With orders, vehicle details, traffic and weather information gathered and shared in real-time among drivers and dispatchers, the mining logistics service can deliver required material to mining site

German motorists can look forward to receiving traffic information over a data channel with 400 times the capacity of traditional RDS-TMC services, thanks to a partnership between Mediamobile and TomTom on the first nationwide traffic service to be broadcast over Germany’s digital radio network, Mediamobile’s V-Traffic Premium DAB. TomTom will provide the traffic content for the V-Traffic service, which is regarded as important in establishing digital radio as a new traffic data delivery channel for the aut

The CNVETX1 video encoder/decoder from UK-based ComNet Europe is designed for those applications suffering or likely to experience extreme temperatures, vibration, shock or irregular voltage and where humidity with condensation are present, says the company. The all-new CNVETX1 is a single channel video encoder/decoder which has been ‘industrially hardened’ for use in the most extreme operating environments. It accepts an incoming baseband video signal with duplex audio and serial data for camera PTZ contro

The Axis Q1931-E thermal network camera is said to be a robust, affordable and solid bullet-style camera designed for outdoor surveillance in complete darkness and challenging conditions. It offers high contrast 384x288 resolution thermal images and is Axis’ first thermal camera offering its corridor format, which allows the camera to deliver a vertical field of view, perfect for situations such as the monitoring of long fences and other perimeters.
