OptaSense Completes Successful Integration and Deployment of Linear Ground Detection Systems
September 29, 2020
PureTech Systems, a leading location-based AI video analytics software provider, announced today the successful integration and deployments of its PureActiv® software with the OptaSense Linear Ground Detection System (LGDS).
The LGDS provides perimeter intrusion detection using advanced distributed acoustic sensing technology capable of detecting, classifying and locating multiple threats in real time. When coupled with PureTech’s AI Deep Learning based software, the PureActiv® system verifies the detected threats as person, vehicle, animal, or other. This enables the integrated system with machine to machine validation to automatically verify real threats and dramatically reduce nuisance alarms and the time spent reacting to them.
Working in cooperation, OptaSense and PureTech have deployed perimeter protection at several high security power generation plants in the United States with plans to install additional sites by the end of 2020. OptaSense currently has over 20,000 miles of systems operational around the world, including on the U.S. southern border and international borders.
OptaSense’s Linear Ground Detection System is a real-time awareness edge device that detects and assesses activities and behaviors for perimeters, borders and infrastructure monitoring. The solution “listens” and “feels” acoustic and seismic energies near a fiber-optic cable, then, through advanced algorithms, alerts and classifies on human activities through software, via a user interface or integrated C2 platforms. “OptaSense leads the fiber-optic sensing industry in deployed miles, spanning multiple verticals and multiple applications. We have an open architecture that integrates with other layers of security and common operating pictures like PureActiv®, with our system often providing an early warning and tip and cue. We’re proud to integrate with industry leading technologies on critical national infrastructure projects,” said Jeff Williamson, OptaSense Managing Director.
“PureActiv® provides the highest probability of detection with the lowest nuisance alarm rates by forming a nearly impenetrable virtual wall. Successfully integrated into a multitude of camera, radar, and LDGS systems, our software provides cutting-edge perimeter security around the most critical facilities, infrastructure, and country borders ” said PureTech Systems President Larry Bowe. “ PureTech Systems software outperforms other analytics in detection range and accuracy of detection and classification, allowing security personnel to more efficiently and effectively identify threats.”
