Enhancing Safety & Operational Efficiencies
2002 Operational Trial
Presentation Overview• Introduce Norsat• Define our understanding of the needs• Review the potential outcomes of implementing the
technology• Review the technology that Norsat has researched
and brought to the workshop– Video camera– Thermal imaging camera– Network communications
Enhancing Safety & Operational Efficiencies
Presentation Objective• Give you an understanding of the available
technology
• Get you thinking as to the possibilities
• Invite you to the demo area to ask lots of questions
Enhancing Safety & Operational Efficiencies
Who is Norsat?• A Division of Infosat Telecommunications
(Infosat is a leading satellite system integrator and network provider)
• Norsat is a designer and integrator of closed circuit monitoring systems that is supported by Infosat’s satellite communications offerings
• Wide range of customers in a variety of markets

Infrared Basics: Humans only see a small portion of the
light spectrum (visible light) The difference between visible light and
infrared is its wavelength or frequency
Enhancing Safety & Operational Efficiencies
Infrared Basics: Objects emit infrared radiation The amount of radiation emitted is
proportional to the temperature of the object Infrared cameras primarily see infrared
energy emitted by objects
Enhancing Safety & Operational Efficiencies
Infrared Basics: Infrared cameras operates in one of two
transmission bands Wavelengths (3-5um and 7-14um) are
bands in the spectrum that are not blocked by the atmosphere
Enhancing Safety & Operational Efficiencies
Norsat’s Approach: Define and document the needs Research and document the existing infrastructure Research and document the operational
environments Apply the most appropriate technology and keep it
simple Work together/communicate openly
