry means that users can be sure that no matter what the product, it will perform as they require it, in conjunction with the rest of the system. Without standar-

disation and product certification, users run the risk of investing in expensive systems that do not perform as needed when required – a potentially fatal flaw when it comes to airport safety and security.
first X-ray machine was installed in Beijing Capital International Airport in 1984, over 15,000 FISCAN X-ray security systems have been deployed in more than 30 countries and regions at airports, seaports, customs, railway stations, highway, governmental departments and many other security-related applications. Based on its own R&D, FISCAN possesses its own intellectual property rights which enable the company to provide a whole set of custom-designed products and security inspection solutions.
Conclusion
Unlike any other public space, an airport is probably the most difficult public facility to control and secure. With thousands of passen- gers moving through a myriad of corridors and walk-ways, they are likely to be unfamiliar with their surroundings, while the vast, disjointed building structures may prove to be difficult to monitor.

While most of the focus placed in airports lies with identifying security alerts, it is just as important to put a communication system in place that enables for fast response times and orderly evacuation in case of a security emergency. Expecting varied communication systems to work together, be centrally managed, and be highly flexible in message distribution means an airport will be able to deal quickly and efficiently with any security alert or emergency situation. A networked voice evacuation and paging system should therefore be an integral part of the security and control infrastructure command of any airport.
