RFID for Fire Alerts: Priceless?
An Australian company will soon offer RFID sensors that will send alerts when wildfires crop up, ideally making data available far earlier that satellite or aerial imagery. The company, Telepathx, “expects the systems will cost about $1500.00 USD per kilometre depending on sensor saturation.”
The company claims:
Telepathx patent pending active RFID sensors are truly innovative in the way they can remotely detect and notify of excessive ambient, convected or radiated heat for extended periods, up to 10-12 years in 24-7 real time without the need of maintenance or management.
Is that a reasonable price?
