Habitat’s Article on SuperAlert
SuperAlert was founded by a group of engineers who successfully developed and deployed sensor technology for tracking wildlife in Antarctica. We are:
Nathaniel Polish, Ph.D.
Dr. Polish has developed and deployed a great many systems over more decades than he cares to admit. The SuperAlert technology is a great mix of his love of embedded systems, signal processing, and large-scale distributed systems. While New York City boiler rooms are not quite as hostile as Ross Island Antarctica where is penguin weighbridges are deployed, they are a fascinating challenge. Also as a long-time New York City Coop board member Dr. Polish has been contributing to the efficient management of his own building for many years.
Seth Herr
