Tensor technology would make music venues safe and secure

The provision of safety and security at summer music festivals – or indeed any public indoor or outdoor event – is paramount. For example, the Glastonbury Festival which finished last weekend, had just one reported crime per 440 people. Thefts from tents, 230, numbered the vast majority of crimes; and 117 people were arrested during the festival. Most were dealt with at the police's temporary custody unit at the Bath and West Showground. The policing approach of officers engaging with the public paid off.

The softly, softly approach plus the technical know-how of Tensor plc can be a winning security combination. Our comprehensive array of Access Control and Time and Attendance devices will usher through venue users and customers in the fastest possible way, using smart cards; while providing an effective and secure method of entry. Our contactless smart card readers are the access control solution for the 21st century, being about 15 times faster than fussier swipe cards. The system can be upgraded to biometric sub-dermal recognition to compliment the smart cards, providing a double layer of security; as well as integrated with a surveillance network.
