Highway communications solutions must support a multitude of equipment requirements and growing bandwidth needs. In addition to data from traffic control systems and information signs, there is an increase in traffic from high quality real-time surveillance video.
RAD supplies Ethernet core network solutions over fiber, copper, wireless and mobile links to address the diverse communications requirements and interfaces of various roadside data and voice transmission equipment. These solutions are based on a mix of Ethernet switches with protected rings of up to 10Gbps and fiber or copper modems, which enable connectivity of remote cameras or electronic messaging signs. Where wireless backup is required or fixed line communications is not possible, RAD offers a router with 3G communications capabilities.
RAD’s industrial switch/routers are engineered to meet the rigid environmental conditions and outdoor requirements of highway communications devices. RAD’s complete HLS system offering includes cameras for day and night vision, fully controlled by RAD’s Video Management System and the HLS Command & Control and Emergency System, providing a one-stop shop for all highway authority communications, security and control needs.
