NJ Transit Implements NICE Digital Video Recording Solution in Nation's Largest Statewide Transportation System(email this article)

RA'ANANA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 15, 2003-- NICE Systems (Nasdaq:NICE - News) (Company Profile, Past Stories, Case Studies), a worldwide leader of multimedia recording solutions, applications and related professional services for business interaction management, announces its participation in the much anticipated opening of the new state-of-the-art Secaucus Transfer Station. New Jersey Transit selected the NiceVision® digital video and audio recording solution for the new station, which is in its entirety a $450 million project. The Secaucus transfer station opened for business Saturday, September 6th.

NiceVision will initially record from more than 200 cameras integrated with 16 digital video recorders to provide security throughout the passenger terminal. Future plans call for the deployment of NiceVision's intelligent video content analysis capabilities, which will enhance both business performance and resource allocation for rail and bus services. NiceVision currently operates in NJ Transit managed Newark's Penn Station, New York's Penn station, Maplewood, NJ and Orange, NJ.

The Secaucus Transfer Station has been the most complex construction project in NJ TRANSIT history. The station and supporting infrastructure are built above three active rail lines, including the electrified Northeast Corridor -- one of the busiest rail corridors in the world.

"As the nation's largest statewide public transportation system providing in excess of 750,000 daily trips on 240 bus routes, two light rail lines and 11 commuter rail lines, we are responsible for the efficient and safe transportation of millions of commuters. We will utilize the NiceVision system as an 'information asset' to monitor, manage and impart safety throughout the entire enterprise.

"The NiceVision system allows us to revolutionize the way we do business by providing information never before possible in areas involving security, scheduling and operations," said Michael K. Slack, Deputy Chief Information Officer, NJ Transit.

NICE solutions integrate with checkpoint X-ray and related equipment, access control and many other security systems to ensure prompt threat detection and identification.

"I am excited for NICE Systems to be a part of this landmark installation," says Doron Eidelman, President of NiceVision. "NJ Transit's Back to Basics Customer Service Initiative launched last April, is clearly a model for success and one we are proud to support in our home state of New Jersey."
