MachineTalker, Inc., developer of wireless mesh networking security systems, has taken delivery of its new Ultra Wideband accessory, a wireless Intrusion Detector produced by Wideband Detection Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company. This new device, referred to as the "GuardDog", is resistant to jamming, detection, and tampering. The units are small and easily camouflaged or hidden behind walls. They can be scattered in a manner to build an electronic "fence" around a building, an oil well, or along a perimeter to create a protected area.
The GuardDog will be integrated into a MachineTalker wireless node to provide remote security protection of confined spaces and open areas.
This is dramatic step forward in the company's product offerings. The GuardDog can be used to detect the slightest movement that takes place within its programmable range. When combined with a MachineTalker, this detector will become part of a "community" of intelligent network nodes that can discern, record and report any change in a protected area.
Roland F. Bryan, MTKN's CEO, said, "Our new GuardDog constantly monitors for intrusion or movement and. when coupled with our Talkers, will send results to other networked units or to a satellite or the Internet or into a cellular phone system. A MachineTalker placed inside a shipping container provides the best way to identify, protect and track a shipment because it is a programmable intelligent device. Our Talkers record events, operate sensors and report on Contents, Source, Destination, Ownership, Special Handling Procedures, Routing, Time Loaded, Time Sealed, and any other downloaded information."
The Company expects to deploy this high performance detector with its radiated UWB signal in harsh propagation environments where even the most advanced commercial sensors face difficulty. This will include heavily cluttered facilities found in dense urban areas or indoors with metallic and concrete obstacles like warehouses and, as planned, inside cargo containers.
