Moscow's Metro

Axis Communications today announced that the company is opening a new sales
office in Russia (Moscow). There is great interest in network video in the
region and by establishing a local office, Axis strengthens its presence on a
market with development potential.
In connection to this, the company also announces that the installation in
Moscow Metro today comprises more than 3 000 Axis network video products and has
potential for further installations. 


By establishing a local office, Axis strengthens its presence on the Russian
market. In Russia, one can see great potential for network video within new
construction in particular, but also in transport and retailing as well as
industry. Business on the Russian market has been conducted from the office in
Lund for many years. 

“The region has great potential. The growing markets in Russia make high demands
on security within the public and private sectors”, says Ray Mauritsson.

Axis network cameras and Axis video servers are now installed at three of the
Moscow metro's 12 lines. The network video products are part of an integrated
security system aimed at improving safety and security for passengers and staff
on the subway trains. Allowing remote access to video on the moving trains, the
products enable visual verification of alarms and quick responses by security
personnel to any event. Moscow metro's video surveillance installation has been
conducted by Axis' partner and systems integrator, Metrokom.

“I'm pleased that Axis has received an additional order from the Moscow Metro. I
see the additional order as a confirmation of the high quality and functionality
of the previously installed products,” says Ray Mauritsson, President of Axis
Communications.
