Rail Yard Video Surveillance
The Overview:
Bearing the burden of an economy, railway trains form the backbone and an integral part of a country’s progress. Railways on a daily basis transport critical resources like gasoline products, metals, food materials etc within a country, not to forget the thousands of passengers travelling every hour. To ensure, the smooth running of the railways, periodic checks and maintenance measures are carried out in a rail yard. To record and account for countless set of tasks involving logistics and the battery of technicians and experts working, not to forget the myriad amount of gadgets and equipments in a rail yard, surveillance cameras have incontestably become the need of the hour.

The Challenge:
Currently surveillance deployments involve cameras connected with a web of wires/fiber, which poses quite a lot of challenges ranging from high capital expenditure of cabling, trenching, recurring cost of the fiber maintenance and leasing to the huge efforts required in order to scale for future requirements. Additionally, in the event of a damaged fiber due to unforeseen causes, the turnaround time and the opportunity costs to reestablish communications is humongous.
The Solution:
Proxim Wireless Solutions, with its 4G plus point to point and multipoint solutions, allow a variety of cameras ranging from high definition, wireless IP surveillance to standard definition cameras to be bound into congestion-free surveillance networks. In addition, the QB 62000, the latest from Proxim’s PtP portfolio, with its extremely small signature, make Proxim based surveillance networks truly terrain agnostic ,easy to install, and ultimately help rail yards to be under a ubiquitous “watch”, round the clock with low capital and operational costs.
