Hand extinguishers
Strength: Low-cost, certified, familiar and widely distributed.
Gap: A person must stay close enough to aim throughout discharge.
QuenchPod: A familiar unit of purchase that can be placed, installed or remotely delivered.
Fixed suppression
Strength: Automatic, proven protection for unattended premises.
Gap: Fixed pipework is costly, disruptive and poorly suited to moving or remote risks.
QuenchPod: Targeted retrofit at the risk point, complementing rather than replacing fixed systems.
Thrown devices
Strength: Simple stand-off deployment and fast first attack.
Gap: Typically one deployment mode, limited control and dense prior art.
QuenchPod: Non-explosive release plus installed standby, remote delivery and addressable control.
Aerial suppression
Strength: Reaches large, inaccessible incidents.
Gap: High operating cost and broad drops with limited point control.
QuenchPod: Distributed, mapped placement through WILD and AIR programme deployments.
