We have recently designed, developed, and fabricated our new range of Fully Certified Blast Enhanced Doors ISO 16933:2007 ASIAD compliant sliding door systems. With the number of threats increasing constantly, we saw a great need to develop a product that can be installed in various infrastructure buildings in order to protect those inside. Doors of this nature have been produced before, however we take great pride in being able to say that we manufacture the largest doors that have ever withstood a blast test of this magnitude; measuring 30% larger than any comparable doors systems. A few weeks ago, the JLC Group Ltd. Bomb-blast team, joined by members of London Gatwick Airport security department, witnessed the incredible force generated by a car bomb. What was more impressive was what followed… a JLC sliding door system, gleaming in the sun, showing nought but a scratch, and still operational. Gallery

The need to utilise the most advanced security measures is emphasised by the continuation of terror attacks around the world. Here, Major General (Res.) Aharon Zeevi Farkash, Founder & President, FST Biometrics discusses the need for Biometric fusion. As those in the intelligence community will know, collecting reliable and actionable intelligence cannot rely on a single person or source. Following just one lead, or acting on one source alone could be detrimental to an entire operation. Through my experience leading the Directorate of Military Intelligence for the Israel Defense Forces, I learned that it is almost impossible to find a single piece of information that will shed full light on the scene, thus, you simply cannot put all your security eggs in one basket. Creating a clear, trustworthy picture of the security landscape requires input from a vast array of sources. This will include signal intelligence, cyber intelligence, and visual intelligence – not only from satellites, but including surveillance balloons and drones, ground reconnaissance, human intelligence, interrogations and more. Alone, any of these sources could lead to a premature or impetuous decision of the military or federal government. However, combining input from these sources paints a clear picture of the […]

With the issue of national security at the front of everyone’s mind, utility companies and their suppliers, not to mention Government ministers and advisors, have never been more aware of the importance of keeping the nation’s water supply and its critical national infrastructure and equipment secure. The Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) has advised public sector organisations which own parts of the Critical National Infrastructure, on design improvements to protect them from the effects of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CRBN) agents. And measures have been taken by all of our water companies to safeguard against chemical and physical attack. All water utilities new build sites will be obliged to meet the current Government directives but, of course, the far bigger challenges come from bringing existing, ageing sites up to date so they too meet these high standards. Sue Paton, Sales and Commercial Director of Morgan Marine, who design, engineer and manufacture security housings from their Carmarthenshire HQ, alongside a wide range of LPCB accredited product such as doors, access covers, barsets and cages for the utilities industries, says: “Much work has been done across Britain to bring our water infrastructure up to date. “But of course […]

ProxTech International, developer of NFC/RFID read-/write systems, is offering two new RFID COMPACT modules, based on LEGIC and NXP reader chips. LEGIC and MIFARE DESFire modules with USB interface Modern applications often require versatile modules for integration in a wide range of terminals and machines. This integration is commonly done via standard communication methods such as USB or serial RS23 TTL or RS485 interfaces. Mostly also space is a very important criterium, thus making dimensions of the integration module very important. To meet these modern requirements, extremely small compact modules have been developed for LEGIC, MIFARE and MIFARE DESFire applications with integrated USB interface. The RFID LEGIC module and the RFID Mifare module are pin-compatible, i.e. the modules are interchangeable one-to-one, offering significant advantages of flexibility of integration of RFID. During the development, special goals were set for compact dimensions (31 x 26 x 4 mm) and technical integration flexibility (3.3 V DC to 5,0V DC). For customizations, 4 digital I/O ports are optionally available for the user. The simple command structure makes it possible to integrate the module in a wide range of applications without much effort. The data transfer is done standard via USB (HID mode, keyboard emulation) […]

A rubbish dumper caught at a fly-tipping trouble spot was left with an £854 bill and told to use the council-run recycling centre which is ‘a lot cheaper’. Mahroof Madasar appeared in Nottingham Magistrates Court after he was been spotted on CCTV dumping waste at a car park Colwick Crossings. The 33-year-old, of Port Arthur Road, Sneinton, told the court he is now aware of the recycling centre on Redfield Road in Lenton. Presiding magistrate Stephen Dowling said: “We are proud of our city. This sort of thing is an awful problem and the city of Nottingham has its share of it. You have caused it this time.” The JP then asked him: “Are you aware of the household recycling site on Redfield Road? It’s a lot cheaper.” Madasar replied: “Definitely. I knew nothing at the time and have now found it is available.” He was fined £100 but must also pay Nottingham City Council’s costs of £734 plus a £20 government surcharge. The hearing was told that four bags of household rubbish were left in a corner of the car park at 10.32pm on April 3, 2016. Tamazin Wilson, prosecuting, said: “It is a fly tipping hotspot and the […]

Weary of Relentless Bad News Stories? British Manufacturing Has the Antidote. Martyn Ingram is the Group Director of Morgan GRP, the parent company of Morgan Marine and Envico Engineering. Morgan Marine is a leading manufacturer of security housings, enclosures and products designed to protect Critical National Infrastructure in the utilities, construction, nuclear, rail and renewables sectors – as a group of companies, between 80 and 90 percent of the power distributed in mainland UK has passed through one of their enclosures. Here, Martyn talks about the dangers of Britain talking itself into a slump – and how the public perception of the UK’s output, buoyancy and stability would be far more positive, and more accurate, if they could be persuaded to tune into the legion of good news stories unfolding within manufacturing and engineering. If you are in the habit of spending time on social media, tuning in to the evening news, or reading a national newspaper, you might be forgiven for thinking Britain’s economy, productivity and prospects are on their last legs. While we are living in challenging times, has there ever been an era when it has been a simple task to balance the British economy, the needs of a growing and diverse populace, and the many and various […]

