UK-headquartered 120 Siemens Mobility, Traffic Solutions has released its latest UTMC-compliant Outstation Transmission Unit (OTU) to provide customers with the full benefits available within SCOOT MC3 and fully implementing the latest UG405 communications protocol.

According to Keith Manston, the company's Head of Product Management, the introduction of the new UTMC OTU and associated Siemens instation components has the potential to initiate a dramatic shift in the way UTC control is implemented on street.

"Not only does the system revolutionise the way outstation equipment is managed but, by the use of time-stamped communications, it enables a wide range of communication options to be used," he says. "Importantly, flexibility in communications offers customers the opportunity for significant savings in revenue by using either lower-cost IP communications links or sharing existing IP communications infrastructure for SCOOT control."
