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).

    Across the board, technology is being brought to bear to improve the efficiency of enforcement. Bus lane monitoring, parking and controlled access have all benefited from systems introduced in recent months. While speed and red light infringements tend to attract the most attention, there remain several other areas of enforcement where automation can bring significant operational and efficiency benefits. Lane monitoring and access control also continue to benefit from technological development.