Secure Mobile Phones – an affordable solution. We are often asked to advise clients on which is the best system to ensure secure communications when using their mobile or desk based telephones. The selection is difficult, and there are as many pitfalls as there are choices. Many options are simply not as secure as they claim to be, others skirt round the security issues present when using third party servers for traffic routing and key identification. You are unlikely to be told that the ‘secure voice’ app you downloaded is only really as secure as the device onto which it is loaded, and as if this is not enough, the price is often the key decider, with many of the better solutions being simply too expensive. But that has now changed. In association with 5Pro Software, G6 has launched the LYNX7 secure voice service. This system is fully secure using the latest in encryption and protection techniques. We guarantee never to use 3rd party servers for any part of the call set-up or routing and all LYNX7 devices are fully hardened to ensure that Trojans, Viruses and Spyware simply cannot find their way onto the terminal. The LYNX7 Subscription Service […]

Protecting Historical and Newer Buildings in the Age of Terrorism. The beautiful Gulfo di Napoli (Bay of Naples) sets the stage for a discussion on Using Building Design to Reduce the Effects of Terrorist Attack. Architects, engineers, facility managers, planners and security professionals, from government agencies and the private sector, meet to discuss proven principles for the high occupancy built-up environment. They will share their lessons learned. Our case study review will be of the European Simulation and Validation Center (ESVC) in Ede, The Netherlands. The study involved reducing the risk of active shooter threats to students and staff. Naples, with all of its historically important buildings is the perfect backdrop as we discuss preserving the cultural identity of facilities while at the same time incorporating modern-day crime prevention and antiterrorism guidelines. “Unless community leaders have a strategic plan, their efforts in meeting the ever increasing needs of the urban environment will become a patch-work of ideas and risk reduction will be marginal, at best. As urban centers of the future increase in population so will the demand for functionality on a multitude of levels. This workshop addresses the security quotient of the Smart Cities formula”, says Doug Haines, course […]

July 2017, Mayflex uncovers fraudulent activities whereby the fraudsters are pretending to work for accredited customers and have ordered goods to be shipped directly to bogus ‘end user’ sites. In a number of separate instances, the fraudsters have targeted accredited Paxton partners, they’ve called the Mayflex sales team saying that they are from the company, asked for quotes for various Paxton product codes and having created ‘copycat’ email addresses, to look very similar to those of the individual companies in question, to fool our teams into thinking that when the orders were placed that they were legitimate. The names of the individuals to look out for in these examples are Mike Andrews, Marvin Taylor and Ian Green – we have passed the information and details across to the police who are now pursuing this matter further.

The company was founded on 17th March 1917 as Mayall & Co as a distributor of Swan Kettles by John William Mayall and stayed in the family for three generations. The Mayflex brand name was introduced in 1985 and became the name of the company shortly afterwards. Around this time the company entered the communication cables market launching a range of coax, voice and RS232 cables. This new venture rapidly gathered momentum and led to the ongoing development of network cabling in the form of copper twisted pair and fibre optic cables as they grew in popularity. In January 1997, Mayflex introduced the Excel brand, a move which in just 20 years has revolutionalised the structured cabling and rack market, setting new standards in product choice, performance, support and availability, underpinned by a ‘fair price’ strategy. Since its launch Excel has grown to become an award winning brand sold in over 70 countries and holds the number 1 position in the UK, based on the volume sold. Over the years Mayflex has forged many successful relationships with some of the industry’s […]

How do you communicate? Communications is vital to our everyday lives, and there are so many ways in which we do it: voice, text, email, tweets, pokes, VIBER, Tikl, WhatsApp, BBM the list is virtually endless.  So much do we take the ability to communicate for granted, that it is often overlooked in the planning phase of operations where, in reality, it should take centre stage. Take the military scenario as an example.  When an operation begins, the very first thing that will be established is a communications link between the front line and those directing operations.  Without it the commanders can neither issue instructions to their forces, nor receive intelligence feedback; without communications they are deaf, dumb, blind and vulnerable and this is true for every other situation from the Boardroom to the Ops Room. When planning an operation in a hostile environment communications takes priority because we expect to have to provide it for ourselves, and this mind-set should be extended to any environment friendly or hostile: sadly that doesn’t always happen and many an operation in a sleepy, leafy suburb has floundered for this very reason. So what are some of the things we should consider from […]

London, England (June 21, 2016) – Purple Parking, the largest off airport car park operator in the UK, has improved operations and increased efficiency at London’s Heathrow Airport using Morse Watchmans’ KeyWatcher key management system. With their 38 distinctive purple buses, numerous company cars and 110 drivers on site at the five-terminal airport, Purple Parking uses their automated KeyWatcher system to control vehicle usage and improve driver accountability. The KeyWatcher system is used to regulate, store and track keys for vehicles used to transport customers between the various Purple Parking facilities and the airport. Keys are kept in the tamper-proof cabinet when not in use, and only pre-programmed authorized users can access a vehicle key during their working hours. All access activity is automatically recorded, allowing management to view live or recorded data showing which keys are out and with whom, and when the keys were returned or are scheduled to be returned. To help ensure operational control, if a key is returned late, an alert is sent to management via email or SMS text. “The KeyWatcher thoroughly suits our purpose at the airport,” says Jim Betchley, Transportation Manager at Purple Parking. “Among other features, the tracking and reporting functions […]
