NetWave® Radio Meets Demands from Industrial Markets

  • Oct 19, 2015
ComNet, Communication Networks of Danbury, Connecticut, a USA-based manufacturer of fiber optic transmission and networking equipment, expands the NetWave wireless Ethernet product line with a new, hardened unit for use in challenging applications. The new model is an Ultra-High Throughput Impact-Resistant, Hardened Wireless Ethernet link.

The new models supports a 500 Mbps throughput and features the same ease of usebenefits offered by the entire NetWave® line. The 500Mbps is the highest throughput of any NetWave model and is the ideal solution when multiple IPCCTV cameras need to be connected back to the central monitoring location. The NW-9 can be used over distances of up to four miles under ideal conditions.

This new model, the NetWave NW-9 is enclosed in a rugged aluminum case that can be used in the most extreme environments and the company foresees use in industrial and transportation applications where there is a potential for shock and impact.

According to Andrew Acquarulo Jr., ComNet president and COO, “we have enjoyed a great amount of success in a very short time with the entire NetWave product line. We are now starting to uncover unique needs for the product line. As NetWave has become so accepted, demand for a truly hardened unit that still met the IP67 standard and could stand up to rigor of a truly industrial applications became a high priority. The NW-9 is that solution.”

“These new additions to the NetWave product line continues to round out an impressive product line. As with the entire NetWave product line, these new models feature the same ease of use and setup attributes that we designed into theinitial wireless product line,” Acquarulo said.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
