ENCOM-ITS

Give your Intelligent Transportation Systems the green light.

Dependable wireless networks from ENCOM are the benchmark for traffic management throughout North America. They deliver powerful, error-free connectivity in the most dense, noisy and challenging urban environments.

Reliable, economical and flexible for future expansion, ENCOM’s wireless solutions are known for their quality and backed by the highest level of customer service.

Serial or broadband, operating at 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz, 5.2 GHz, 5.3 GHz and 5.8 GHz, ENCOM’s wireless systems are guaranteed to be reliable, powerful, reputable, flexible, scalable — and easy on the bank account.

ENCOM products provide error-free, unwavering communication in a dense urban environments from both low- and high-bandwidth wireless products. Our Wireless Interconnect Units boast true “plug and play” capability, instantly extending coverage of an existing hard-wired, closed-loop system with absolutely no system reconfiguration, and acting as an easily deployed “last-mile” ITS.

Each ENCOM serial radio can act as master, remote or repeater, boosting the size and power of your wireless network, while our broadband Ethernet-based, future-minded wireless systems instantly boost data rate, efficiency and capability, and accommodate growth, expansion and modernization.

ENCOM’s COMMPAK BB units combine the latest in MPEG compression and modem technology to allow low-latency communications and enable CCTV video with PTZ (pan tilt zoom) cameras, vehicle detection systems, Variable Message Sign (VMS) communication, refined traffic signal timing plans, and more, all at the same time.

ENCOM's products provide mesh networking capabilities, which provide an extremely secure, reliable and flexible form of communication for the relay of critical traffic and emergency-vehicle information.

Why choose an ENCOM solution?

The advantage of ENCOM wireless solutions for intelligent transport systems:

Traffic interconnect: ENCOM’s Wireless Interconnect Units offer the latest in Spread Spectrum radio technology that integrate with existing closed-loop, copper-wire systems — resulting in the most powerful, reliable and widely used industrial wireless RS-232 communication system in the world. ENCOM’s Model 5100 and Model 5200 radios provide robust, steady and reputable point-to-multipoint interconnection among traffic controllers, while the 5000ESS Ethernet/Serial Server links serial-based radios at the traffic controllers to an Ethernet network.

CCTV: ENCOM’s 5.8 GHz, license-free broadband radios make video monitoring an extremely powerful ITS tool. Our COMMPAK BB 58 radios have a 54 Mbps data transfer rate in a point-to-multipoint scenario, giving video cameras with PTZ (pan tilt zoom) control the power to provide crisp and fluid video images with minimal Ethernet bandwidth consumption. Use CCTV to monitor and manage all traffic incidents directly from traffic management centres.

VMS (variable message sign) communication: This combination of ENCOM’s wireless Ethernet products and serial radios instantly relay messages from central control to motorists in real-world conditions. VMS enables instant updates on traffic congestion, accidents, road closures, road conditions or construction zones to passing motorists.

Traffic detection systems ENCOM’s license-free broadband radios, with industry-leading radio performance and impeccable service levels, enable vehicle detection systems — whose raw data can improve traffic signal timing plans and provide drivers with continuous real-time speed and volume information, and real-time travel time information.

Contact closure ENCOM’s wireless technology is saving lives and property with vehicle pre-emption, advanced warning systems and on-off controls. Our advanced warning systems combine a COMMPAK I/O 8M master activation unit with solar-powered or 120VAC-powered flashing beacon systems to alert motorists when emergency response vehicles are emerging from nearby stations and entering traffic. Wireless traffic signal pre-emption systems use the same COMMPAK I/O 8 technology, instructing traffic signals to accelerate their cycles to give firefighters a green light when responding to a call. And on-off controls at commercial vehicle inspection stations, also using the COMMPAK I/O 8 family of products, provide wireless safety solutions that help to prevent deadly highway traffic incidents.

What's in it for me?

The key benefits of an ENCOM wireless solution for our electrical utilities customers:

DEPLOY EASILY, EXPAND RAPIDLY

Smooth, simple deployment is a distinct ENCOM advantage. Because our radios operate on license-free frequency bands, they can be positioned and repositioned without licenses or expensive engineering.

  • Each ENCOM radio can act as master, remote or repeater, boosting the size and power of your wireless network.
  • Mesh networking capabilities provide an extremely secure, reliable and flexible form of communication for the relay of critical information.
  • Systems are easy to install, and receive ENCOM’s unwavering support and accurate system design through products such as the EP6500 Site Survey Kit, and the Broadband Site Survey Kit. ENCOM engineers will work with you to determine the optimal approach for your situation.

ENJOY ROBUST, RELIABLE PERFORMANCE

ENCOM’s products were built to shine in even the harshest environmental, topographical and radio-frequency environments imaginable. Dense foliage, building obstruction, high rainfall and snowfall, and extremes in elevation and temperature present no problems for ENCOM’s hardy product lines.

SAVE YOUR TIME AND YOUR MONEY

ENCOM’s wireless communications systems are far more economical than any hard-wired rivals. According to recent traffic industry studies, trenched copper cable costs as much as 10 times as wireless technology. Buried fiber optic cable can be 15 times as expensive.

MAXIMIZE YOUR PREVIOUS INVESTMENT

ENCOM’s systems integrate with your current network, so your legacy equipment can work within a state-of-the-art wireless system. Your broadband Ethernet-based, future-minded wireless system instantly boosts data rate, efficiency and capability, and facilitates growth, expansion and modernization.

MULTITASK WITHOUT COMPROMISE

ENCOM’s COMMPAK BB units combine the latest in wireless networking technology and advanced network design to allow low-latency communications and enable CCTV video with PTZ (pan tilt zoom) cameras, vehicle detection systems, Variable Message Sign (VMS) communication, and more, simultaneously, without compromising quality.

ELIMINATE LEASING FEES AND SUBSTANDARD EQUIPMENT

When you choose a dedicated, wireless system, you eliminate antiquated, unreliable phone-circuit connections, and best of all, no more leased-line bills.

WORK WITH A GREAT PARTNER

ENCOM views its clients as long-term partners, putting an emphasis on service. We take a hands-on approach to your needs — from helping to design your wireless network, performing a terrain analysis, and ensuring radio path viability, to taking every step to maximize your investment now and in the future by considering system expansion, enhancement and modernization.

Testimonials

City of Brampton, Ontario - ENCOM's spread-spectrum units
"Communication at those locations has pretty much been bang-on. I don't recall having to send anybody out to look at any of the networks where ENCOM's equipment is installed. We monitor (traffic signals) every day, and when we pull 'em up, we want a second-by-second response from the signals. That's what ENCOM's spread-spectrum units are giving us - they don't falter."
