Senstar’s FlexZone-60 and FiberPatrol FP1150 Achieve NPSA Certification for Critical Infrastructure Protection
Advanced perimeter intrusion detection systems meet rigorous UK security standards for high-security barrier applications
Ottawa, Ontario, July 28, 2025 — Senstar Corporation, a leading provider of physical security and advanced sensing technologies, announces that its FlexZone-60 and FiberPatrol FP1150 perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS) have secured certification from the UK’s National Protective Security Authority (NPSA). Operating within MI5, the UK’s Security Service, the NPSA serves as the National Technical Authority for physical and personnel security. This certification confirms both systems have undergone evaluation and approval against version 6.0 of the NPSA Barrier Mounted PIDS Standard.
Meeting UK Government Security Standards
NPSA certification represents one of the world’s most stringent evaluation processes for perimeter security systems, guaranteeing that approved technologies can safeguard the UK’s most sensitive facilities. The certification process examines detection performance, false alarm rates, environmental resilience, and integration capabilities under real-world conditions.
“Securing NPSA certification for both the FlexZone-60 and FiberPatrol FP1150 systems underscores our commitment to delivering security solutions that satisfy the most demanding government standards,” said Fabien Halbert, Senstar CEO. “Their certification of these two products, in additional to our previously certified solution, OmniTrax, gives our customers confidence that these systems will perform reliably in the most challenging security applications. These latest certifications strengthen Senstar’s performance in critical infrastructure, continuing a legacy of reliability with over twenty years of presence in the UK.“
Rigorous Testing Standards Met
The certification validates the performance of the FlexZone-60 and FiberPatrol FP1150 systems when installed on a NPSA-specified fence system that represents the type of high-security perimeter protection required for critical national infrastructure, government facilities, and other high-value assets.
Proven Technology for Critical Applications
FlexZone-60 employs advanced “loose tube” perimeter intrusion detection technology, utilizing guided RF and Time-Domain Reflectometry (TDR) to detect and locate attempts to cut, climb or breach fencing. The system pinpoints intrusions accurately even during multiple simultaneous events amid background environmental noise. Sophisticated signal processing algorithms deliver exceptional detection accuracy while filtering environmental noise and weather-related disturbances to minimize false alarms. Its robust outdoor design and proven reliability in harsh conditions make FlexZone-60 a dependable solution for critical infrastructure, government facilities, and high-security commercial installations.
FiberPatrol FP1150 utilizes advanced fiber optic perimeter intrusion detection through Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), providing continuous fence line monitoring by detecting vibrations, cutting attempts, and climbing activities. The system delivers exceptional sensitivity and precise localization while maintaining robust performance across all weather conditions. Its immunity to electromagnetic interference and power surges that compromise traditional electronic sensors sets it apart. With distributed sensing architecture and intelligent signal processing, FiberPatrol FP1150 offers reliable, long-range perimeter protection for critical infrastructure, airports, government facilities, and data centers.
OmniTrax is a terrain-following covert outdoor perimeter intrusion detection sensor. Sensor cables buried in the ground generate an invisible electromagnetic detection field. It functions as a standalone system, can be fully integrated into any command-and-control system, and can cover large perimeters with limited infrastructure.
Enhanced Security for Critical Infrastructure
The NPSA-certified configuration provides security professionals with a validated solution for protecting:
- Government facilities and military installations
- Critical national infrastructure
- High-security commercial facilities
- Data centers and telecommunications facilities
- Transportation hubs and utilities
Both systems integrate seamlessly with existing security management platforms and can be deployed as part of comprehensive layered security strategies. Customers gain peace of mind knowing their facilities have robust protection without the operational burden of frequent false alarms.
