Orion Entrance Control, Inc., the pioneering provider of building access solutions chosen by Xandar Kardian to be their North American partner, announced the release of Constellation, a small, discreet unit that utilises state-of-the-art, close-range radar-based sensors that provide accurate, anonymous occupancy and wellness data in real-time.

"Concerns about building safety and the well-being of occupants continue to be a top priority," explained Steve Caroselli, CEO and Founder, Orion Entrance Control, Inc. "Now, with Xandar Kardian's disruptive technology, security doesn't have to come at the expense of privacy."

Xandar Kardian was the first to commercially deploy digital radar signal processing in large, complex environments like international airports. Orion's Constellation makes that technology accessible to organisations of all sizes. Besides being lightweight (and compact in size), Constellation uses minimal power and comes fully-assembled, making it easy to install and deploy.

Easy customisation

"Orion is known for technologically-advanced products that make businesses, schools and other workplaces safer and healthier," said Sam Yang, Managing Director, Xandar Kardian. "This has been a terrific opportunity for us to collaborate on a product that can help make any building "smart", dramatically reduce false alarms and provide organisations with significant cost savings through reduced energy and healthcare costs while keeping people safer."

Constellation is easily customized for specific needs.

  • Star-ZC: zone counting is an occupancy counter that counts the number and duration of individuals in a given zone so organisations can optimise space management.
  • Star-FD: fall detection notifies security when an individual has fallen and confirms the fall with heart rate, body position and breathing signals.
  • Star-VS: detects vital signs like breathing, heart rates and coughing to monitor the wellness of individuals.
