Video surveillance has become an integral element in the communications systems of all
large-scale installations, such as those run by public utilities, refineries, transportation
systems, and manufacturing industries, as well as government offices, military bases, and
even the fences, barriers and passport control checkpoints that separate international
borders.
The rapid evolution to IP-based cameras, which require higher resolution and frame rates,
as well as the capacity to support advanced analytics, demands an infrastructure capable of
transporting the large amount of high-speed data that is generated. Because it is often
impractical and prohibitively expensive to lay fiber optic cable at large installations or along
the frontiers separating countries, a viable alternative option is to deploy a cost-effective
wireless access solution to backhaul video applications to a control center.
A wireless access solution for connecting multiple cameras over such a single network,
however, has to be expert enough to transmit highly focused video over long distances.
Engineered to meet requirements as stringent as these, the Airmux series of wireless
multiplexers from RAD Data Communications has become the leading wireless transmission
solution for transporting high quality video. Its high bandwidth and low latency enable
operations and security personnel stationed at the control center to monitor the situation
at remote facilities and substations and take immediate action when required in real time.
With a net payload throughput of up to 50 Mbps and a maximum transmission distance of
up to 120 kilometers (75 miles), the Airmux is a carrier-class, point-to-point and multi
point-to-point transmission system. Its flexible, scalable architecture responds perfectly to
security requirements while providing 24X7 remote monitoring of unmanned facilities. The
future-proof Airmux features a robust, high-quality radio link that can be used to connect
Ethernet between two sites. It saves on operating expenses (OpEx) because it is costoptimized
for video surveillance with asymmetric Ethernet bandwidth support. Its high
quality, robust radio link is ideal for surmounting high-interference scenarios that often
typify large-scale installations.
The Airmux transmits over licensed 2.5 GHz BRS bands or over unlicensed, sub-6GHz bands, an option that enables immediate deployment. In addition, multiple point-to-point
architecture allows a dedicated bandwidth to be assigned to each point-to-point link.
Transmission is encrypted to ensure security.
The Airmux is easy to install and maintain, a must for video surveillance applications in which
dozens or even hundreds of units have to be connected simultaneously in order to be
effective. It also operates flawlessly even in extreme temperatures of up to -30 degrees
Celsius (-22 Fahrenheit).
