Intelligent Traffic System
Central and local (municipal) governments are increasing the efficiency of traffic flows, increasing safety, reducing pollution, and avoiding or delaying the need for costly upgrades to road systems by actively monitoring and controlling them as part of an intelligent traffic systems (ITS) network. They are also increasingly offering WiFi as a public service. This requires the placement of various traffic and environmental sensors, signal controllers and electronic signs, HD cameras and hotspots throughout the metro. Copper is the easiest and most efficient way to get high performance bandwidth where it is needed, and Actelis Networks provides an ultra-reliable, low maintenance, cost efficient solution for backhauling these sensors and cameras over copper on one integrated IP/Ethernet network. A recognized name in Intelligent Traffic Solutions, Actelis makes hardened, space efficient solutions purpose built to meet major ITS networks’ specifications.
Actelis offers a portfolio of rugged and reliable G.SHDSL and VDSL2 Ethernet Access Devices that are environmentally hardened and mount in a street cabinet, in a vault, on a pole, or on a wall or strand. Suitable copper is typically available wherever needed throughout metro road grid, and at many places along highways. The ITS portfolio includes ML600 platforms that provide up to 5 Ethernet user ports which can connect HD cameras, traffic and environmental sensors, and WiFi hotspots using G.SHDSL bonded copper. The ML700 series provides even more efficient transport over bonded VDSL2. The ML230/2300 aggregation switches provides termination for up to 256 copper pairs, delivering an efficient handoff to collocated IP/MPLS switches, routers, and controllers.
The Actelis Ethernet Switches support drop and continue networking (2+2 and 4+4 EAST/WEST) for flexible daisy-chain deployment topologies along streets, extending service well beyond typical metro fibre points of presence. Options in environmentally hardened, DIN rail mount, small form factor, and fanless units suited for the most challenging environments are available. The copper-based ITS solutions can also be seamlessly extended off of metro fibre rings.
