Category: Strategic Partnerships | Remote Surveillance | Off-Grid Tech

Vertex Imaging Solutions is proud to announce a strategic global partnership with DragonQ Energy, a breakthrough battery technology company redefining off-grid power solutions. As of April 2nd 2025, Vertex will serve as the exclusive global distributor of DragonQ’s BEAST Power Pole platform— a technology that enables reliable deployment of electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) imaging systems in even the most remote, infrastructure-limited environments.

The Power of Partnership

This collaboration is about more than distribution. It's about convergence—of imaging, power, and deployment infrastructure. DragonQ Energy’s advanced batteries and rugged PowerPole system now form the foundation for scalable, off-grid imaging capabilities powered and mounted independently of fixed infrastructure.

According to DragonQ founder Daniel Casey:

“Partnering with Vertex Imaging allows us to showcase our technology in a new vertical market—powering critical surveillance systems where reliability and energy independence are key.”

Introducing the BEAST Power Pole: A Platform Built for Vision

At the center of this partnership is the BEAST (Battery Enabled Autonomous Sensor Technology) Power Pole, DragonQ’s integrated power-and-mounting solution. Built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, the BEAST offers a ruggedized and highly reliable energy platform for EO/IR imaging systems in places where traditional power and communications infrastructure don't exist.

Whether installed along remote borders, at isolated industrial sites, or in temporary disaster response zones, the BEAST Power Pole empowers agencies and operators to deploy high-resolution imaging capabilities with minimal setup and maximum uptime.

For Vertex, the BEAST is a perfect complement to our portfolio of airborne and ground-based imaging technologies. It allows us to offer end-to-end solutions—from sensor to structure to power—without compromise.

First Look: Border Security Expo 2025

The partnership's integrated solution—combining DragonQ’s battery and PowerPole technology with Vertex’s EO/IR camera systems—will be showcased at the Border Security Expo on April 8–9 in Phoenix, Arizona.

Meeting the Demands of Modern Security

This partnership reflects our shared commitment to solving real-world challenges in defense, security, and remote operations. With DragonQ’s energy and platform innovation, and Vertex’s proven imaging systems, we're now able to offer completely self-contained, field-deployable surveillance units capable of operating where other systems fall short.
