ARGOS Vibration Sensors

By using a new state–of–the art technology Mira Telecom has developed a world-class vibration sensor, highly accurate and ultra-wide bandwidth capable. This sensor perceives the ground vibrations and sends the signal back to a data processing unit over an optical fiber. The data processing unit is able to identify the vibration pattern in order to classify it and send the information back to the system. The deployment of this type of sensors beyond the security perimeter of the CI provide early warning of any possible intrusion and helps to enhance the security and prevent threats.
