# Ro&™ PLATFORM MONITORS HOURS OF SECURITY FOOTAGE FOR YOU
# THE BRAINCHILD OF ROANNE MONTE, Ro&'S AI INTELLIGENCE GIVES INSTANT ACCESS FOR BUSINESSES & INDIVIDUALS
# Ro&™ PLATFORM REPRESENTS A QUANTUM LEAP IN SECURITY TECH. ACCESSIBILITY
# AUSTRALIAN SECURITY TECH ENTERS NEW ERA WITH AI-NATIVE PLATFORM LAUNCH
# PRODUCT, ENGINEERING & INDUSTRY LEADERS UNITE TO TRANSFORM VIDEO INTELLIGENCE
Australian tech entrepreneur Roanne Monte has launched Armatec Global's latest Video Intelligence program that is designed to sift through hundreds of hours of footage to locate specific visual information at a fraction of the price for both consumers and businesses.
The platform was created by Roanne after a terrifying personal experience during Covid lockdowns in 2021 during which she was stalked, intimidated, and continually watched in her home and surrounds for well over a year by a man working as a security guard in the office building across the street.

Roanne recalls being gaslit by her stalker, and even by police, who required an actual assault to take place before they were willing to act, even though she had been lunged at and stood over by the individual.
Says Roanne about her experience, "I felt so powerless, slowly over time I was stopping the things that I loved, such as walking the neighbourhood and reading in the park. This was during lockdowns, so it was the only activity that many of us could do at that time."
"I was then inspired - as someone that develops software solutions - to create a platform that doesn't take the jobs of existing security guards, rather it works with them and becomes a tool that can amplify their efficacy in the industry. Ro& in this sense, gives those in security an edge and allows them to work smarter, not harder," she added.
"Unlike traditional security solutions that retrofit AI onto legacy architectures, Ro&™ was built from the ground up as an AI-native platform. This design ensures sophisticated retrospective video intelligence without requiring expensive compute resources or specialized technical expertise."

ABOUT Ro&™
Armatec Global, an Australian deep-tech company, has launched Ro&™, an AI-native video intelligence platform that democratizes enterprise-grade security analysis for organizations and individuals worldwide. Built on a foundation of capital-efficient AI innovation, the platform eliminates traditional barriers to advanced security intelligence, offering zero deployment time and scalable SaaS-based access to powerful retrospective video analysis.
"Security technology has historically been costly, complex, and slow to deploy. Ro&™ eliminates these barriers," said Monte, whose background spans Harvard computer science, Cornell Law, and global product development. "With zero deployment time and a highly scalable AI-native architecture, we enable organizations to access enterprise-grade security capabilities immediately—without costly infrastructure investments. This is security intelligence, redefined for accessibility and capital efficiency."
Unlike traditional security solutions that retrofit AI onto legacy architectures, Ro&™ was built from the ground up as an AI-native platform. This design ensures sophisticated retrospective video intelligence without requiring expensive compute resources or specialized technical expertise.
"AI adoption is often hindered by high infrastructure costs and scalability challenges," notes Alan Ambron, technical co-founder. "Our AI-native approach optimizes processing efficiency, meaning Ro&™ delivers enterprise-grade analysis at a fraction of the cost of traditional AI-powered solutions. This capital-efficient model allows us to scale globally without the heavy operational overhead that typically constrains AI security firms."
The platform's efficiency extends beyond technology—it supports diverse deployment needs through a flexible SaaS model, enabling:
- Instant access for businesses & individuals via zero-deployment, cloud-based AI intelligence
- Enterprise-grade, real-time capabilities available through Ro&™'s authorized partner network
"The evolution from the first 3G safety watch to Ro&™ represents a quantum leap in security technology accessibility," says Sy Laga'aia. "We're not just innovating for enterprises—we're making high-level security intelligence available to everyone, from small businesses to global organizations."
Monte's commitment to responsible AI development aligns with her contributions to Australia's AI governance framework and speaking engagements at security industry forums, including the Protective Security in Government Conference in Canberra.
Developed through intensive Australian R&D, with Sydney as the company's global headquarters and a strategic presence in the U.S. tech ecosystem, Ro&™ reflects Australia's growing role in pioneering deep-tech solutions for global markets.
