Remote Video Surveillance provides security for residents, property, and critical infrastructure. Issues ranging from radio type (point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, mesh), frequency, channelization, camera type, camera angles, antenna design, network capacity, and power management can mean the difference between seeing clearly or missing the moment of importance.
T1 replacement using wireless broadband solutions can save thousands of dollars in annual operating costs while increasing an organizations WAN capacity. However, inappropriate RF Engineering and radio selection will create constant network outages and higher maintenance costs, offsetting the return-on-investment expectations.
Fiber Alternatives utilizing high capacity wireless bridges can save both time and money compared to the installation costs of running fiber or leasing fiber capacity from a Provider. The ROI in most cases is as quick as 1 to 2 months, if not immediate. Proper engineering, design, and equipment selection ensures a highly reliable connection that is interference-free and free of constant packet losses.
Access to Remote Sensing, Monitoring & Control Devices provides real-time management which can save thousands of dollars when electromechanical and pneumatic devices fail. Industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, wineries, public utilities, mining, and the like can and in many cases do benefit from wireless Ethernet networks.
Wireless local area networks allow continuous connection and significantly improved productivity for a mobile workforce. Whether for businesses, schools, hospitals, or governmental agencies, WLANs maximize the investment of laptops and PDAs by providing a network cloud within the building or campus environment. This cloud also enables the wireless extension of your phone system through voice-over-IP (VoIP) thus minimizing the use of cellular phones in an office environment…a major expense for businesses and end-users.
Wireless Wide Area Networks (WANs) work in much the same was as LANs, simply over a larger area such as outdoor campuses, neighborhoods, or even communities. WANs (sometimes referred to as MANs for Municipal Area Networks) can save thousands of dollars in manpower and real-time data access. Additionally, when used for public safety agencies, outdoor WANs can literally save lives and assist greatly with critical communications of GIS data, high resolution photos and mug shots, real-time electronic EMS reports for hospitals and ambulance patients, and ad-hoc video, data, and voice networks at incident sites where several public safety agencies may converge. Using a self-owned broadband network solution provides greater bandwidth capacity, security, and reliability than a cellular solution, without the monthly recurring costs.
