SABMiller Angola appoints March Networks for security

The SABMiller Angola portfolio includes international beers such as Peroni and locally produced N'Gola. It is also a bottler of Coca-Cola products. The company began operations in Angola in the 1990s and last year opened a new, US$150 million brewery and soft drink plant. It has selected March Networks' video solution to enhance security and operations at the site.

Asset protection, security capabilities

The solution includes video recording platforms, encoders, and intelligent management software used to monitor video streaming from all surveillance cameras. It enables staff to remotely monitor the facility on a 24/7 basis and store video for up to 30 days. SABMiller Angola now has the asset protection and security capabilities it required to increase employee safety and significantly reduce the possibility of intrusion, theft and other fraudulent activity.

"We are extremely impressed with March Networks' VideoSphere solution," said Johan De Bruin, national security manager, SABMiller Angola. "The system will enhance our ability to manage and resolve potential security breaches across our property, and ensure that we can focus on our core business and continue to grow our operations."

"The March Networks' solution delivers the reliability our customer needs and scales to enable future expansion or enhancements, including IP camera installations and support for additional analytics features," said Paulo Ricardo, GM, SE - Seguranca Electronica, the March Networks' systems integrator responsible for the deployment.

"We are very pleased to be a part of SABMiller Angola's development efforts," said Peter Strom, president and CEO, March Networks. "Working with our expert partner SE - Seguranca Electronica, we will deliver the highest levels of support to meet their demanding performance requirements, and continue our strategic expansion in this growing region."
