Think of this as a wireless security blanket.
Since the tragic events of 9/11, security has become paramount on the worksite. Essential services providers, such as electrical and oil and gas companies, have taken a renewed interest in protecting their refineries, pipelines and substations.
The government of Canada recently ranked water among the country’s top three critical infrastructures, leading water organizations to take another look at safeguarding public health at their reservoirs and lift stations.
Municipalities are refocusing on security at public buildings, parks, and transit vehicles, stations and shelters. Construction companies are on the lookout for vandalism and theft at the job site. Traffic managers are always seeking more eyes on the road.
By employing specific packet routing and packet switching, and combining the latest in MPEG compression and state-of-the-art modem technology, ENCOM’s COMMPAK BB, or broadband, units provide the ultimate in smooth and crystal-clear video images.
With a 54 Mbps data transfer rate in a point-to-multipoint scenario, ENCOM’s technology allows employees at one central access point to view images from multiple remote cameras, simultaneously, over one radio link.
ENCOM’s broadband radios also boast extensive security features — the most advanced on the market — ensuring privacy and discretion.
ENCOM’s wireless broadband Ethernet networks enjoy a bulletproof reputation for seamless, error-free connectivity in the most severe, challenging environments.
For ENCOM’s security-sector customers, that means mobilizing a wide-ranging arsenal to combat terrorism and vandalism — CCTV and security cameras with video recorders; security devices such as motion detectors, photoelectric detectors and security floodlights; intercoms; and access control items such as biometric and keypad readers, door locks and gate controls.
ENCOM's serial and broadband products use license-free operating frequencies: 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz, 5.2 GHz, 5.3 GHz and 5.8 GHz.
Why choose an ENCOM solution?
The advantage of ENCOM wireless solutions for the security industry:
Video surveillance: Thanks to the technology offered by ENCOM’s 5.8 GHz, licence-free broadband radios, video monitoring via Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) becomes 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 protection for all our clients seeking worksite security.
Security measures: ENCOM’s industry-leading COMMPAK BB 24, COMMPAK BB 49 and COMMPAK BB 58 broadband Ethernet products provide easy facilitation of a wide array of security measures, including motion detectors and photoelectric detectors, door and window contacts, security floodlights, glassbreak sensors, and sirens and strobes. In the municipal transit industry, emergency help buttons on trains, when coupled with video monitoring, provide added security for passengers.
Access control: ENCOM’s broadband radios provide a wireless link for access control items such as gate controls, door locks, and biometric and keypad readers.
What's in it for me?
The key benefits of an ENCOM wireless solution for our customers in the security industry:
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, and bridges, as well as to existing fibre optic cable lines.
They are also an advantage in power-station environments, where moving equipment and dangerous conditions preclude the use of fixed cabling.
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.
BE PROTECTED BY SUPERIOR WARRANTIES
