The company has secured an exclusive, global license from Rutgers University to develop a WiFi based perimeter security system, that aims to provide first responders with better situational awareness and detection capabilities to prevent attacks.
The use of this new technology on the extended outside perimeter of buildings such as stadiums, places of worship, schools, theatres and malls, can help to identify threats from concealed weapons before they enter a building and before any interaction with first line security.
“This type of device being available to first responders can make the difference between life and death for them and for the innocent people around them.” –Hon. Stockwell Day, PC Former Minister of Public Safety (Canada)
WiFi Technology
First Responders revolutionary system uses WiFi antennas, like the ones used for Internet connectivity, to produce a detection field that people walk through. This mesh will create an increased perimeter security area in which suspicious objects can be identified with security personnel being informed.
While many modern weapons detection technologies have resulted in noteworthy privacy and health concerns, this new Wi-Fi-based technology poses advantages. The WiFi system uses a lower frequency so there is no need for an FCC operating license to use it and there are no health implications. With a less complex regulatory path, the technology is anticipated to deploy to market faster.
Using this new WiFi technology as the solution offers the possibility for a more safe, effective and economic means to safeguard buildings and public spaces. Potentially saving the lives of many innocent people.
