Southwest Microwave Announces Perimeter Defense Seminars

Southwest Microwave Announces Perimeter Defense SeminarsSouthwest Microwave, a global provider of high-security, outdoor, electronic, perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS) today announced the launch of its 2013 PERIMETER DEFENSE SEMINARS series. These sessions explore best practices for mitigating risk of unauthorized site access, vandalism, theft or destruction of critical infrastructure, and cover such topics as:

  • Principles of intrusion detection for today’s leading perimeter security technologies.
  • System design and configuration best practices for specific vertical market environments.
  • Critical detection performance measures for developing an optimal perimeter defense.
  • Total cost of perimeter detection system ownership as a key decision-making strategy.

The seminars, running from May to November, 2013 in 24 cities across the US and Canada, target facility end-user personnel, consultants, architects, engineers and systems integrators in the utilities, industrial, transportation and government/military sectors involved in the design, specification, procurement, installation and maintenance of perimeter security systems.

"PERIMETER DEFENSE workshops support those involved with intrusion detection in identifying critical considerations for an effective PIDS solution, relative to application-specific concerns and threats facing today's security-sensitive sectors," explained Bob Kirkaldie, Southwest Microwave's Director of Sales.

"We ask attendees to consider their current perimeter security strategy and its effectiveness in defending against attack, sabotage or harm to human life," Kirkaldie elaborated. "Today's technologically-advanced solutions provide robust measures to detect intrusions and prevent nuisance alarms. System elements - sensors, cameras, command and control applications - can network seamlessly and cost effectively, if done right. With more than 50,000 systems protecting critical infrastructure worldwide and over 40 years of perimeter detection experience, Southwest Microwave provides the toolkit for achieving these goals."

New Products

  • HD2055 Modular Barricade

    Delta Scientific’s electric HD2055 modular shallow foundation barricade is tested to ASTM M50/P1 with negative penetration from the vehicle upon impact. With a shallow foundation of only 24 inches, the HD2055 can be installed without worrying about buried power lines and other below grade obstructions. The modular make-up of the barrier also allows you to cover wider roadways by adding additional modules to the system. The HD2055 boasts an Emergency Fast Operation of 1.5 seconds giving the guard ample time to deploy under a high threat situation.

  • AC Nio

    AC Nio

    Aiphone, a leading international manufacturer of intercom, access control, and emergency communication products, has introduced the AC Nio, its access control management software, an important addition to its new line of access control solutions.

  • A8V MIND

    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.
