Case Study: RFID Secures Middle East Border Protection

By VUANCE

VUANCE, Ltd. accepted the project to provide state-of-the-art border security for an Outdoor Perimeter Protection customer in the Middle East.

The contract, in collaboration with one of VUANCE's integrator partners, LX Mobile Systems, LTD, includes a range of integrated, mobile, RFID-based security features based on VUANCE's proprietary FSK system. The contract is valued at $0.5M over three years.

The solution allows for monitoring of people and containers within an open-air controlled zone of approximately four square miles, separated into several identification areas. The solution includes an integrated mobile solution using VUANCE's long range active RFID technology (readers, initiators and tags) together with Psion Teklogix WAP terminals with Mifare passive RFID, all connected to a central software server provided by LX Mobile. The VUANCE FSK Active tags were designed to identify people and containers of goods and include anti-tampering capabilities to immediately alert about the removal of the tags. The system continuously monitors the position of the people and containers within the zones' identify regions, and alerts the central control room of any transgressions.
