2208 Hirschmann Car Communication has launched what it claims is a world first - an Iridium/GPS/ mobile communication antenna combination able to meet the needs of growing requirements in global asset tracking as well as remote monitoring applications.

The device provides secure voice and data transmission where a terrestrial mobile communication connection can only work to a very limited extent. The housing of the low power consumption device is made from a particularly robust material in order to withstand all weather conditions as well as rough handling and knocks.

  • Wireless traffic data in real time

    The effect of moving objects on the electromagnetic landscape set up by cellular telephony networks can be detected and interpreted to give real-time traffic data across large geographical areas at low cost. Here, we revisit the Celldar concept. Global economic downturn has pushed public-sector agencies, transport administrations among them, to push even harder for cost efficiencies. Unfortunately, when it comes to transport safety and efficiency the public sector often has to work up to a cost rather than

  • Wireless bridges widen options for ITS upgrades
    December 9, 2014
    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.
