In early 2010, the Santa Rosa International Airport in El Oro, Ecuador opened to the public. This airport deals with both cargo and passenger traffic. The new airport will enable growth and development for Ecuador by encouraging new opportunities for growth in business and tourism. It offers flights to major cities in Ecuador like Guayaquil and Quito as well as the United States. The US$44 million international airport includes a 5,000 sq. m. terminal building. A 2,000m x 45m runway is capable of handling some of the world's largest aircraft.
Security was the primary concern for the Ecuadorian government. They needed to be able to monitor passengers the entire time they were on the airport premise. Crystal clear images were required to make identification simple. To meet these challenges Santa Rosa airport selected cutting edge MESSOA IP-cameras for their video surveillance system. Traditional analogue CCTV had many limits such as expensive installation cost over large areas and requiring the use of many obtrusive cables. IP solutions offer a single, scalable, integrated solution which provides high-quality video surveillance at a fraction of the cost.
