512 COE Group, the advanced video surveillance specialist, has been acquired by 3558 Digital Barriers, its third acquisition this year and the next step in its strategy to build a leading mid-market business in the homeland security and defence sectors. The company says the acquisition of COE will bring world-class expertise and innovative technologies in the transmission and management of video over IP, fibre and hybrid video networks.

COE has successfully delivered its advanced surveillance solutions into over 10,000 sites worldwide, including installations for Seoul’s Metropolitan Subway, 1841 UK Highways Agency, Port of Singapore, London Heathrow Airport and the BBC. The extensive client base that COE brings aligns closely with the Digital Barriers focus on protecting complex, high-value targets, encompassing government, transport, energy, utilities and other high-profile assets and locations.

According to Tom Black, executive chairman of Digital Barriers, “This is an exciting acquisition for Digital Barriers, significantly enhancing our capabilities in complex surveillance and extending our reach into a number of international markets and sectors.”
