Aerodrom Ljubljana, which operates Jože Punik Ljubljana Airport, has long term plans for it to become the aviation hub for the whole region. With Slovenia's entry into the EU and admission to Schengen in 2007 came the need to increase airport capacity. In the first stage of a two-stage project, the existing passenger terminal (T1) has been renovated and a whole new 6,000 square metre storey added.
The extra space together with four new jetways now facilitate the separation of Schengen and non-Schengen traffic and make boarding easier. Part 2 of the project, due to start in 2011, involves the construction of a new T2 terminal adjoining T1, to provide capacity for a further 2.5 million passengers per year.
In fact, piece by piece, over the last two decades the airport has been completely rebuilt. And with each new construction project, the security systems have had to expand and develop. The airport's chosen video security system supplier for the original T1 building, the new garage and outdoor car parks as well as for the recent T1 renovation and additional storey was Geutebruck Adria. This business relationship has now been a long and satisfactory one.
Technological migration
Since 2006, all new additions to the video security systems have been purely IP. Around 100 new IQeye IP cameras and Axis IP SpeedDome cameras now work alongside the original 160 analogue ones. Late in 2008, some new powerful GeViScope video platforms were introduced. Besides increased performance these also brought exceptional video motion detection capabilities and enormous flexibility for future adaptation. In 2009/10, the need to relocate the control room to a new building provided the ideal opportunity to upgrade its facilities. The old analogue matrix and analogue monitor wall were replaced with a virtual digital matrix and an array of wide plasma monitors.
