The end-user client is a non-profit organization, based in one of the top 50 metropolitan areas in the US. The organization works to create a safer, cleaner environment for every person that lives, works, plays, or visits the metropolitan area’s downtown district. The nonprofit’s mission is to help attract residents, employers, and investment opportunities to the city.
The initial 4 ROSA security devices will be deployed throughout one of the downtown area’s popular outdoor-seating restaurant districts. One of the popular features of ROSA is its programmable messaging, both visual and audible, that will be utilized in this deployment to help communicate with patrons. As an example, when the restaurants are about to close at the end of the evening the ROSAs will autonomously initiate a persuasive ‘it’s time to go home’ message, while continuing their security and safety post orders.
“This initial ROSA deployment is expected to expand within the city, and scale throughout other major metro areas,” said Troy McCanna. “We’re talking about deploying as many as 100 ROSAs through this alliance alone.” McCanna, who enjoyed a distinguished 23-year career with the FBI, joined RAD in early 2022 and now serves as RAD’s Chief Security Officer.
The Company noted that the 4 ROSA units are expected to be deployed and activated in early June, 2023.
“Since our inception, we have been working to place RAD solutions throughout major cities across the country,” stated Mark Folmer, CPP, FSyI, President of RAD. “This is an ideal deployment for ROSA, acting as a force-multiplier to the security that’s in place now, while providing an extra layer of personal-touch, concierge services.”
ROSA is a multiple award-winning, compact, self-contained, portable, security and communication solution that can be installed and activated in about 15 minutes. Like other RAD solutions, it only requires power as it includes all necessary communications hardware. ROSA’s AI-driven security analytics include human, firearm, vehicle detection, license plate recognition, responsive digital signage and audio messaging, and complete integration with RAD’s software suite notification and autonomous response library. Two-way communication is optimized for cellular, including live video from ROSA’s dual high-resolution, full-color, always-on cameras. RAD has published three Case Studies detailing how ROSA has helped eliminate instances of theft, trespassing and loitering at car rental locations and construction sites across the country.
