G4S North America Buys Integrator Adesta

Security integrators with knowledge of IT and protecting of critical infrastructure are worth a lot today. In fact, G4S, the international security solutions group, believes that one integrator -- Adesta – is worth $66 million in an acquisition announced this morning, Nov. 17.

Ranked 15th of Top Systems Integrators by SDM Magazine, Adesta is U.S.-based and provides systems integration and project management services for integrated security systems and communication networks. The company focuses on electronic and physical security solutions, installations and upgrades for seaports, government facilities and other critical infrastructure, along with offering all types of networks for voice, data and video applications. The firm provides clients with complete integration services to ensure network compatibility and reliability. Adesta has over 20 years of experience in the deployment of fiber and wireless technologies for public safety communications, ITS applications, physical security and video surveillance, healthcare, education/distance learning and broadband communications networks often used to carry video sensor, access control and other security related data.

Keith Whitelock, president, G4S Technology North America said, "As a leading systems integrator in the design and operation of security systems and command and control centers for government and regulated sectors, the Adesta acquisition is an important strategic step to deliver advanced secure solutions combining G4S manpower (Wackenhut, for example) and technology to U.S. seaports, where Adesta has an impressive market penetration, and extend this to chemical/petrochemical site security and other critical infrastructure."
