a&s Adria podcast with Vigan Limani: How COIN Innovates Across the Region

In a fast-changing security landscape, adapting is no longer optional – it’s essential.In the latest episode of the a&s Adria podcast, we speak with Vigan Limani, CEO of COIN, a company operating primarily across the Balkans with a long-standing family tradition. Growing up within the business, Limani was involved from an early age, officially starting his career as a field technician at 18 and gradually progressing through different roles before taking over the company.

Today, COIN operates across a wide range of industries, including finance, construction, healthcare, and public institutions. Its activities are structured into three main segments: security systems such as safes, vaults, and locks; entrance systems with a focus on revolving and automated doors; and cash and payment systems, including ATMs, cash handling solutions, and related technologies.
Reflecting on the industry, Limani emphasizes how rapidly things are changing, noting that developments in recent years have been more significant than in previous decades. This pace requires companies to stay agile, adapt quickly, and sometimes move against established patterns.

Operating across different Balkan markets also brings specific challenges, from varying regulations to different client needs. One of the key issues, he points out, is that legislation often struggles to keep up with technological advancements, which can slow down progress across the industry. Through real-world examples, he also shares how the company approaches complex challenges – particularly in security – by focusing on effective, high-tech solutions rather than relying solely on traditional methods. Tune in to hear the full conversation and discover insights from a new generation of professionals shaping the security industry.

Pelco and Sectron enhance parking security at Sofia Airport Terminal 2

A new video surveillance system has been implemented at Sofia “Vasil Levski” Airport in the renovated multi-storey parking facility at Terminal 2, in a project delivered by Sectron and Motorola Solutions. The system is based on Pelco by Motorola Solutions cameras and is designed to protect infrastructure with high security requirements.

The solution uses an open platform, ONVIF standard, and advanced video analytics features. The surveillance system enables reliable monitoring of all 930 parking spaces while ensuring full coverage of the garage area. The technology is adapted for continuous operation in high-traffic environments typical of airport transport hubs. The goal of the implementation was to improve the safety of passengers and vehicles while enabling more efficient management of the facility.

The companies emphasized that security was integrated as part of the modernization process rather than added afterward. The project forms part of the broader modernization of one of Bulgaria’s most important transport hubs and contributes to a safer and more reliable environment for travelers.

Aikom: Wireless Network Achieves Fiber-Like Performance in Challenging Mountain Terrain

Italian operator Connetta has demonstrated that speeds comparable to fiber connectivity can be achieved using advanced wireless infrastructure, even in the demanding geography of the Apennine mountains. Active in three provinces and serving more than 3,500 customers, the company upgraded its network with support from Aikom Technology and solutions from Cambium Networks. Although FTTC and FTTH networks exist in the area, natural barriers and complex terrain made fiber deployment difficult, so the goal was to reach similar performance with faster implementation.

By introducing ePMP 3000 and Force 300 devices, the operator increased the number of users per sector and improved network stability, while the transition to the ePMP 4000 platform enabled speeds of up to 300 Mbps per user, comparable to fiber connections. The upgrade was carried out gradually, as the new radio units are compatible with existing CPE devices, allowing modernization without service interruption. The compact form factor also simplified installations, including those at hard-to-reach sites.

Users gained higher bandwidth, lower latency, and reliable operation even in adverse weather conditions, with centralized monitoring via the cnMaestro platform for configuration, monitoring, and remote maintenance. Company director Antonio Rosa noted that the operator can now compete with fiber networks even in areas where their deployment is challenging. The project also expanded the service portfolio through the Cambium Protection Pack, providing advanced firewall, SD-WAN, and network service management. The new architecture combines primary connectivity, wireless backup, business Wi-Fi, and cybersecurity protection within a single system, while the network continues to expand and legacy equipment is gradually being replaced.

Azitrend Announces Security Solutions for Energy Projects at Bucharest Exhibition

Azitrend has announced its participation in the international trade fair Green Energy Expo & Romenvirotec 2026, which will take place from March 3 to 5 at the Romexpo exhibition center in Bucharest.

Azitrend invites partners, system integrators, and investors in energy projects to visit booth 114 and learn more about solutions for protecting energy facilities.

 

Hikvision Terminals and Jantar Codeks Unified in Kamir Integration

Kamir has introduced a new HikvisionCodeks integration, developed in response to the growing demand for facial recognition–based authentication. The new solution connects the well-established Jantar Codeks software for time and attendance and access control with Hikvision terminals equipped with facial recognition technology. The integration delivers a modernized approach to user management, enabling faster and more efficient synchronization between software and devices.

The system supports three communication modes with terminals—local, via HikPartnerPro Cloud, and via HikConnectTeams Cloud—enhancing deployment flexibility. Cloud communication does not require port forwarding, which further improves security and simplifies installation. Users can choose from multiple authentication methods, including face, fingerprint, card, PIN, and QR code. The integration also allows the configuration of up to six status buttons according to user needs, as well as live viewing from the terminals.

Kamir notes that all users who already operate at least one Hikvision facial recognition terminal can request a demo license for both Jantar Codeks and the HikvisionCodeks integration. The company adds that technical support and solution demonstrations are available to all interested users through its official contact channels.
