Debuting at ISC West, X Tower transforms reactive surveillance into autonomous, off-grid protection for cities, campuses, and commercial environments
LAS VEGAS and SAN JOSE, Calif., March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, at ISC West 2026, Xthings, a global leader in AIoT and smart security, is introducing X Tower, a fully autonomous Physical-AI smart tower designed to deliver proactive public safety anywhere it‘s needed, without trenching, wiring, or reliance on the power grid.
X Tower provides autonomous visibility, lighting, and real-time risk awareness in infrastructure-limited urban environments.
Traditional emergency call boxes and surveillance systems are largely reactive. They depend on manual activation and respond only after an incident occurs. Large public spaces, campuses, logistics hubs, parks, and temporary sites often lack continuous 24/7 coverage, and wired deployments are slow, complex, and infrastructure-dependent. X Tower changes that.
“Public safety infrastructure hasn‘t kept up with how people actually move through physical spaces,” said Raj Sundar, Senior Director of Product Management at Xthings. “X Tower doesn‘t just record what happened. It understands behavior in real time, classifies risk locally at the edge, and enables early intervention, all in a fully self-contained system that can be deployed within days.”
From Reactive Surveillance to Proactive Protection
X Tower is a self-contained Physical-AI system that combines perception, intelligence, and action into a single autonomous platform.
Perception
Four 4K UHD low-power cameras provide true 360° coverage, while high-resolution radar enables precise motion detection and eliminates blind spots through radar + vision fusion. Always-On Video (AOV) ensures continuous awareness.
Intelligence
Edge-based AI analyzes behavior in real time and classifies activity by risk level:
- High risk: violence, intrusion, robbery, weapons
- Mid risk: loitering, illegal parking, perimeter violations
All AI decisions happen locally for speed, accuracy, privacy, and resilience, even in low-connectivity environments.
Action
When risks are detected, instant alerts and early warnings are sent to command centers. Integrated high-brightness LED lighting enhances visibility and deterrence. A one-touch SOS and assist button provides immediate two-way support. Unlike traditional systems that respond after incidents occur, X Tower enables early detection, real-time intervention, and prevention.
True Off-Grid, Zero-Infrastructure Deployment
Purpose-built for flexibility, X Tower operates independently of fixed infrastructure:
- 200W solar panel with lithium battery storage
- True off-grid, wire-free operation
- 4G/LTE connectivity with optional wired Ethernet
- NDAA-compliant architecture
- Rapid installation within days
No trenching. No grid power. No complicated integration.
Security teams can deploy a single tower in a remote area or scale across multi-site and city-wide deployments; all managed centrally through a unified command interface.
Designed for Real-World Environments
X Tower is engineered for environments where traditional wired security is impractical or cost-prohibitive, including:
- Commercial & Industrial: business parks, logistics hubs, remote yards
- Campuses: universities, schools, perimeter monitoring, emergency readiness
- Cities & Municipalities: parks, plazas, transit hubs, smart city initiatives
- Scenic & Public Spaces: tourist destinations, nature reserves, limited-infrastructure areas
Additional capabilities include environment monitoring and public phone charging, extending the tower‘s role beyond surveillance into community-facing safety infrastructure.
Part of the Xthings Physical-AI Ecosystem
X Tower integrates seamlessly with centralized command centers and is part of the broader Xthings Physical-AI ecosystem, alongside Xthings One and the company‘s portfolio of access control, biometric, and video security solutions.
The result is a unified approach to physical security: edge-first, privacy-preserving, and designed for real-world deployments at scale.
“Because safety shouldn‘t depend on infrastructure,” Sundar added. “And intelligence shouldn‘t wait for emergencies. The physical world deserves AI that understands it.”
