SkyBeam optical transmission

AMG Systems has launched a new series of multi-beam free space optical transmission solutions that can bridge the gap between two sites that have fibreoptic cabling but where installing additional cables is not feasible. SkyBeamMaxi is available in two versions, 155 and 1G for longdistance transmission. 155 can transmit up to 155Mbps over 2km line of sight while 1G can transmit 1.25Gbps over 1km line of sight. Meanwhile, SkyBeam Mini 1G transmits full-duplex 1.25Gb Ethernet up to 500m line of sight, which A

    Wireless bridges widen options for ITS upgrades
    Antaira Technologies’ marketing engineer Brian Roth explains why the increasing capacity of wireless bridges is reducing the cost of expanding and upgrading ITS networks. With more than half of the world’s population now living in cities, the need for efficient transportation of both people and goods has never been greater and that pressure is unlikely to ease any time soon. Indeed in many regions of the world the rate of urbanisation is still increasing as the demand for rural workers continues to decline.

    Temporary CCTV poses more challenges than permanent installations
    Long-term roadworks pose particular problems for temporary surveillance installations. Converting the hard shoulder to a running lane, either full- or part-time, is the UK Highways Agency’s solution to ease motorway congestion. This is leading to a number of long-term projects where large stretches of the hard shoulder are closed off by temporary concrete barriers and during these roadwork programmes, temporary CCTV cameras are deployed to monitor and record vehicle traffic and workers.
