Southwest Microwave announces perimeter defence seminars in South Africa

1 October 2014 News & Events

Southwest Microwave, a leading global provider of high-security outdoor electronic perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS), has announced that it will host a series of Perimeter Defence Seminars in South Africa; one in Johannesburg (November 18, 2014) and a second in Cape Town (November 20, 2014). The sessions will explore best practices for mitigating risk of unauthorised site access, vandalism, theft or destruction of critical infrastructure, and cover these topics:

* Principles of intrusion detection for today’s leading perimeter security technologies.

* System design and configuration best practices for specific vertical market environments.

* Critical detection performance measures for developing an optimal perimeter defence.

* Total cost of perimeter detection system ownership as a key decision-making strategy.

The seminars will target systems integrators, architects, engineers, consultants and facility end-user personnel in the utilities, industrial, transportation and government/military sectors involved in the design, specification, procurement, installation and maintenance of perimeter security systems.

"Perimeter Defence workshops support those involved with intrusion detection in identifying critical considerations for an effective PIDS solution, relative to application-specific concerns and threats facing today's security-sensitive sectors," explained Bob Kirkaldie, Southwest Microwave's director of sales.

"We ask attendees to consider their current perimeter security strategy and its effectiveness in defending against attack, sabotage or harm to human life," Kirkaldie elaborated. "Today's technologically advanced solutions provide robust measures to detect intrusions and prevent nuisance alarms. System elements - sensors, cameras, command and control applications - can network seamlessly and cost effectively, if done right. With more than 70 000 systems protecting critical infrastructure worldwide and over 40 years of perimeter detection experience, Southwest Microwave provides the toolkit for achieving these goals."
