VixNet was another exhibitor at the Cape Town Estate Security Breakfast and CEO, Clinton Lemmer says the event went well for the company and was definitely worthwhile. VixNet specialises in supplying a proprietary, secure, bi-directional data communications network that can guarantee signal delivery using its own in-house designed radio transceivers.
The network uses the Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology and does not rely on any other format like GSM to communicate. Lemmer says the DSSS cannot be jammed and has four signal acknowledgement stages to ensure that all signals are delivered to their respective recipient/s. It is also designed to transmit out of difficult RF noisy areas and can penetrate through concrete, making it ideal to be used in estates, malls or CBDs.
The Lion transceiver was at the show and attracted interest from many estate managers. It can communicate via serial, Contact ID as well as the conventional relayed inputs, simultaneously or individually. It uses only 600 milliWatts on transmission and so will not unnecessarily drain standby batteries in power outages.
Lemmer says using VixNet’s communications offering allows estates to change service providers almost immediately as their security communications infrastructure is independent of any company or product range so they can’t be held hostage by a supplier. It also sports non-jamming technology that ensures well-funded syndicates can’t disrupt security communications with wireless jamming devices. Additionally, the bi-directional nature of the system ensures that each signal gets to its destination.
Currently VixNet has rolled out its infrastructure in the greater Gauteng and Cape Town areas, and it is constantly expanding. He says the roll out to other major areas such as Bloemfontein, Durban and Port Elizabeth is planned.
