Innovative Solutions for Every Need

Purpose built perimeter detection for the industries where a breach costs the most.
Explore how RBtec fits yours:

RBtec industry water treatment aerial view 4 3

Water Utilities

Water systems answer to AWIA risk assessments while running fences around plants, reservoirs and dozens of unmanned pump stations. RBtec gives each site type a standard zoned detection layer that reports back over the telemetry the system already runs.
Water Utilities

Substations and Electrical Utilities

Substations are unmanned, spread across whole service territories, and increasingly targeted — from copper theft to sabotage. RBtec turns the station fence into a zoned detection layer reporting through existing SCADA, documented for CIP-014.
Substations and Electrical Utilities
Aerial view of a utility-scale solar farm with a fenced perimeter

Solar Farm

Copper theft crews can strip a solar site in one night, and insurers know it. RBtec turns kilometers of PV fence into zoned detection that catches the cut before the inverters are reached, with sensing that scales from one site to a whole portfolio.
Solar Farm

Self-Storage Facilities

Storage facility break-ins happen after hours, through or over the fence, while cameras record quietly. RBtec IRONCLAD turns the perimeter into an alarm zone on the burglar panel you already have, so response starts while the thief is still at the fence.
Self-Storage Facilities

Sea Ports & Terminals

Ports run long landside fences and a waterside that no fence can cover, under ISPS and MTSA obligations. RBtec covers both: zoned detection on the fence line and Marinet underwater detection where the intruder arrives by water.
Sea Ports & Terminals

Private Estates & Residences

Large private properties have long, irregular boundaries — walls, hedges, gates and open ground — and no security team on site. RBtec detects an intruder at the boundary and reports where, before they reach the house.

RBtec industry oil gas aerial view 4 3

Oil, Gas & Petrochemical

Refineries, terminals and tank farms run some of the longest fences in industry, often around hazardous areas where powered electronics cannot go. RBtec covers the distance with passive fiber sensing and keeps every active component safely outside the zone.

Military & Border Security

On a border or a base, the adversary plans around what they can see. RBtec buried fiber gives them nothing to plan against, and fence sensing, ground sensors and protected distribution close the layers above and behind it.

Logistics & Distribution Centers

Cargo theft breaks records every year, and it starts at the fence around the trailer yard. RBtec turns that fence into a zoned alarm layer that satisfies TAPA FSR auditors and feeds the cameras your guards already watch.

Government & Classified Networks

A classified network is only as secure as the cable runs between secure rooms. RBtec alarmed carrier PDS protects SIPRNet and other classified circuits between SCIFs and connected buildings, in line with CNSSI 7003 and without concrete encasement.
Government & Classified Networks

Every layer of your site, covered

From the open approach to the network links between your buildings, each layer gets the RBtec system made for it. Use one, or combine them.

Point to a number to see how each layer works
1. The approach PulseVi 3D LiDAR

A solid-state LiDAR scans the approach in 3D. AI classifies what moves, so a person or vehicle raises an alert while animals, debris and weather are filtered out.

See PulseVi 3D
2. Under the ground RaySense buried fiber

Standard single-mode fiber is buried along the perimeter. Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) listens along the whole cable and detects intrusion, with nothing to see above ground.

See RaySense
3. The fence IRONCLAD and MicAlert

The sensor cable is fixed to the fence fabric. When someone cuts or climbs the fence, the cable picks up the attempt and the processing unit raises the alarm. IRONCLAD is for chain-link fences, MicAlert for rigid fences.

IRONCLAD MicAlert
4. The wall WallAlert

A sensor cable mounted along the wall picks up the vibration of drilling, sledgehammer blows and attempts to break through, and raises the alarm in real time.

See WallAlert
5. The network link ShortPDS and FiberPDS

Your network cables run inside an alarmed conduit. Any attempt to open or tamper with it raises an alarm, so the link itself is protected, inside a building or between buildings.

PulseVi 3D LiDAR

Classifies people and vehicles crossing open ground, and filters out animals and debris.

2Under the ground

RaySense fiber

Standard fiber buried along the line becomes a covert sensor. Nothing to see above ground.

3The fence

IRONCLAD and MicAlert

Sensor cable on chain-link or rigid fences that flags cutting and climbing.
