Aviation & Transportation Security
Enhanced Protection and Compliance
Aviation and Transportation facilities – from Class I airports to smaller regional and private airports – are faced with an array of distinct security challenges and regulatory requirements. They must provide the traveling public with a safe and secure experience while ensuring a welcoming, comfortable environment that can accommodate the movement of large numbers of people.
LenelS2 solutions provide airport security while meeting the necessary aviation compliance mandates. Our access control systems feature over 200 integrations through the OpenAccess Alliance Program (OAAP) and an open API, ensuring any building area, such as a security identification display area (SIDA) or system, such as a criminal history record checks (CHRC), can be centrally managed. And our video management systems help provide building-wide surveillance to enhance situational awareness.

LenelS2 solutions unify video surveillance and management to provide enhanced situational awareness in your buildings. We empower your organization to stay on top of the latest events and provide quick responses, allowing for live and recorded video to be accessed from an app or web browser anywhere at any time.
Mobile Credentials
Lost keycards and badges can pose an increased security risk. If an employee drops their badge or loses it, unauthorized personnel can gain access to disclosed areas. Mobile credential solutions add an additional layer of security with pin codes, fingerprint, or face ID to unlock the phone in order for the mobile credential to be user.
