“These complex installations show how obtaining equipment, from the cameras with several types of transmission technologies, to the DVRs, from the same vendor can make implementing such systems easier,” says Mark Wilson, Infinova vice president, marketing.  “For instance, the Shangman Expressway is integrated with 136 sets of Infinova WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) plus dome and high-speed PTZ cameras as well as matrix switchers.  The Xihan Expressway features the same cameras plus 260 pairs of fibre optic modems.”

    Moxa provides clear vision for Caldecott Tunnel’s Fourth Bore
    Caldecott Tunnel’s new Fourth Bore is utilising a bespoke high-capacity monitoring and communications network from Moxa. The Caldecott Tunnel connects Contra Costa and Alameda counties in Northern California and traditionally it has suffered severe congestion - especially during peak hours. Opened in 1937 as a twin-bore arrangement, by 1964 the increase in traffic volumes led to a third bore being added. Shortly after the third bore was opened a tidal flow was introduced with the centre bore alternating in
