Why choose an ENCOM solution?
The advantage of ENCOM wireless solutions for municipal transit systems:
Video monitoring: Thanks to the technology offered by ENCOM’s 5.8 GHz, licence-free broadband radios, video monitoring is an extremely powerful security tool. Our COMMPAK BB 58 radios have a 54 Mbps data transfer rate in a point-to-multipoint scenario, allowing video cameras with PTZ (pan tilt zoom) control to provide excellent video images with minimal Ethernet bandwidth consumption. The end result: 24/7 security on buses, trains, shelters and platforms.
Advanced passenger information systems: Through ENCOM’s industry-leading COMMPAK BB 58 broadband radios, municipal transit departments can supply riders with up-to-the-minute bus and train schedules — either at platform or station monitors, or via riders’ cellphones or personal digital assistants (PDAs) through voluntary sign-up programs.
On-board security measures: Emergency help buttons on trains, when coupled with video monitoring, provide added security to ridership.
Transit vehicle pre-emption systems: ENCOM’s robust, dependable broadband Ethernet products can provide backhaul communications for transit vehicle priority systems, with traffic signal pre-emption hustling buses and trains through city corridors.
In-carriage messaging: ENCOM’s broadband radios can supply the communications link for variable message boards inside buses and trains, keeping riders up-to-date on schedules, transfer times and possible delays.
Public safety communications: With ENCOM boosting transit systems’ networking capabilities, possibly through a municipal Wide Area Network (WAN), transit drivers and control-centre employees can communicate seamlessly with police, fire and ambulance services in emergency scenarios.
Diagnostic information: ENCOM’s wireless networks provide instant information to bus barns and rail yards from on-board diagnostic systems within trains and buses, allowing transit management to track the health of its fleet and send out replacement vehicles without leaving passengers stranded.
Real-time passenger counts: ENCOM’s wireless communication provides real-time passenger information, allowing transit management to add buses to busy routes, in the short term, and reshape various routes, thanks to developing rider patterns, in the long term.
What's in it for me?
The key benefits of an ENCOM wireless solution for our municipal transit 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.
Instead of requiring the costly and disruptive construction needed to install and expand wired systems, ENCOM radios simply attach to city buildings, traffic signals, towers, bridges, water reservoirs, and pump stations, as well as to existing fibre optic cable lines.
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 with multiple data-streams and protocols, and offering the possibility of crisp, fluid CCTV video with PTZ (pan tilt zoom) cameras.
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.
