LAS VEGAS – March 24, 2010 – The Physical Security Interoperability Alliance
(www.psialliance.org), a global consortium of physical security providers focused on promoting
the interoperability of IP-enabled devices, will host a series of lunch-and-learn events to educate
end users, integrators and security consultants on the benefits of IP standards.
PSIA’s Educational Seminars will be held in four cities throughout 2010: Chicago, Boston,
Dallas and the San Francisco Bay area. These free educational events provide an opportunity for
industry practitioners and installers to learn more about PSIA’s systems-based approach to
interoperability, which includes developing specifications for each specific technology segment.
In addition, attendees will learn how standards will help decrease development costs, ease
complex installations and build best-in-class solutions to best protect infrastructure, people and
intellectual property.
Speakers will include representatives from PSIA members, including some of today’s leading
manufacturers and systems integrators in the security industry, that will discuss advancements in
standard developments and why PSIA’s initiatives will help propel the adoption of IP-based
security technologies.
“We are excited to have the opportunity to show the benefits of industry standards to a broader
audience,” said David Bunzel, Executive Director, PSIA. “Educational outreach is a critical
component of our efforts and we believe that including every segment of the industry will only
make us more successful in our mission of promoting and building interoperable solutions.”
