A huge variety of companies and organisations are finding themselves the targets of an ever-increasing army of opportunist thieves, career criminals, terrorists or just trespassers.
With RAFID, you have the security of knowing that you have done everything you can, with the best quality equipment, to make your perimeter as intruder-proof as possible.
Clearly, there is no shortage of technology and techniques available, all claiming to offer the best solution. There can be no single choice in deciding on the best available system for your company, simply because different techniques are better suited to different applications.
Geoquip is one of the very few companies worldwide which has developed the full range of technology required to offer complete detection for perimeters, regardless of the terrain and environment. Whether you need protection for open spaces or walls, fencing or buildings, Geoquip has the flexibility to provide you with the most suitable perimeter protection, perimeter detection and perimeter security solution. One such system is RAFID.

What is RAFID?
 The Radio Frequency Intruder Detection system is one of a range of technologies developed by Geoquip to offer complete protection in places where uninvited guests need to be discouraged. It is discreet and therefore ideal for proximity detection, where an intruder will walk unknowingly into its invisible field. The strategically placed transmitters and receivers will cover the vulnerable area with a blanket of radio frequency rays linked to an analyser.
At its heart, RAFID has two specially designed cables – one transmitting a radio wave, the other receiving that wave. Changes in the amount of signal passing between the transmitter cable and receiver cable are analysed by a signal processor which determines whether these changes are due to the presence of a human.
The system offers a great deal of flexibility, with individual cable positions being determined according to the customer's needs and sited either on a solid object or buried a few millimetres underground. The aim is to create a man-sized area of radio waves acting as invisible barbed wire. Once the intruder enters this barrier, they will in turn signal their presence and generate an alarm.
Why Choose RAFID?
The unique design of RAFID means that it is not affected by the environmental factors which can seriously reduce the effectiveness of other technologies. The design of the system ensures that it can withstand standing water, running water, waterlogged sites, rain, sleet, mist, hail, snow and fog.
Moreover, the need to respond rapidly to an intruder is obviously a key issue in any security system. The technology in RAFID allows it to operate adjacent zones on different channel frequencies, therefore avoiding interference problems between neighbouring zones.
This feature of RAFID's overall signal detection system allows for overlap between adjacent zones. This eliminates any possible blind spots and means that any intruder activity will be quickly located within the protected perimeter.
