Enhancing Safety & Operational Efficiencies

2002 Operational Trial

Presentation Overview• Introduce Norsat• Define our understanding of the needs• Review the potential outcomes of implementing the

technology• Review the technology that Norsat has researched

and brought to the workshop– Video camera– Thermal imaging camera– Network communications


Presentation Objective• Give you an understanding of the available

technology

• Get you thinking as to the possibilities

• Invite you to the demo area to ask lots of questions


Who is Norsat?• A Division of Infosat Telecommunications

(Infosat is a leading satellite system integrator and network provider)

• Norsat is a designer and integrator of closed circuit monitoring systems that is supported by Infosat’s satellite communications offerings

• Wide range of customers in a variety of markets


Norsat’s Understanding:


Norsat’s Understanding: Forest Protection Division has an objective

to discover and report all fires at 0.1 ha or less


Norsat’s Understanding: Forest Protection Division has an objective

to discover and report all fires at 0.1 ha or less

To achieve this objective FERIC is researching the integration of camera surveillance and satellite communications technology to reach this objective

Technology Integration


Remote Monitoring Tower Monitoring


Infrared Basics: Humans only see a small portion of the

light spectrum (visible light) The difference between visible light and

infrared is its wavelength or frequency


Infrared Basics: Objects emit infrared radiation The amount of radiation emitted is

proportional to the temperature of the object Infrared cameras primarily see infrared

energy emitted by objects


Infrared Basics: Infrared cameras operates in one of two

transmission bands Wavelengths (3-5um and 7-14um) are

bands in the spectrum that are not blocked by the atmosphere


Norsat’s Approach: Define and document the needs Research and document the existing infrastructure Research and document the operational

environments Apply the most appropriate technology and keep it

simple Work together/communicate openly


Greatness is not where we stand today, but the direction we are going
