BGW Technologies provides a first for Australian security professionals

BGW Technologies has found the solution to Australia’s growing need for reliable, high-performing wireless infrastructures, and is now providing scalable wireless mesh solutions which reduce the time and cost associated with traditional cable installation.

Thanks to a new strategic partnership with Firetide, the leading provider of high-performance wireless infrastructure mesh networks, BGW Technologies can now provide Australia with reliable, high-performing indoor and outdoor wireless infrastructures, for video surveillance, industrial, utility and transportation networks, by way of Firetide’s wireless mesh products.

Joshua Simmons, BGW Technologies’ General Manager of NSW, the ACT and SA, said he was excited to offer this exclusive product to Australian security professionals as it will provide maximum equipment utilisation while minimising the expense and installation effort of security systems.

"We are seeing an explosion in the demand for scalable wireless mesh solutions among municipalities, public safety and industrial markets," said Simmons.

"The collaboration with Firetide is of strategic importance to us as we address customer needs for reliable, high-performance wireless technology that can be quickly and cost effectively deployed in extremely harsh environments.”

Firetide’s wireless mesh network can remove most, if not all, of the issues associated with wiring difficult locations, as the product eliminates the need to trench for fibre between locations.

By providing a wireless network backbone, Firetide mesh networks enable cameras to be installed quickly and cost effectively. This makes Firetide’s wireless mesh networks a suitable solution for temporary venues requiring video surveillance, such as concerts, festivals and sporting events.

Firetide’s infrastructure mesh networks can operate in the 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz and 5 GHz spectrums and enable multiple network services and standard ethernet devices to operate virtually anywhere over a high-speed wireless infrastructure.

The entire Firetide product line is now available to BGW Technologies customers.
