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.

    Toll operators and Progeny trade claim and counter claim about the potential ramifications of operating in the 902-928MHz spectrum, as Jon Masters finds out. Two months after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) determined that Progeny can start commercial operation of its NextNav location finding service, the dust has begun to settle. The tolling industry has had a chance to reflect on how this may impact its operations, in the knowledge that NextNav will share the 902-928MHz frequency band with RFI

    A new generation of video compression can lower transmission costs of data and make streaming from mobile and body-worn cameras a reality, as Colin Sowman discovers. Bandwidth limitations have long been the bottleneck restricting the expanded use of video streaming for ITS, monitoring and surveillance purposes. Recent years have seen this countered to some degree by the introduction of ‘edge processing’ whereby ANPR, incident detection and other image processing is moved into (or close to) the camera, so
