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.

    Wireless transmission of data and control information is making smarter traffic management easier and cheaper to install. It has long been known that connectivity is the key to improving traffic management and many cost-benefit studies prove that investment in new technology can be justified in terms of reduced congestion, shorter travel times, improved safety and air quality. However, many authorities’ cap-ex budgets only cover urgent matters, not improvements, making it difficult, if not impossible to

    Enabled and enforced by innovative use of ITS, Dublin’s new off-road cycle route is proving a hit with commuters, leisure cyclists and walkers alike as Brendan O’Brien explains. Dublin City Council’s vision is to create a city where people of all ages and abilities have the confidence, incentive and facilities to cycle. On-road cycle lanes had already been incorporated into the Quality Bus Corridors design and there is a mix of on- and off-road cycle routes. However, in 2010 the Council began work on a new
