1762 KBC Networks, manufacturer of industrial transmission equipment for analogue, IP and high definition transmission systems, has expanded its industrial Ethernet switch range with a series of Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches.

With the PoE data ports on the switch supplying power directly to the attached networked device, the new additions to the KBC IP transmission range make new installations and system adds faster, easier and more flexible. The units are designed for a wide range of industrial, non-conditioned and outdoor applications with extended operating temperature ranges and hardened casings. Depending on the switch selected, the switches are either IEEE 802.3af or the higher powered IEEE 802.3at compliant, which is suitable for most PTZ cameras.

Combined with the company’s new WESII wireless range, KBC claims the new switches are ideal for rapid and temporary deployments, as well as installations that require the minimum of disruption such as traffic and town centre camera systems.

    Hybrid communications to variable message signs increase resilience to natural disasters and enable deployment in remote areas, as Alan Allegretto explains. 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

    The new Multi-Hop Data Radio from Banner Engineering extends the reach of the company's SureCross wireless systems by repeating transmissions in 3km 'hops' to a multi-hop total of 20km or more. Using the system, clusters can be combined and connected to create networks with 2,400 wireless points, covering over 100km2. The company says its system can be used to connect a wide variety of field devices directly, including PLCs, controllers, HMIs, DCSs, transmitters and level, pressure and temperature sensors.

  • New Hampshire plans for tomorrow’s communication
    August 21, 2017
    Someone once likened predicting the future to ‘nailing a jelly to the wall’. With ITS, C-ITS and V2X technology progressing at such a pace, predicting the future is more akin to trying to nail three jellies to the wall – but only having one nail. And yet with roadways having a lifetime measured in decades, that is exactly what highway engineers and traffic planners are expected to do. Fortunately, New Hampshire DoT (NHDoT) believes its technological advances may be able to provide a solution. The Central Ne
