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

Solar power has been relatively slow in entering the transport sector, but a current blossoming of activity bodes well for the large-scale harnessing of an alternative energy that is zero-emission at source and, in practical terms, infinitely renewable. Traffic management and traveller information systems, and actual vehicles, are all emerging as areas for deployment. Meanwhile roads themselves are being viewed as new-style, fossil fuel-free ‘power stati

    Many ITS and video surveillance systems are now migrating to High Definition (HD), something which has traditionally required high-resolution IP cameras and a complete system architecture overhaul. Euresys now provides a less expensive and seamless upgrade path with the Picolo.net HD4. “This allows users to connect four HD-SDI/HDcctv cameras through at least 100m of coaxial cable to a video surveillance IP network. It’s easy to integrate into video surveillance systems as it features an ONVIF Profile S-comp
