Axis Communications has been awarded a federal Supply Schedule Contract
by the U.S. General Services Administration. The GSA schedule includes
all Axis networked video products for security and surveillance
applications.
Axis networked cameras and video servers are currently used by law
enforcement agencies, departments of transportation, government
buildings, and educational and correctional facilities for advanced
security, surveillance and remote monitoring applications. The new GSA
schedule will allow Axis to further develop its relationship with
government buyers, and it will enable the company's channel partners to
sell Axis networked video products to the federal government under Axis'
contract.
"The U.S. federal government is expected to spend more than USD37.7
billion for Homeland Security this year, including cutting-edge security
and surveillance technology," said James Marcella, government sales
manager for Axis Communications. "With its GSA schedule in place, Axis
and its channel partners are in a prime position to capitalize on these
new sales opportunities."
Axis network cameras and video servers contain built-in Web servers,
compression chips and operating systems, enabling them to connect to the
computer network in minutes and transmit images over an intranet or the
Internet. This allows users with the proper passwords to view images
via a Web browser and transmit critical images to law enforcement
agencies or the media within seconds.
