PureTech Systems, a Record Six ‘ASTORS’ Award Winner in the 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, is pleased to announce its PureActiv Rapid Deploy Virtual Perimeter System has been Recognized for Best Mobile Technology Solution.

Scalable to small and large perimeters, the new Rapid Deploy Virtual Perimeter Unit (RDVPU) provides a temporary or permanent virtual perimeter protection system that requires very little deployment time.

The smart and effective protection system uses a wireless connection to transmit alarms and video to a co-located or remote command and control center.

The RDVPU is equipped with PureTech’s patented AI and geospatially boosted video analytics, PureActiv, which provides among the highest probability of detection while maintaining near-zero nuisance alarms.

The system is enhanced with the use of radar, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, and optional loud hailers and light deterrents.

In addition, the RDVPU is solar-powered, needing little to no backup fuel, thus providing an environmentally friendly protection system that does not require ground penetration and has no impact on local wildlife.

The Rapid Deploy Virtual Perimeter System enables airports, borders, military bases, seaports, and utilities to quickly deploy a temporary or permanent high fidelity virtual perimeter system at substantially less cost and time than a hard-wired solution.

The PureActiv Rapid Deploy Virtual Perimeter System provides the same best-in-class level of perimeter intrusion detection, auto-verification, and automated deterrence as a hard-wired solution.

With the New PureActiv Rapid Deploy Virtual Perimeter System, security and facility managers can now secure their perimeters quickly without planning and executing a large construction project.

“Hard-wired perimeter protection systems can take upwards of two years to install and require significantly larger budgets,” explains Larry Bowe, Jr., Founder and President of PureTech Systems.

“PureTech’s goal was to provide superior perimeter protection that could be installed in less time and cost.”

“The infrastructure costs of deploying an RDVPU are 50% less than a hard-wired solution and can be installed in a fraction of the time while providing the same best-in-class level of perimeter intrusion detection, auto-verification, and automated deterrence.”
