- RADWIN to Showcase its Solutions at AfricaCom, Nov. 11-12, Cape Town, Booth C8b

RADWIN (www.radwin.com), a leading provider of Backhaul and Broadband Wireless Solutions, today announced that the South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL) chose its systems for highway traffic surveillance. RADWIN’s links were deployed along the R-21 highway in South Africa and are used to transmit video of traffic conditions to SANRAL’s Network Management Centre. Broadlink, RADWIN’s partner in South Africa and a subsidiary of Wireless Business Solutions (WBS), was appointed as a communications sub-contractor (HVC was the System Integrator for the entire project).

Adolph Tomes, FMS Systems Manager, SANRAL, stated: “RADWIN’s systems were fast and simple to deploy, and transport high-quality wireless broadband to our traffic management centre. With RADWIN’s systems in place, we have complete visibility over the R-21 highway and can monitor and respond to traffic incidents and alert First Responders on the spot.”

Mike Brown, CEO, Broadlink, stated: “RADWIN’s wireless broadband systems deliver on the low latency required to drive real-time video across a wireless network. The rugged and reliable systems can be deployed in the most challenging environments, and in this case operate flawlessly despite the high wind load along the motorway.”

Hanoch Maskalchi, General Manager, RADWIN EMEA, said: “RADWIN, together with our partner Broadlink, is proud to play a key role in helping to ensure safety along South Africa’s highways. Extremely simple to install and maintain, our systems are designed for high-capacity video transmission from Megapixel cameras, and offer one of the best price/performance values in the industry. For private and public organizations that need real-time video monitoring and surveillance, RADWIN’s systems are the natural choice.”
