Tomographic Motion Detection (TMD) Technology Critical for Securing
High Value Assets, Dirty Environments and Aesthetically Sensitive Areas

LAS VEGAS (April 10, 2013) -- Today at the International Security Conference and Exposition in Las Vegas (ISC West), Xandem released the security industry’s most advanced install-ready technology for full coverage protection. Until now the company’s Tomographic Motion Detection (TMD) has gained wide acclaim for its innovation but has not been widely available for installation. Immediately available is the Xandem TMD Demo Kit complete with Nexus 7 visualization tablet that simplifies sales, installation and exploration of the new technology for $1495. Once a demo kit is purchased resellers are offered wholesale pricing structures based on reseller activity. Those interested in purchasing a TMD Demo Kit can contact us or purchase it online here.

Xandem’s Tomographic Motion Detection offers unbeatable full coverage security that detects movement through walls and solves industry-wide gaps in dirty and cluttered environments, high value asset protection and aesthetically sensitive areas. The technology was created by Dr. Joey Wilson and Dr. Neal Patwari at the University of Utah and offers a totally new way to detect movement through radio wave synergistic sensing. TMD is easily integrated into standard panel equipment for new and existing alarm, automation, and energy efficiency systems.

“Since the inception of the technology we have heard from leaders in the security industry who have been anxious to implement TMD for their customers who need full coverage protection,” said Xandem founder and CEO Dr. Joey Wilson. “These companies and many others are finding the new TMD Demo Kit to offer the solution for immediate installation in dirty environments, high value asset protection and places where security hardware must be hidden to overcome inside knowledge or simply for aesthetics.”

Resellers and security installation companies will find Xandem’s TMD Demo Kit to bridge the gap between concept and reality for their customers. As a sales tool the kit allows professionals to powerfully and quickly demonstrate Tomographic Motion Detection to potential customers onsite. Once the customer is ready for installation the kit offers installers instant feedback to ensure problems are corrected before permanent installation. And finally, the kit offers experimentation tools to test particular setups to ensure that the technology offers a permanent solution to a particular application.

TMD technology uses wireless networks that penetrate through solid materials making the system successful even when the devices are placed behind walls, furniture, and other obstructions. It is unlike traditional microwave sensors in that the sensing does not depend on radio wave reflections. The tomographic sensing comes from communicating nodes in a mesh network that sense disruption to the waves as they pass through a defined area.

“The hidden and detect-through-walls aspects of this technology make TMD the right solution for many hard to secure areas,” says Wilson. “In security systems, an intruder cannot scope vulnerabilities at a target site since the devices are inside walls or other enclosures. In addition, those with inside knowledge cannot beat the system because of the multiple-node sensing is foolproof. Furthermore, since the system penetrates solid objects, the entire floor plan or area can be covered without gaps. In building automation and energy efficiency applications, Xandem’s system is much more aesthetically pleasing than traditional motion sensors.

Wilson also believes the technology can be used in non-traditional ways. “The uses of this technology are endless. Since our system can quantify motion, our systems can detect the difference between a single intruder and a crowd of people. When parents leave their kids at home, they can be notified if a party is occurring. This is just one example of how Xandem is enabling powerful new applications.”

Xandem is excited to be an exhibitor at the International Security Conference and Exposition (ISC West) in Las Vegas on April 10-12, 2013. Please stop by booth 2041 and let us get to know you!

Xandem’s booth will provide a continuous live demonstration of TMD, our cutting-edge motion sensing technology. The demo will feature:

Through-Wall: TMD sees through walls and obstructions

Complete Coverage: TMD senses motion over entire areas, not just perimeters or trip lines.

Hidden: TMD remains completely invisible from view and can be embedded inside walls, behind furniture or inside opaque enclosures.

Undefeatable: TMD cannot be blocked or masked.

Immune: TMD is not triggered by temperature, light, small movements, insects, dust, and falling debris.

Plug and Play: TMD is easily integrated with standard panel equipment through normally-closed dry contacts.

(KUTV) The point of a security system is to keep crooks away, but despite the latest technology no system seems to be 100% foolproof. However, one Utah entrepreneur disagrees.

Xandem is proud to announce that Peak Alarm Company is now offering installation and servicing of Xandem TMD as an official reseller.

From Inc. Magazine:

"You won't find apps or Angry Birds here. Check out five ambitious companies pursuing big, bold ideas.

The Idea: The typical motion detector with infrared sensors has weaknesses: It must be cleaned, it’s sensitive to temperature changes and dust, and it doesn’t work if obstructed or deployed in large open spaces. Salt Lake City-based Xandem has developed a new kind of technology that not only solves these problems but also has a superhero-like power: It can “see” through walls to sense movement. Co-founders Joey Wilson and Neal Patwari have won a number of innovation awards in the state of Utah that have largely funded the company since its inception four years ago. Xandem launched its first product in April with help from Salt Lake City angel investor Ryan Smith.

Mind-blowing factor: Intruders can’t beat this system: There is no place to hide from these small, card-size nodes because they can be embedded in walls, beams, and furniture. The technology could be used in households and commercial buildings, but the company also claims that it’s sensitive enough to protect government buildings that require the highest level of security."

Happy Halloween! We thought you would enjoy a video of our latest creation - an interactive sensing graveyard with a robot ghoul named “Chancellor Darkskull.” It uses Xandem technology to track the location of visitors and react accordingly. Hilarious! Check it out!

Award-winning Tech startup Xandem has been causing quite a stir with its motion sensor system that ‘sees through walls’. The US-based company produces plastic nodes the size of credit cards that can be embedded in walls or even furniture – meaning you end up with an invisible security system.

“The demand came for a completely invisible means to detect presence,” says Nathan Williams, director of Redwood. “The project required that even with a very high specification of smart home, very little technology should be on show due to the interior design implications.

“After much research, the Xandem solution stood out as being able to meet all of our requirements. We purchased a development kit which worked very well and so specified the solution for the project.”

Mountain Alarm, a division of Fire Protection Service Corporation, announced today that they are partnering with Xandem Technology, a Utah startup company based in Salt Lake City, to make Tomographic Sensing Detection (TMD) available to commercial and residential customers throughout the Intermountain West. TMD is created by installing a network of wireless ‘nodes’ that sense motion within a specified area and send a signal back to a receiver at the security panel. Unlike current infrared motion sensors or beam sensors, TMD does not require a direct line of site in order to detect movement and register an alarm. TMD sensors can be placed in cabinets or even built into the walls without degrading the detection sensitivity.

Mountain Alarm deployed one of the first Xandem TMD networks in 2011 at a warehouse facility for a client in which other detection technologies were ineffective. “The harsh environment, temperature changes, large coverage area and equipment blocking the line of site created a very difficult challenge in which other devices would easily false alarm”, said Brad Nye, General Manager for Mountain Alarm Northern Utah. “The Xandem TMD solution was easy to install, offers complete and reliable coverage, and hasn’t resulted in a single false alarm.” The warehouse facility manager stated, “Our company has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars from break-ins to our warehouses in the past. Since installing Xandem’s TMD technology, all further break-ins have been halted. TMD was the only solution available that gave us reliable and complete coverage with its ‘see-through’ capabilities.” To view a video regarding this warehouse deployment, visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCCwzj8-SyM.
