Motorola Solutions has partnered the Henry Ford Health Detroit Pistons Performance Center, the National Basketball Association’s largest practice facility in the launch of a key integrated security tech system combining video, access control and voice comms services.

Motorola Solutions said the offering was specifically designed to identify and resolve potential issues across the facility, which also houses the primary business headquarters for the Detroit Pistons basketball team.

“Instead of relying solely on physical barriers, metal detectors and guards, the Detroit Pistons have demonstrated that the best security is the kind people don’t notice,” said Jehan Wickramasuriya, senior vice president, Security & Resilience Software, Motorola Solutions. “Their state-of-the-art security operations center acts as a hub for discretely managing events so that community members, staff and players can stay focused on training and work. It protects without intimidating and responds without overreacting.” 

“We are just a few miles from downtown in the heart of Detroit’s New Center neighborhood, and on any given day, we have elite athletes training just floorboards away from people going to the health center or grabbing a bite to eat,” said Matt Grimm, senior director, Corporate Security, Detroit Pistons. “Our unified video and access helps my team maintain the highest levels of protection for players and staff without creating an atmosphere of a high-security fortress. “
