“Fort Worth is welcoming ESX with open arms and has made a huge effort to understand the ESX event and create an overall experience exhibitors and attendees will highly value, stated Pam Petrow, president of CSAA.” Echoed Marshall Marinace, president of ESA, “We are very excited to bring this event to Fort Worth and the initial feedback has been terrific.”

The theme for ESX 2016 is Explore, Expand, Exchange and Evolve,” which affirms its direction on delivering vibrant networking events, an interactive peer‐to‐peer educational program, inspirational and business focused keynotes and a robust exhibit hall with relevant technology and solutions for dealers, integrators and monitoring companies.

Business owners, senior level executives and functional managers will hear the latest trends and opportunities in the electronic security and life safety industry, increasing their knowledge and business acumen. ESX 2016 will give decision makers and influencers who are passionate about the business of electronic security and life safety an opportunity to reinvigorate and reinvent their companies for the future.

“We are thrilled to be moving ESX to Fort Worth in 2016”, says George De Marco, ESX chairman. “The new destination confirms our commitment to the ESX brand – easy access, friendly venue and a vibrant downtown contribute to a great location strategy, providing a dynamic convergence of security and life safety professionals who want to elevate their companies to the next level.”

    I have been looking forward to this year’s GSX show in New Orleans, the Cresent City, or if you prefer The Big Easy. It seems like quite a while since we’ve been here.

    Security Operations Centers (SOC) were once defined by rows of static monitors, each displaying a single feed with operators quietly watching for issues. That model has become obsolete.

    A8V MIND

    Hexagon’s Geosystems presents a portable version of its Accur8vision detection system. A rugged all-in-one solution, the A8V MIND (Mobile Intrusion Detection) is designed to provide flexible protection of critical outdoor infrastructure and objects. Hexagon’s Accur8vision is a volumetric detection system that employs LiDAR technology to safeguard entire areas. Whenever it detects movement in a specified zone, it automatically differentiates a threat from a nonthreat, and immediately notifies security staff if necessary. Person detection is carried out within a radius of 80 meters from this device. Connected remotely via a portable computer device, it enables remote surveillance and does not depend on security staff patrolling the area.
