30 ComNet Europe is introducing the CopperLine product line to bring to market its expanded Ethernet over existing copper media transmission product offering which includes multiple-channel Ethernet extenders, un-managed Ethernet switches and PoE mid-span power injectors. These products, designed for applications where existing copper media, such as coaxial cable or twisted pair (UTP), is currently installed, are a cost-effective alternative to installing new media.

According to ComNet Europe managing director Steve Clarke: "CopperLine will consist of one, four, eight and 16 channel models that use coaxial cable or twisted pair. The higher port count models solve density challenges, allowing up to 16 channels to be supported in a single RU high rack-mount chassis.

CopperLine will also offer a unique un-managed switch that allows four ports of 10/100TX Ethernet to be transported for extended distance over a single coaxial cable or UTP."

    The launch of autonomous vehicles and a host of electronic components render the current 12-volts (v) battery nearly unusable, says a new report by Frost & Sullivan, Strategic Analysis of the Global 48v Power-net Market. To meet stringent global emissions regulations and offer a basic semi-autonomous system, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) must electrify components while offering a bigger source of power. Therefore, OEMs plan to migrate to a 48v power-net and use two voltages. Heavy-duty, power-h

Variable Message Signs (VMSs) are a common sight and a well-proven means to improve public safety on our roads and highways. ITS professionals rank the VMS as second only to interoperable radios as the most important technology to improve effectiveness during emergency incidents and evacuations. Ironically, however, current systems suffer from one criti
