Telef·nica has been chosen by LaFinca Grand Caf· as a technology partner to digitise its facilities. The shopping centre is committed to becoming a benchmark in the Premium Lifestyle thanks to the incorporation of advances in innovation and security to offer a better experience to its future customers.
The complex will be inaugurated in 2023 and will have 40,000 square metres, of which 10,000 will be dedicated to leisure and catering, with 100% of its surface area occupied. Its construction will involve a total investment of 40 million euros.
Telef·nica will be responsible for providing connectivity to the site with WiFi and 5G network deployed, and will provide comprehensive security and advanced management capabilities, identifying risks and acting effectively to achieve a safer and more efficient space through its subsidiary, Telef·nica Ingenier·a de Seguridad (TIS).
The comprehensive project offered by Telef·nica to LaFinca Grand Caf· includes a solution for the management of employees, temporary staff, visitors and vehicles from a single platform, based on biometrics, chip or magnetic identification cards, BIDI/QR code, turnstiles or vehicle barriers, which will guarantee entry to the facilities. It also incorporates a solution for the management of parking spaces through Smart parking, an intelligent parking system with number plate reading, vehicle guidance, signage of available/occupied spaces, all managed through an app, facilitating and speeding up user access to the gastronomic and leisure space.
The project also includes the Intelligent Video Surveillance solution, a system capable of predicting and preventing incidents by analysing individual behaviour. This technology is able to collect images and process data, facilitating decision-making, establishing efficient and automated security protocols and creating heat maps at the point of sale to find out which areas attract the most users.
Another of the technological solutions provided by Telef·nica for LaFinca Grand Caf· will be Intrusion Control, which, with the combination of volumetric, movement or magnetic contact sensors, will enable intelligent intrusion detection, making it possible to respond to real security breaches and ignore sources of false alarms. All this with remote control and automatic notifications in real time and from anywhere.
Fabi·n Blanco Ort·z, CEO and president of Telef·nica Ingenier·a de Seguridad, said: 'We are grateful for the trust that the management team of LaFinca Grand Caf· has placed in us, which consolidates us as a digital benchmark in the leadership of security and innovation projects in the retail sector'.

The deployment of the latest available technologies will facilitate human relations between the users of LaFinca Grand Caf· and will contribute to improving the management of resources so that the centre remains faithful to its commitment to sustainability with the environment'.
LaFinca Grand Caf· has opted for the latest technology, guaranteed with the maximum level of knowledge, quality and involvement offered by the Telef·nica Group. Telef·nica Ingenier·a de Seguridad is a pioneer in comprehensive technological security in Spain, positioning itself as a benchmark in the digital transformation process that companies are demanding.
