Infinova’s Matrix Switchers and Fiber Optics Guard Large Distribution Center in China

  • Jan 28, 2011
The Yiwu International Commercial Center, the largest distribution center in the world for small commodities (located in Zhejiang Province of China) is using three sets of Infinova’s V2060 Series large-scale matrix switchers and nearly 400 pairs of Infinova digital fiber optic modems to transmit video images within the 21.5 million-square-feet facility.  The structure has become the icon representing Yiwu City’s modernization.        

“The economy of China has been growing, and Infinova continues to tap into its modernization programs with its full suite of leading edge video products and systems,” said Mark S. Wilson, Infinova’s vice president of marketing.  “For instance, our video matrix switchers are the only ones to feature Ethernet networking capability. They are also available with Video over IP that allows users to select, view and PTZ control from four to thousands of cameras from anywhere in the world via the Internet. Our fiber optic transmission systems feature the industry’s best optical power budget, widest optical dynamic range and highest racking density.”

With Infinova’s V2060 video matrix switcher, Yiwu International Commercial Center security operators can provide automated electronic surveillance or allow a single user to control an entire CCTV system of up to 1024 video inputs by 128 video outputs. In the automated environment, the user can pre-define up to 64 system tours, 64 salvos, 35 event timers, five alarm display modes and three alarm clearance modes to be performed separately on individual monitors.

Multiple models of Infinova fiber optic modems are deployed.  They feature 1-, 4-, 8-, 12- and 16-channel video, depending on the model.  For instance, 216 of the N3748 Series fiber optic modems let the Yiwu International Commercial Center video system transmit eight digitally encoded video channels over one optic fiber.

Infinova recently went public, raising $300 million, which it will use to grow both organically and through acquisitions.

  • The Future is Happening Outside the Cloud

    For years, the cloud has captivated the physical security industry. And for good reason. Remote access, elastic scalability and simplified maintenance reshaped how we think about deploying and managing systems. But as the number of cameras grows and resolutions push from HD to 4K and beyond, the cloud’s limits are becoming unavoidable. Bandwidth bottlenecks. Latency lags. Rising storage costs. These are not abstract concerns. Read Now

  • The Impact of Convergence Between IT and Physical Security

  • Unlocking Trustworthy AI: Building Transparency in Security Governance

    In situations where AI supports important security tasks like leading investigations and detecting threats and anomalies, transparency is essential. When an incident occurs, investigators must trace the logic behind each automated response to confirm its validity or spot errors. Demanding interpretable AI turns opaque “black boxes” into accountable partners that enhance, rather than compromise, organizational defense. Read Now

  • Seeking Innovative Solutions

    Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. You may recognize these terms as the “5 Phases” of a grieving process, but they could easily describe the phases one goes through before adopting any new or emerging innovation or technology, especially in a highly risk-averse industry like security. However, the desire for convenience in all aspects of modern life is finally beginning to turn the tide from old school hardware as the go-to towards more user-friendly, yet still secure, door solutions.
