Convergence simplified

ComNet (Communication Networks) has introduced a new fibre-optic transmission product designed to aid in the transition from point-to-point systems to Ethernet network systems. The FVT/FVR10D1E Series are fibre-optic video transmitters and receivers that support digitally encoded video, serial data as well as 10/100 Ethernet.

30 ComNet (Communication Networks) has introduced a new fibre-optic transmission product designed to aid in the transition from point-to-point systems to Ethernet network systems. The FVT/FVR10D1E Series are fibre-optic video transmitters and receivers that support digitally encoded video, serial data as well as 10/100 Ethernet.

The company claims that the ComNet FVT/FVR10D1E is unique in that it provides 10-bit digitally encoded RS-250C short-haul quality video, serial data and 10/100 Ethernet on one single optical fibre. This model offers the user a solution for current requirements where high-quality video is needed but future expansion and upgrades will necessitate the use of Ethernet.

According to Victor Milani, ComNet VP of product management, "Pairing high-quality baseband video and Ethernet in one model might seem like a contradiction. Our design centre started to see the demand for a fibre-optic product that could support current needs but would have the potential to support the transition to Ethernet without a complete infrastructure retrofit. The FVTFVR10D1E does that. It operates as a point-to-point video and data transmission system

and an Ethernet media converter."

Publication of a UK Government report on road congestion this year has highlighted a need to look beyond home borders when searching out answers to pressing problems. With regard to issues of travel information in particular, UK transport professionals would do well to look overseas for solutions they can emulate.

    IRD, Inc's Terry Bergan discusses future applications of weigh in motion technology. The application in recent years of Weigh In Motion (WIM) at tollgates has been driven by recognition of the fact that there is economic value, which can be levied, attached to Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) which haul laden (and are therefore heavy) rather than empty. As wear and damage to road surfaces increases exponentially with weight, the targeting of HGVs in particular makes sense from both the economic and maintenance p
