The sheer size of the population introduces complex challenges towards its maintenance and sustenance.

One such challenge is the security and safety of the public. Different parts of London have seen anywhere between 20 to 30 percent rise in criminal activity over the past year. The situation is direr in regions of higher historical crime rate such as Lambeth, Southwark and Newham, which have witnessed a 20 percent reduction in the police force. Continue reading…

Gate Automation for Added Security

Gate automation essentially provides easy electronic access to a property or residence, and the gate opens as the individual presses a button on their remote, or mobile phone. A GSM controlled gate automation system recognises the number of the caller, it rejects the call and instructs the gate or door to open or close.

It’s extremely clever technology and it ensures you get a good amount of security, while you do not have to exit your vehicle to manually open the gate. More and more people are opting for this security system and it’s something and whether you opt for a remote control or a GSM controller, you’ll be guaranteed a high level of security.

Gate automation secures your site or residence, and it’s perfect on large, small, heavy and lightweight gates.

Understanding Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM)

Advanced wireless communication we see these days makes it possible to send radio frequency signals over very long distances. Through Wireless communication, we can comfortably relay crucial information over hundreds of miles without the need of expensive infrastructure like installation of physical cables, which are prone to all kinds of damage either through vandalism or through extreme climate.

Wireless signal transmission on the other hand also suffers certain limitations. Engineers have come up with different ways to counter these limitations in order to make signal transmission and reception as flawless as possible. This has led to the development of different types of broadcasting techniques that seek to overcome the difficulties associated with wireless end-to-end signal distribution.

Understanding the Luggage Airport Security System

Most people will have had to stand in the nervous queue at an airport, waiting to place their hand luggage on the conveyor belt, but not many people know much about the system being used.

It’s an extremely clever security system that can scan around Scans up to 500 bags or bins per hour, giving security guards high quality images of the contents in the bag. It resolves any threats more easily, while it reduces the number of false alarms, because if they find something in a passenger’s bag, there’s a good chance it’s dangerous and has to be removed or dealt with by authorities.

In simple terms it’s a detection system but it uses Computed tomography, and this essentially is the same technology used in the medical industry, to diagnose human disease, and that just goes to show its sheer power. No matter how many layers your suitcase has, this system will provide clear images of the contents, whilst detecting threats within seconds of scanning.
