Volume 16 September 2017 Edition Q-Guard Next-Gen Perimeter Protection Powered by LiDAR Powered by Quanergy’s LiDAR sensor technology, Q-Guard is the most complete and intelligent 3D perimeter fencing and intrusion detection system. This security technology enables detection of human-sized objects in 3D and in real-time, over both small and large spaces. The system can track objects and report on size, orientation and speed. Quanergy, the leading provider of LiDAR sensors and smart sensing solutions, is de- lighted to announce their Q-Guard has been nominated to compete in the 2017 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program. Q-Guard is a next-generation security solution powered by LiDAR sensor technology. It is the most complete and intelligent 3D perime- ter fencing and intrusion detection system avail- able, enabling detection of humans, vehicles and other objects in 3D and in real-time, over both small and large spaces. Given the importance of critical infrastructure for a country’s security and prosperity against the backdrop of increasingly diverse physical and cyber threats from terrorist groups, the United Nations Security Council recently underlined the need for international collaboration – both do- mestically and across borders – to ensure their protection. What is LiDAR The LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) tech- nology at the helm of all Quanergy sensors uses Time-of-Flight (TOF) capability to measure the distance and reflectivity of objects and record the data as a reproducible three-dimensional point cloud with intensity information. Q-Guard Sensor Quanergy LiDAR sensors enable accurate high-resolution real-time 3D terrestrial and aerial mapping. 69
