Innovative Wireless Technologies (IWT) announced the next generation of its Coyote UGS Unattended Ground Sensor system for Border Security, Infrastructure protection and Force protection.
In a release, IWT said the first generation Coyote UGS established a new level of performance for unattended sensors by enabling economical surveillance of rugged, remote terrain with its mesh networking technology and low power consumption sensing.
"We have created a game changing monitoring and security solution for border agents based on our expertise in large scale, low power wireless mesh sensor networks," says Eric Hansen, IWT CEO. The Coyote UGSTM outperforms legacy systems with:
-Operational capabilities to monitor and secure the 'tough to reach' holes in the border
-Self forming/self healing mesh network that is easy to deploy, requiring no advance network planning
-Lowest cost per mile deployment of sensor systems
-Low power design with 4x improvement in operating life to reduce maintenance costs
-New and better sensing algorithms to detect ever changing threats
-Network scalability and remote programming that virtually eliminates the need for traditional network infrastructure
"With the critical border situation, demands on CPB agents are tremendous, so any system that reduces the burden on the agent while enhancing security is compelling," according to John Gargasz, IWT Director of Business Development. As one Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agent put it, "This system will change the way we do our job."
Innovative Wireless Technologies (IWT) is a supplier of wireless ad hoc mesh radios, integrated systems, and wireless design engineering services.
