Augusta Systems Inc. and Crane Wireless Monitoring Solutions (WMS), a provider of wireless sensor networks, have collaborated to advance remote monitoring solutions for defense and security.
The agreement calls for the companies to pursue joint product development focused on integrating Augusta Systems software with Crane WMS solutions. Augusta Systems is a provider of technologies that power the intelligent convergence of devices, systems and networks.
“With the rise in potential security threats and the need to continuously monitor remote facilities and locations, defense and security professionals are faced with daunting challenges to critical infrastructure protection,” says Augusta Systems President and CEO Patrick Esposito. “Data integration and policy management software from Augusta Systems, coupled with wireless monitoring products and remote monitoring solutions from Crane WMS, provide a powerful, combined solution to overcome these challenges in defense, homeland security and industrial security applications.”
Augusta’s EdgeFrontier products support integration and normalization of data, events and control functions from diverse devices, systems and networks, regardless of manufacturer or communications protocol, according to the company. In addition, EdgeFrontier provides structures for event processing and configuration of event or policy-based actions through a policy engine.
Products from Crane WMS provide complete, end-to-end intelligent monitoring solutions that transform data into business knowledge and provide continuous and real-time information.
