ClanTect Ltd. has launched the ClanTect MDT Mobile, a highly portable Human Presence Wireless Detection System, which has been specifically designed for mobile patrol units and vehicle checkpoints to provide a highly accurate, non-intrusive, roadside system for detecting the illegal presence of humans hiding within vehicles, trucks, trailers, and containers.
ClanTect’s systems are deployed within a wide range of organisations in the Border Security, Prisons, and Critical Infrastructure markets. Customers include organisations such as the UK Border Force and Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, and Her Majesty’s Prison Service in the UK. Tens of thousands of clandestine fugitives are detected by ClanTect systems each year, with hundreds of lives being saved.
With the launch of their 2nd generation mobile systems, ClanTect provides smaller, more compact devices that are fully wireless; making them easy to deploy in ad-hoc outdoor roadside locations even in windy weather conditions.
The MDT Mobile system comprises; a ruggedised tablet with a detachable keyboard, four wireless sensors, and crucially, a proprietary wind sensor, which together with ClanTect’s unique signal processing software can remove the effect of the wind.
The system is very quick to set up and the search is fully automated and takes only 60 seconds for each vehicle. The wireless sensors are supplied with magnetic mounts making them easy to attach to different vehicle types. The RF wireless sensors have a 60m LOS range and are powered by 3 rechargeable 1.2V AAA batteries.
CEO, Professor Steve Daley, “The MDT Mobile has been designed as a direct response to customer requirements. Stopping traffickers is no longer just the responsibility of border officials, and no longer happens just at fixed border crossing points.” “Many law enforcement agencies are now involved, and having a fully portable, fast, accurate wireless system that can operate on busy roadsides is crucial in the fight against this modern-day slavery.”
