New IoT Connect Nuclear Radiation Detect Area Monitoring Sys

The RadWall S300 Area Radiation Monitor nextgen all-digital area radiation monitor that combines three functions in one : Alarm & Display Unit , Built-in Scintillation Detector , and Self-Healing and Self-Forming Mesh Network Capable Monitor
BNC Scientific , is introducing a new line of nuclear area monitors with a rich feature set previously only available in consumer electronics .
The new RadWall area monitors detect and alarm on nuclear radiation in real time .
While there are several manufactures of radiation detection and isotope identification nuclear area monitors , the RadWall S300 is the first commercial system to offer IoT connectivity .

age- ment to leverage universal protocols and widely available networking equipment . Existing IoT networks can be augmented to include many RadWall units , in addition to handheld isotope identifiers ( RIIDs ), PRDs or other detector solutions .
“ To complement our handhelds , PRDs and backpacks , we are introducing some fixed monitoring solutions that provide accurate , real time data to a reachback location ”, comments Allan Gonzalez , Detection Systems Product Manager .
“ Typical area monitor networks don ’ t need elaborate spectroscopy , so the lower cost and simplicity of a go-no go system makes sense ”. The consumer nature of the RadWall provides easy set up and management , but the detector system embedded is built for demanding industrial applications .
