ELTA North America is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the master panel and cables. They are the sole proprietary source for the technical data and drawings. The components are customized items by ELTA North America for the Customs Border Protection (CBP) IFT program. Their unique exterior and internal design make it compatible and functional with the existing configuration for the Integrated Fixed Tower (IFT) system along the Southern border.
