558 AMG Systems has unveiled Skywave II which the company says is especially adapted for transmitting video and telemetry in the 5.5 GHz to 5.7 GHz licence-free band.

Offering various configurations from simple point-to-point to multiple camera applications, Skywave II comes with two different options: using IP cameras, in which case customers only require the radio network components from AMG, and NVR software in the receiving control centre. It is also possible to use standard analogue cameras with the addition of IP encoders and decoders from 3rd party suppliers.

Furthermore, it is possible to construct a hybrid system with a mix of IP and analogue cameras.

Skywave II also comes prepared for the addition of a PoE injector or a PoE enabled switch.

"Skywave II is an ideal solution for projects where you have a transmission section without fibre," says AMG's Sara Bullock. "This could be on a section of a highway where there is no ready access to fibre, which is often the case in urban areas," she said, adding that this is the case for some parts of the solution the company has supplied for Dublin City Council in Ireland where they're running a comprehensive ITS and traffic management system in and around Dublin.

    IP technology the route to efficient multi-agency control rooms
    As IP-based technology makes its presence felt in the control room sector, it makes for greater economies of scale and also offers a migration path for many other traffic management technologies. So says Barco's Guy Van Wijmeersch. Efficient control room collaboration and decision-making is only possible if operators and decision-makers have easy and timely access to information. In many cases, that information also needs to be accessible to multiple users at the same time. This is certainly so in the case

    New technologies enable increased collaboration, cooperation
    The continued expansion of IP camera networks increases the availability of useful information. At the same time, the opportunity exists to increase inter-agency collaboration. This makes information management all the more necessary in the control room environment. But the transportation sector could do a lot to help itself by gaining a better idea up front of what and how it wants to do things, says Electrosonic's Karl Johnson.
