Physical attacks on U.S. utility substations, such as copper theft and sabotage, have cost up to $1 million per incident and caused multi-day outages for tens of thousands of customers-revealing significant vulnerabilities to insider threats in the utilities and energy sectors *
Protecting Critical Infrastructure
Critical infrastructure facilities - from power plants and oil refineries to water treatment and telecommunications centers - demand uncompromising security. Smarter Security's Fastlane Turnstiles and Door Detective products provide layered protection to protect our nation's most vital assets.
LET'S CONNECTIntelligent Protection for Mission-Critical Facilities
Critical infrastructure facilities are prime targets for threats from unauthorized access to coordinated attacks. Smarter Security's solutions deliver intelligent protection for high-security environments while maintaining operational efficiency. Discover how our industry-leading capabilities transform security outcomes:
Utilities
Power & Water Facilities
Power and water utility facilities require ironclad security to prevent service disruptions that could affect millions of customers.
Key Challenges:
- Multiple remote access points requiring continuous monitoring
- Critical control rooms needing enhanced protection
- Balancing historical building preservation with modern security
Fastlane Glassgate 400 delivers superior breach prevention with barriers up to 6 feet tall and optional locking brakes that withstand 300N of force—ensuring maximum security for critical areas. Door Detective Plus offers PoE monitoring for remote substations while Fastlane Connect™ enables centralized security monitoring across widespread utility infrastructure.
“The impact of moving to tall-glass barriers significantly transformed the PG&E security posture. Glass gates could no longer be physically pushed open as a brake stop now prevents that method of unauthorized access.”
– PG&E Security Team, San Francisco Headquarters
Oil & Gas
Refineries & Processing Plants
Petroleum processing facilities face unique security concerns due to hazardous materials and critical production processes.
Key Challenges:
- Large perimeters with multiple entry points requiring controlled access
- Need to segregate different security zones within facilities
- Harsh environments requiring durable security equipment
The Fastlane Glassgate 400 Plus accommodates wider lanes (up to 47″) with Sidegate Detection® technology to prevent side-by-side collusion—ideal for personnel carrying equipment. For control rooms and sensitive areas, Fastlane Interlock offers 70.9″ barrier heights with tailgate detection as close as 1/4″ apart. Our Locking Brake Option enables barriers to withstand 300N of force while still allowing emergency egress.
Telecommunications
Network Facilities & Switching Centers
Telecommunications infrastructure must maintain service reliability while protecting mission-critical equipment from unauthorized access.
Key Challenges:
- Securing critical network switching centers and transmission equipment
- Differentiating access levels between maintenance staff and engineers
- Managing 24/7 operations with minimal disruption
Door Detective Classic monitors access to switching rooms with adjustable beams configured to specific doorway dimensions. For main entrances, the new Fastlane Glassgate 250 Plus provides bi-directional dual-glass barriers with space for authentication technologies, while Fastlane Compact‘s minimal 18-inch footprint enables monitoring traffic flow without disrupting technical personnel movement.
Full-Height Turnstiles for Maximum Control
When critical infrastructure facilities require maximum perimeter protection, our full-height turnstiles provide an imposing physical barrier.
