Xthings, a worldwide provider of AIoT and smart security solutions, has launched the X Tower, a solar-powered security tower capable of autonomous operation. It is specifically designed for rapid deployment in environments where traditional wired systems are either impractical or too expensive. Unveiled recently, the X Tower addresses common challenges in physical security, such as limited infrastructure, extended installation timelines, and coverage gaps in large-scale or remote sites.
The X Tower offers continuous monitoring, real-time detection, and immediate response capabilities. It functions as a self-contained platform, eliminating the need for trenching, wiring, or reliance on grid power.
“Many sites still rely on systems that are difficult to deploy and constrained by infrastructure,” stated Raj Sundar, Senior Director of Product Management at Xthings.
“X Tower is designed to provide immediate coverage with minimal setup, while enabling real-time detection and response at the edge.” The X Tower incorporates video surveillance, radar sensing, and on-device AI to support constant monitoring and real-time event analysis.
The system is equipped with four 4K UHD cameras for comprehensive 360-degree visibility. Integrated radar aids in motion detection and minimises blind spots in challenging environments.
On-device AI enables the real-time detection and classification of events like intrusions, perimeter breaches, and loitering. Additional features include configurable alerts, integrated lighting, and two-way communication to facilitate quick responses and deterrents. By processing data locally, the X Tower ensures lower latency and improved reliability even in low-bandwidth areas while enhancing privacy protection.
With an emphasis on reducing installation time and bypassing fixed infrastructure, the X Tower can be entirely solar-powered with integrated battery storage. It requires no trenching or wiring for off-grid deployment and supports 4G/LTE connectivity, with the option for wired Ethernet. The design allows for rapid deployment in mere days.
This agile security solution permits security teams, integrators, and channel partners to quickly establish coverage without the complexities and expenses of traditional wired installations.
Suitable for a wide range of applications, the X Tower is ideal for:
● Commercial & Industrial: logistics yards, construction sites, and business parks
● Education: campus perimeter monitoring and student safety
● Municipal & Public Safety: parks, transit areas, and public events
● Critical Infrastructure: utilities, energy sites, and telecom infrastructure
● Remote Locations: off-grid and infrastructure-limited sites
Beyond traditional surveillance, the X Tower’s additional features such as environmental monitoring and device charging enhance its utility. The system integrates seamlessly with the Xthings platform, including Xthings One and other access control, biometric, and video security solutions, facilitating centralised management across multiple locations.
