The new technology detects movement through walls and solves industry-wide gaps in aesthetically sensitive areas, dirty and cluttered environments, and high value asset protection.

Created by Dr. Joey Wilson and Dr. Neal Patwari at the University of Utah using radio wave synergistic sensing, TMD is easily integrated into standard panel equipment for new and existing automation, alarm and energy efficiency systems.

“One of our greatest hurdles with our new Tomographic Motion Detection (TMD) is helping multiple industries understand that we have met the future,” says Xandem founder and TMD creator Dr. Joey Wilson.

“TMD overcomes many of the weaknesses in security, health care and automation as it is complete and hidden detection that is not susceptible to obstructions, temperatures or filth.”

According to Wilson the technology can be used in non-traditional ways.

“The uses of this technology are endless. Since our system can quantify motion, our systems can detect the difference between a single intruder and a crowd of people. When parents leave their kids at home, they can be notified if a party is occurring. This is just one example of how Xandem is enabling powerful new applications.”

TMD technology uses wireless networks that penetrate through solid materials making the system successful even when the devices are placed behind walls, furniture, and other obstructions. It is unlike traditional microwave sensors in that the sensing does not depend on radio wave reflections. The tomographic sensing comes from communicating nodes in a mesh network that sense disruption to the waves as they pass through a defined area.
