Through acquisitions, PROTECH and its sister
companies now provide an end-to-end perimeter
security solution so that a layered approach can
be achieved through one supplier.
It also means that all technologies are working
together in harmony.
PROTECH’s G-FENCE is an accelerometer based technol-
ogy that detects shifts in the fence and can distinguish be-
tween cuts, climbs and lifts of the fence.
PROTECH’s parent company SORHEA, was a
pioneer manufacturer in perimeter security to of-
fer infrared and fence-mounted systems powered
by solar energy.
G-FENCE comes in both wired (relay output) and
solar-powered (with back-up battery) models, de-
pending on the application. Do not mistake this energy source as one limited
to sunlight.
Both can be installed and running in hours as op-
posed to days, cutting down on installation and
infrastructure costs (no need for wiring in the
3000 model). Solar energy is about light powering the sys-
tem, not simply the sun and these technologies
have long-time battery back-ups along with wired
options, and embedded heaters to address ex-
tremely cold environments.
GOVERNMENT APPLICATIONS OF PRO-
TECH TECHNOLOGIES
PROTECH’s technologies are at test sites and
being deployed at both Department of Energy
(DOE), and U.S. Air Force (USAF) facilities, along
with other commercial global applications in utili-
ties, nuclear, corrections, and military markets.
THE FUTURE OF PERIMETER SECURITY
PROTECH, through its parent organization, in-
vests 8% of turnover annually into R&D and ex-
citing new technologies are in the development
stages.
PROTECH’s solar-powered and wireless systems reduce the
need and cost of infrastructure intensive solutions.
As for technology development, radar and wire-
less technologies will continue to emerge and de-
velop, working in harmony and on the forefront,
PROTECH is one of few in this class.
Made in the USA, Piramid, a dual-technology
sensor has a 30-year+ history and is the only
product of its kind featuring two technologies in
one sensor (Doppler microwave and passive in-
frared).
This ensures an alarm will not happen unless
both technologies are tripped together.
