The the development of our VORNet equipment and Wireless Displays resulted
from our experience of solving tough communications and monitoring problems at
remote sites. This experience involved meteorological, geotechnical, seismic,
hydrological, aerospace, and industrial applications of computer, wireless,
telemetry, networking, data-communications, and electronics technology.

Matrix-5 is a technology-based firm with the mission to develop and
manufacture remote digital video monitoring products using data-communications
and embedded processor technology. Matrix-5 has been operating for 14 years; the
principals have directly related technical and management experience spanning 20
years.
In general, we develop and manufacture embedded-controller monitoring and
message-transmission products which employ advanced radio-modem networks for
data, messages, and notifications. Some of our products include proprietary
software to provide more advanced features at lower cost. However, we tend to
take an 'open architecture' approach. A constant effort is made to apply proven
technology and 'standard product' components.
Please note that a major growth market is now served by our product
line: wireless long-range digital video security and other remote
wireless monitoring equipment.
Areas of application for our wireless monitoring technology are:
- Schools, colleges, universities
- Medical services facilities
- Outdoor amusement parks and recreational areas
- Industrial facilities
- Construction sites, mines and remote extractive operations
- Outdoor athletic competition sites such as golf-courses and bike-races
Manufacturability and serviceability are considered very important.
Areas of expertise such as software, user-interfaces, digital hardware, analog
hardware, materials-science, and data-communications are combined with solid,
practical experience with enclosures, sealing, isolation, transient protection,
diagnostics, ruggedizing, maintenance, and connectorizing.
Regarding system integration, we are as familiar and comfortable with
software and the Internet as we are with PCB-design, board-stuffing and cable-assembly.
Similarly, we are flexible regarding suppliers. When one supplier doesn't provide a good
fit to new or unique customer needs, we can rapidly find and use another.

Following are a number of key products which exhibit our design and
manufacturing capabilities.
- Advanced Auto-Dialer for seismic early-warning systems
and industrial monitoring; any type of dial-in host requiring scripted
(identified) login -- or even pagers!
- Integrated early-warning systems which monitor sensors and
detect event signals and immediately respond with voice, fax, or data
messages to selected recipients
- High-speed digital radio modems integrated into long-range, mixed-mode
telemetry systems and early-warning systems
- Simple-to-use, targeted smart equipment monitors for
industrial applications where more complex and involved PLCs or computers
are not economic; for example, conveyor speed monitoring combining trip
relays and analog outputs
- Smart seismic sensor (accelerometer) interfaces and calibrators
- Advanced high-speed, high-resolution A/D systems capable
of 16-bit conversions of two channels at 450,000 samples/sec each into 5Mb
of buffer space (no particular PC, bus, or processor required); expands to
four channels -- for high-frequency seismic and vibration applications
- Various specialized data-loggers and data-acquisition systems
integrated to meet specifications which off-the-shelf products
do not meet
- Custom and specialized sensor packages fabricated for
pressure, temperature, vibration, acceleration, displacement, load, and
water-level monitoring and recording
- Hardware interfaces for digital data and data-communications
- Electrical transient protection equipment for sensor signals
- Automated data-acquistion for soil-testing laboratories
telco circuits
- High-power power-supplies and low-noise, low-power sensor power-supplies
- Networked/on-line smart sensors made practical by
integrated smart transmitters
Back to TOP
- New product design involving sensors, data-interfaces, and
embedded-controllers with professional attention to specifications, budget,
time-frame, and documentation
- Software packages to collect and manage geotechnical and
hydrological data for purposes of dam performance evaluation and flood
prediction; includes field data collection subsystems and large databases
- Monitoring circuit and system design
- Embedded-controller hardware and software
- Computer and instrumentation installation and maintenance
- Spread-spectrum radio surveys with propagation analyses
and antenna recommendations for digital telemetry
- Sound and vibration data-acquisition
- Analog and digital circuit-board design, prototype, and
manufacturing
- Scientific/Engineering Software Development using
problem-oriented languages (such as C, AWK, PYTHON, FORTRAN, BASIC, ASSEMBLY)
and knowledge of modern numerical methods for analysis and modelling.
- Custom instrument cable assembly for field recording systems
