558 AMG Systems has launched the 5800/5900 series of hybrid products, which are available both as standalone and as rackmount. The company claims that its groundbreaking 5000 series is the only hybrid fibre-optic transmission product available on the market which allows the transmission of both analogue and IP video, three bi-directional data channels and eight contact closures on one single-mode fibre.

According to Sara Bullock, international sales director, the background for developing this new series is a huge increase in projects where multiple technologies, IP and low-speed data interfaces are required alongside analogue video from roadside positions.

AMG has also announced its new 6100 series, which provides transmission of up to eight video channels along with one low-speed data channel and can be configured in either a single-fibre 'drop and insert' topology or linear spurs. The company says this approach provides for significant cost savings on infrastructure, installation and maintenance without any increase in equipment cost. It can be configured to collect individual or multiple video signals, for example around a site perimeter, city centre or facility in a 'daisy chain', and transmit them all back to one or multiple control rooms or drop-off sites. A new key feature in the product range is the sophisticated built-in LED diagnostics which enable the location of a fibre breakage to be identified easily from any position within the loop.

According to Patrik Anderson, business development director at Swedish camera manufacturer Axis Communications, it is no

    David Crawford looks how workzone safety can be ‘economically viable’. Highway maintenance is one of the most dangerous construction industry occupations in Europe. Research from The Netherlands on fatal crashes indicates that the risk facing road workzone operatives is ‘significantly higher’ than that for the general construction workforce. A survey carried out by the Highways Agency, which runs the UK’s motorway and trunk road network, has suggested that 20% of road workers have suffered injuries from pa

    As authorities strive to reduce expenditure and carbon emissions, Colin Sowman looks at some of the smart ways of managing street lighting while containing costs and maintaining safety. Street lighting can account for 40% of an authority’s energy consumption. So, faced with the need to reduce outgoings, some authorities are looking for smart ways of managing street lighting or even turning off swathes of street lights in the small hours. Back in 2008 the E-street Initiative report concluded that authorities
