New jobs with Northern Ireland fence firm project | |
(35 minutes later) | |
A company from Northern Ireland is to create 10 new jobs as part of a project to develop a new wireless fence system. | |
MicroSense Solutions Ltd is investing £580,000 in the research and creation of perimeter security. | |
They are looking at a system involving a microwave barrier - to create an invisible, intruder detection zone. | |
It would be installed beside a conventional fence and could work alongside CCTV to transmit pictures from the fence to mobile devices. | |
Invest NI has offered £274,000 towards the project. | |
Invest NI Chief Executive Alastair Hamilton said: "This new approach to perimeter security has the potential for widespread global application in many markets, ranging from military, to airports, prisons, power plants, schools and business facilities. | Invest NI Chief Executive Alastair Hamilton said: "This new approach to perimeter security has the potential for widespread global application in many markets, ranging from military, to airports, prisons, power plants, schools and business facilities. |
