Fugro Roadware has released Vision, a desktop application that offers synchronised viewing of pavement management data. As the company points out, data collection from a road network only takes on meaning once it is processed. With Vision, all data processing, visualisation, and reporting can be completed from one place, facilitating efficient management of network-level data that will enable more effective pavement management decisions.

The Enova SecureNAS T1 is a 16-bay secure Network Attached Storage (NAS) system that integrates the company's latest FIPS 140-2 certified X-Wall MX-256 (AES ECB 256-bit strength) and X-Wall MX-256C (AES CBC 256-bit strength) crypto modules that are responsible for encrypting/decrypting connected disk arrays in real time. The AES secret keys that operate the SecureNAS T1 are delivered securely via a remote key server that runs under the administrator's Windows PC/laptop.

Genetec has launched what it claims is the world's smallest high-resolution Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) camera - the AutoVu SharpX.
