Magal receives prison security contract

YEHUD, Israel, Oct. 28 (UPI) -- A new high-security prison in Latin America is being outfitted with multilayer Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems by Magal Security Systems Ltd. of Israel.

The value of the contract to the Israeli company, which didn't identify its customer, is about $2.7 million.

Magal said the project includes a turn-key installation of many of its core products and technologies: MagBar, a tailor-made physical smart barrier; a fence-mounted fiber optic detection system; and volumetric virtual fences, including buried cable and microwave systems.

Various third-party CCTV and sensors complement the multilayered protection system, which will be integrated by Magal S3 Security Management System.
