Inovonics, a provider of wireless sensor networks for commercial and life safety applications, together with Optex, a supplier of outdoor perimeter security, continue to gain traction in the security market with the implementation of a wireless security system for a water treatment facility in Bastrop, Texas. The facility is owned by Aqua Water Supply, a non-profit water provider.
This wireless perimeter security installation demonstrates continued success of the combined Inovonics and Optex offering. In addition to the Aqua Water Supply implementation, Inovonics and Optex announced how Shumate Constructors and Albuquerque's armed response team are using the system to protect the property and assets of educational facilities throughout the state of New Mexico. The companies partnered to embed Inovonics' radio frequency (RF) module transmitter into Optex PIR and photoelectric detector product lines.
For the Aqua Water Supply installation, Turnkey Security integrated Inovonics RF module transmitters with the Optex outdoor motion detectors for comprehensive and real-time perimeter protection. The combined Optex and Inovonics perimeter protection system provides around-the-clock perimeter monitoring to prevent theft, vandalism and crime in commercial and industrial settings. Additionally, Inovonics transmitters provide tank-hatch monitoring to stop potential unauthorized access to water storage tanks.
“When Inovonics asked Turnkey Security to participate as the installer in the Bastrop facility bid, we jumped on board,” said Richard Martinez, President of Turnkey Security. “The integrated solution of Optex and Inovonics is an ideal perimeter security solution and trumps other options, such as a hard-wired system, because of its reliability and flexibility. The combined solution of Optex and Inovonics has proven to excel in commercial and industrial settings like this. It has the ability to handle a variety of different environments with the same successful, failproof outcome.”
Aqua Water Supply was looking to improve the security system at its water treatment facility in Bastrop to avoid the expense and extra time associated with theft and vandalism. While researching the varying solutions for perimeter protection, it discovered Inovonics' universal transmitters and inquired about using the products to secure the tank hatches. Additionally, Aqua Water Supply was introduced to the integrated solution of Inovonics and Optex that provides a complete wireless secure perimeter around the water treatment facility and is incorporated into their existing system.
“We feel the wireless perimeter security solution is ideal because of the fast installation and reliable products that ensure a secure facility,” said Bill Loven, GM of Aqua Water Supply. “The seamless integration with our existing system made implementation very easy. We are confident that this top-notch security solution is the best match for protecting our water treatment plant.”
