Soflinx corporation introduces Soflinx Mobile Defender - New Products/New Services - Brief Article

Mobile Internet, The, Jan, 2004

Soflinx Corporation, a provider of sophisticated wireless networks and security systems, and the developers of Soflinx Defender, announced the availability of Soflinx Mobile Defender, a portable wireless sensor network for detecting explosive, nuclear, radiological, and chemical warfare agents at "off-site" locations. Using the proven capabilities of Soflinx' Defender enterprise security system, as well the company's proprietary operating system for wireless sensor networks, Mobile Defender provides additional levels of detection and security at locations where fixed sensors are not feasible.

Mobile Defender consists of an array of independent sensors that can be easily placed and removed from any strategic location to provide additional levels of security. This would include building access points, rooftops, windows, or any other vulnerable or high-risk area. Each sensor is self contained in a small, tamper resistant brief case, which houses all the sensory and electrical components, as well as an independent power supply, and wireless radio.

The system is managed through a mobile control console (laptop), which provides real-time monitoring of sensory data and management of the overall network. Mobile Defender can accommodate up to 50 sensors, and can easily interface with any existing monitoring and reporting systems in use at a given location.

Like all Soflinx products, Mobile Defender uses, at its core, the Soflinx proprietary Datalinx technology. Datalinx is a modular and scalable operating system for wireless sensor networks that creates an intelligent, extensible network from an unlimited number and type of sensors. Datalinx creates a "smart" network by defining and implementing roles and procedures designed specifically for each network component. In addition, Datalinx provides an adaptable and scalable network architecture, allowing for easy integration of additional network components.
