HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Perimeter protection is the essential first line of defense in physical security, acting as a critical barrier against unauthorized access and safeguarding valuable assets. However, traditional perimeter security systems often struggle with false alarms, environmental interference, and costly manual verification — issues that can undermine both safety and efficiency. As threats grow in sophistication and perimeter security needs become more dynamic, organizations require smarter, more adaptive solutions that can deliver accurate detection and real-time response.
SourceSecurity.com and Hikvision have collaborated to release a new white paper exploring how intelligent perimeter security powered by large-scale AI and multi-sensing technologies are transforming perimeter defense. The white paper offers a comprehensive look at how integrated AI-powered video analytics, thermal imaging, radar, and fiber-optic sensing systems can overcome legacy challenges to deliver precise, scalable, and cost-effective security.
- Challenges with traditional perimeter security protection
Conventional perimeter security often suffers from persistent false alarms caused by animals, weather, or environmental noise. Poor sensor reliability under fog, rain, or low-light conditions, combined with labor-intensive manual alarm verification, limits effectiveness and increases operational costs. Remote sites face additional hurdles related to power and network access, complicating deployment.
- Smart integration of AI and sensing technologies
Advancements in large-scale AI models and sensor fusion now enable perimeter security systems to detect and verify threats with unprecedented accuracy and speed. Intelligent cameras with embedded AI reduce false alarms by more than 90%, thermal imaging ensures reliable detection regardless of weather or lighting, radar offers wide-area scanning with automatic target tracking, and fiber-optic sensing enables long-distance intrusion detection without heavy infrastructure.
- Tailored solutions for diverse perimeter security needs
The white paper details how different combinations of these perimeter security technologies serve short-, medium-, and long-range perimeters—providing optimized detection, verification, and rapid response for various environments including industrial sites, logistics hubs, remote facilities, and critical infrastructure.
Download the full white paper to explore how the new generation of intelligent perimeter protection powered by large-scale AI and multi-sensing technologies is setting a new standard for security—making systems smarter, faster, and more reliable while reducing false alarms and operational burdens.

Intelligent perimeter protection white paper: How multi-sensing solutions and large-scale AI are transforming perimeter defense
MUSCAT, Oman, Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Future Fund Oman announced record activity in 2025, approving 141 projects this year and lifting total commitments to $1.2 billion as the fund accelerates Oman's economic diversification agenda. Established by Oman Investment Authority with a capital commitment of $5.2 billion to be deployed over five years, the fund is now one of the region's fastest-expanding national investment vehicles, with all capital directed toward projects inside Oman and aligned with the priorities of Oman Vision 2040.
Investment activity has drawn growing private-sector participation from the United States, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, China, and India. To date, Future Fund Oman has mobilized approximately $2.1 billion in additional private and foreign capital, including eight large-scale projects developed alongside global investors, banks, funds, and family offices. The fund said the rising leverage ratio reflects strengthening international confidence in Oman's industrial, manufacturing, and clean energy ambitions.
Job creation remains a key performance indicator. Projects approved since launch have generated more than 1,400 jobs, with thousands more in progress. Investments span five national priority clusters , energy transition, advanced materials, healthcare, logistics, and information and communications technology, reinforcing the fund's role in shaping the country's next phase of economic growth.
Flagship developments include a $1.6 billion solar-grade polysilicon manufacturing facility by United Solar, scheduled for completion in 2026. The project has already supported over 1,000 jobs and delivered more than $317 million in in-country value, while also attracting interest from international development finance institutions. Another major project is JA Solar's six-gigawatt solar cell manufacturing complex in the SOHAR Port and Freezone, a $442 million investment nearing key construction milestones. Once operational, the facility is expected to employ more than 500 people and expand Oman's foothold in regional clean energy supply chains.
Momentum also continues under the fund's SME and venture capital mandate. Since inception, 132 SME and VC projects have been approved, with $56.7 million committed and $37.4 million deployed through eight specialized vehicles covering pre-seed, seed, growth equity, and SME debt. Application volumes remain strong across both mandates, driven by sustained domestic and international interest in projects linked to industrial modernization, technology development, and clean energy.
Since launch, the fund has assessed 828 proposals and approved 141 projects valued at around $3.4 billion, spanning nine major strategic investments and 132 SME and venture capital initiatives. Its dual mandate guides capital toward both large national projects and smaller high-growth businesses, with a targeted 12 percent return and a 40 percent equity ceiling per investment.
