Other new 5000 features include transmission of up to five low-speed data/audio channels and up to 18 unidirectional or nine bidirectional contact closures, alongside uncompressed video, on a single fibre core.

The range has built-in automatic gain control and provides true plug-and-play capability. AMG also offers dual optical redundant options which do not use mechanical switches or couplers, and both transmission paths are continuously monitored.

    What future is there for automatic number plate recognition? Will it be supplanted by electronic vehicle identification, or will continuing development maintain the technology's relevance? In recent years, digitisation and IP-based communication networks have allowed Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) to achieve ever-greater utility and a commensurate increase in deployments. But where does the technology go next - indeed, does it have a future in the face of the increasing use of, for instance, Dedi
