RoamZone Security Systems Breakthrough Technology

In the universe of international security systems, the Beehive™ is a truly disruptive technology. It will change the way airports, seaports, embassies and other "secure" environments define a secure environment for years to come.

Following the tragic events of September 11, 2001, when governments and private concerns began to test various means of providing safety and security, effective solutions have been elusive. RoamZone's Beehive™ provides a solution that is an authentic game-changer.

The Beehive™ is a Modular Wireless Communications and Security platform that provides a turnkey solution to support automated security detection and tracking. The Beehive™ Network replaces man-powered security services (like TSA) by automating the scanning, detection, and tracking process and covering broader areas of concern.

It makes it possible for security personnel to avoid the use of politically-charged, usually controversial programs like the "profiling" of potential terrorists because it is an essentially neutral, data-based information-gathering system.

The Beehive™ harnesses science and technology to enhance national security, international security, and the personal safety of individuals. In today's highly dangerous and complex environment of international terrorism and the need for heightened security, both governments and private institutions are charged with the necessity and responsibility to protect citizens and facilities necessary for travel, commerce, and manufacturing and civilized society as we know it. The Beehive™ system provides the most effective and cost-efficient solution available in the security market.
How it Works

The Beehive™ system detects, analyzes, and recognizes chemicals and substances likely to be harmful to public safety. Using an extensive library of detection algorithms, the Beehive™ can detect potentially harmful or dangerous substances in the vicinity, quickly identify the material based on comparison of spectral data within the detection library, and provide instantaneous, autonomous notification of the triggered event.

Because all materials and substances have a specific chemical makeup and therefore a unique spectral signature, virtually anything can be detected and tracked with the Beehive™. The comparison digital database can be quickly modified and updated to search for the selected chemicals or substances. Substances to be identified and detected are first carefully analyzed in a controlled environment, separated into spectral components, and logged in the detection library. When the Beehive™ scans an area, software analyzes the scene's spectral signatures and queries the database for known substances. When a match is found, the software automatically notifies security personnel.

The complete compound digital signature of an individual can also be compiled and logged immediately, enabling a host of additional tracking capabilities, such as facial recognition.  When the Beehive™ detects an event involving an individual with explosive residue on his or her clothing, and the software logs the complete digital signature, they can be immediately detained.

The Beehive™ can also track the individual in occluded intervals and/or distance future at any region where the Beehive has been deployed.  When the individual enters Beehive™ deployment location, the compound digital signature acquires the individual, quickly compares and matches it with the signature on file, and if a particular signature has been flagged as critical, can deploy tracking for the event again. Through customization, the system provides licensed authorities with further multi-dimenstional detection tracking for events involving additional persons of interest who are observed in contact with the individual.

The entire system is autonomous, from the constant monitoring of an area with the Beehive™ Module to the detection of substances and digital signatures and database comparison, matching, and alerting features.  Each Beehive™ Module is interconnected with every other module, designed with the unique core system architecture, as well as an extensive, multi-layered backend, which supports the Signature Database along with all other off-site storage hardware and software.  

Multiple, redundant data streams from diverse sources (including copper, fiber, GPS, Satellite, MPLS wireless and mobile carriers) are aggregated in each Beehive™ unit to provide this interconnection while also ensuring the maximum available bandwidth to each unit.  The secure, managed off-site server cluster supports spectral analysis processing and signature comparison for the spectral data the Beehive™ Module provides. Licensed users can access to a particular data stream can monitor the given situation/event remotely via the secure connection as well--from anywhere in the world.

Each user intending to monitor the area around a Beehive™ Unit(s) will be required to obtain a license to access and use the module. This license will provide authentication for the user, and a unique account, which isolates the user and secures all data collected. The licensing system allows for custom configuration of event notifications, materials to track, specific times for tracking, and a host of options.  In this manner, each licensed user has access to the same detection and tracking capabilities on the same Beehive™, but in a completely separate, customizable, and secure fashion.

The Beehive™ system is capable of the autonomous detection of any range of known substances, and subsequent alerting, tracking, and monitoring for events pertaining to such substances. Tracking of individuals and facial recognition is also enabled, using the spectral analysis process to catalogue the complete compound digital signature.

The Beehive™ Modules themselves use redundant, diverse communications techniques to ensure maximum availability and quality of bandwidth for multiple tasks. Secure, authorized, and licensed access ensures that proprietary information is available only to those it is intended for, and allows for multiple simultaneous monitoring channels functioning from the same Beehive™ Module.
