ICEE targets mechanical storage - be that bytes or bikes

ICEE Managed Services’ new roadside cabinet design has the power modules in an integrated but separate enclosure to the side of the main enclosure for the switches, servers and other processing equipment. According to the company this allows the power supply to be pre-wired and positions it higher in the cabinet to minimise the risk of water damage.

8152 ICEE Managed Services’ new roadside cabinet design has the power modules in an integrated but separate enclosure to the side of the main enclosure for the switches, servers and other processing equipment. According to the company this allows the power supply to be pre-wired and positions it higher in the cabinet to minimise the risk of water damage.

The cabinet sits on a standard 610 plinth and provides front and rear access to the servers and the two section can be locked with different keys to limit access to appropriate personnel.

The company is also producing a new design of racking system for Brompton Bike Hire. Eight of the folding bicycles fit into 'lockers' in the vandal-resistant and the solar- and/or mains-powered cabinet and additional bays can be added if required.

Users hire and drop off bicycles via a text message to Brompton which then sends a message to the appropriate cabinet to release or accept a bicycle.

    As Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) technology proliferates our roadways and transit systems, the need to maintain a reliable power supply grows in importance, argues Pete Johnson of Ensite Power. His argument is that if a utility goes down then whole transportation systems could collapse--snarling traffic, stranding riders and putting people's health at risk. Backup power can alleviate these risks but battery systems are traditionally expensive, unreliable and intrusive, taking up valuable real estate in
