New RFID Sensor Network to Monitor Bushfire & Wildfire Ignitions
Telepathx announced that it has developed a new low cost wireless RFID fire mapping sensor that will alert fire brigades within two minutes of spotting a bushfire ignition.
The tiny TPX-VRF sensor said James Eades, company CEO and founder will allow firelighters to respond to fires faster than ever, it is the first real time early warning fire mapping solution available and it will reduce the impact and spread of bushfires on communities.
Unlike geospatial satellite mapping systems that provide fire mapping data within 1-24 hours, or Ariel reconnaissance that rely on thermal imaging of hotspots this system is a terrestrial based system that can monitor and report ignitions with pinpoint accuracy.
