Intelligent Transportation Systems with Proxim Wireless

Five Reasons to Consider Proxim Wireless for Your Next Project

When upgrading ITS systems on existing road networks, a key challenge is connecting roadside devices to central monitoring and management centres. Without a wired infrastructure, wireless solutions are the only option. To ensure reliable transmission of video, signalling, and monitoring data over long distances, it's essential to choose products that can handle these demands. Proxim Broadband offers reliable and secure data transmission solutions, addressing common concerns in implementing wireless links in Intelligent Transportation Systems.

When considering wireless solutions for ITS systems, key factors to consider include: ensuring reliable and stable connectivity even in harsh weather conditions; maintaining network performance to guarantee persistent data delivery; securing over-the-air transmission and radio management; leveraging expertise in network planning and design; and facilitating rapid deployment.

1. Reliable Operation even in Diverse Weather Conditions

Proxim's products boast IP67-rated metal enclosures, ensuring reliable and stable operation even in extreme weather conditions. They can function continuously in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 140°F and are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, wind, ice, snow, high heat, arid environments, humidity, and salt exposure.

2. Maintaining Network Performance

Proxim's solutions are designed to maintain network performance and ensure persistent data delivery for ITS applications, particularly those that rely heavily on video traffic monitoring, incident assessment, and response. Our solutions excel in transmitting high-quality, real-time video and control data over long distances and can be customized to prioritize data streams based on specific network requirements.

3. Secure the Air Transmission and Radio Management

Proxim's WORP solution ensures secure over-the-air transmission and radio management, featuring robust data security measures, including 256-bit AES encryption for data transmissions, secure remote management through SSH, SSL/TLS, and SNMP v3 connections, and a proprietary encapsulation protocol between radios. Additionally, the solution features secure authentication processes between Subscriber and Base Station units to ensure reliable and trusted communication.

4. Network Planning and Design

Proxim's Link Calculator is a powerful tool for wireless network planning, utilizing Google Maps to provide geolocation data and terrain analysis. This tool enables accurate link performance forecasting, comprehensive analysis, and bill of materials compilation, ensuring a reliable design from the outset. When combined with the expertise and guidance from Proxim's sales engineering teams, customers can confidently plan and design their networks for optimal performance.

5. Rapid Deployment

Proxim's Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint broadband wireless products operate in unlicensed radio spectrums, allowing for rapid deployment of networks wherever and whenever needed. The company's BeamX beam steering solution further streamlines deployment by eliminating the need for time-consuming antenna alignment, making it easier to set up and start using wireless networks quickly.
