2198 Westermo's DDW-120 Ethernet extender allows existing twisted pair cables to be used to establish a high-speed remote connection between two Ethernet networks. The company claims this is an easy-to-install alternative to optic-fibre or radio systems when linking remote Ethernet networks.

The device employs a transient blocking unit on each line interface to provide both over-current and over-voltage protection, allowing the line to handle indirect lightning strike transients, power induction and short circuit problems.

The DDW-120 uses twisted pair cables rather than expensive optical fibres or radio links. This plug-and-play unit covers many applications, offering data rates from 192Kbit/s to 5.7Mbit/s in both directions over distances of up to 15km (10 miles).

    A common assumption, even amongst informed observers, is that there’s but a handful of urban charging schemes in operation around the world and scant prospect of that changing any time soon. Larger city-sized schemes such as Singapore, London and Stockholm come readily to mind but if we take a wider view and also consider urban access control and Low Emission Zones (LEZs) then the picture changes rather radically. There is a notable concentration of such schemes in Europe but worldwide the number is comfort
