Cancún selects Redline to wirelessly connect city-wide public safety system
(Canada Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) -- Highly secure Redline radios deliver wireless video surveillance for
tourist safety --
TORONTO, March 22, 2012 /CNW/ - Redline Communications Group Inc. (TSX:
RDL) ("Redline"), a leading provider of specialized broadband wireless
solutions for industrial machine-to-machine applications ("M2M"), today
announced that they have received a contract to expand a wireless video
surveillance network in the City of Cancún, México. Redline outdoor
broadband wireless equipment will provide M2M connectivity between
cameras located throughout the city and the central automated
monitoring center.
The City of Cancún was developed with tourism in mind. Drawing over
five million tourists a year, visitor safety and well-being is a top
priority for local government and to enhance public safety, improve
police response time and enable better crime analysis, the City's
existing video surveillance system is being expanded to provide greater
coverage. The City required the flexibility to place cameras anywhere
they were needed, and in most cases running wires to desired camera
locations was not feasible. The City decided upon wireless technology
to provide round-the-clock connectivity between the radios and the
central monitoring location. They required secure, high-quality,
reliable equipment and it was equally important the cameras and
wireless devices not be overly visible or intrusive in tourist
locations.
After first choosing Redline's AN-80i radio platform to provide wireless
connectivity for the first phase of this project in March 2010, the
City of Cancún has once again selected Redline to power the expansion
of their video surveillance system, this time with Redline's RDL-3000
radio platform. Operating in the 4.9 GHz public safety band, Redline
radios have the proven security, reliability and capacity to wirelessly
connect a large network of video surveillance cameras. Their excellent
non-line-of-sight capability, the ability of the equipment to deliver
video to a central control center even if the radio antenna signal is
blocked by buildings or trees, allowed them to be easily installed
virtually anywhere the City needed. It also permitted the use of
smaller antennas, which were both unobtrusive and more economical.
"We are extremely satisfied with the performance of Redline's wireless
solution," said Jerry Elizondo, Telecommunications Sub Director for the
Ministry of Public Safety in the City of Cancún. "Thanks to Redline we
have a fully operational video surveillance network that isn't an
eyesore for our tourists. This system is helping keep our city safe by
giving us eyes on the street."
"Video surveillance systems like the one in Cancún are very important to
public safety, and Cancún clearly takes this responsibility seriously,"
said Dennis Stipati, Redline's Vice President of Sales, Americas.
"Since our first system was installed in Cancún, over 25 other
municipalities have followed suit. We are pleased to see our products
working to keep people safe."
As a result of the Redline's video surveillance solution, the City of
Cancún now has a surveillance system that covers a large area while
blending in well with the landscape. With cameras being installed
across the entire city, public safety can improve dramatically for
Cancún's citizens and tourists alike.
