Incendia Canada Inc
Incendia provides rapidly deployable, modular safety ecosystems for high-risk environments with degraded infrastructure. Their systems integrate environmental threat detection with secure communication and real-time coordination tools, enabling faster and more informed responses for military and civil operations in areas lacking traditional infrastructure. This allows for resilient environments in locations such as forward-operating bases, disaster zones, and refugee camps.

Problem
High-risk environments with degraded infrastructure often lack reliable safety systems for environmental threat detection, secure communication, and real-time coordination, hindering effective emergency response. Traditional safety solutions may be difficult to deploy rapidly and maintain in locations such as forward-operating bases, disaster zones, and temporary installations.
Solution
Incendia provides rapidly deployable, self-contained safety ecosystems designed for military and civil operations in high-risk environments. The core of the system is the Pentagone, a hub equipped with over 12 sensors that monitor environmental conditions and detect threats such as fire, smoke, pressure changes, and vibrations. The Pentagone units interconnect wirelessly to form a network, providing comprehensive coverage and redundancy. In the event of an emergency, the system activates a 520 Hz siren and strobe light to alert occupants, while also offering direct communication with emergency services. The system is designed for resilience, with battery operation lasting up to 10 years and flexible connectivity options including cellular, Wi-Fi, and LoRa.
Target Audience
The primary customers are armed forces, government entities (especially municipal), and operators of critical infrastructure and temporary installations requiring robust and rapidly deployable safety solutions.
Features
- Integrated hub with 12+ sensors monitoring humidity, smoke (wood, plastic, cooking), pressure, vibration, and motion
- Wireless interconnection with other Pentagone units up to 1 km, creating a self-organizing safety network
- 520 Hz siren and strobe light for effective alerting, even in challenging environments
- Emergency pull-cord option for manual activation and precise location reporting
- Multi-channel connectivity (Cellular, Wi-Fi, LoRa) for reliable communication in degraded infrastructure scenarios
- Data encryption and secure sharing within closed networks
- Ruggedized design for resistance to weather, temperature variations, vibrations, and other environmental factors
- 10-year battery life for autonomous operation
