Identifying deployment locations
Initial Stages
The first step in creating a remote intrusion detection network requires a geographic analysis of the infrastructure and/or remote area that requires protection. In order to maximize the sensor network, an analysis of the earth’s topology or building infrastructure is performed using advanced geospatial and radio frequency technology. Vortex Systems engineers create detailed schematics and deployment diagrams from high resolution radar data and satellite imagery in order to guarantee a quick and easy rollout of all our custom sensor networks. Every customer has unique requirements and our network engineers will work closely with you and your agency to ensure the best possible solution for your investment.

The Deployment Process
- Sales engineer meets with potential customer to identify area / infrastructure to be protected. Engineer captures details about the customer needs and identifies what sensor hardware is best suited for the task at each location. Engineer captures information about existing internal computer networks and hardware. Engineer captures information about customer work force and internal work flows.
- Network engineer uses high tech software tools to analyze the topology of geographic area or facility captured in step one to map out optimal physical deployment schematics and diagrams. Network engineer uses three dimensional line of site tools to ensure radio transmitters will be deployed in the best possible locations before rolling out the network to save time and money.
- Network engineer configures sensor hardware identified in step one so equipment is ready for deployment before it even ships saving time and money in the field.
- Network engineer pre-configures necessary software tools and services needed for tracking and responding to sensor signals. Network engineer pre-configures messaging system for system users.
- Network engineer travels to customer location and deploys hardware and software components.
- Network engineer conducts on-site testing and training of equipment and software. This provides your staff with the know-how to manage, track and respond to network intrusions.
- Technical support engineers monitor and support your network to ensure your system is always up and running.
- Maintenance engineer performs scheduled visits to conduct general system checks and upgrades as needed.
- Customer immediately benefits from investment by increasing asset protection to 24/7 without adding manpower. Customer increases productivity by re-assigning existing manpower to other activities and responds to intrusions when notified by sensor system.
