Ceragon Networks (News - Alert) is deploying Ceragon's FibeAir IP-MAX wireless radios to provide continuous communications of mission essential data for use during tropical storms and major hurricane events.
Deep South Communications chose Ceragon's wireless solution in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, to supply a communication system that could continue uninterrupted during a Category 5 hurricane.
The FibeAir IP-MAX provides continuous full motion IP video and site Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). Ceragon's wireless technology has the capability to support communications between Outfall Control Structures and associated Pumping stations, and Emergency Operations Center in New Orleans.
Ceragon's FibeAir IP-MAX wireless radios will enable primary communications between the outfall canals and back-up communications along the canals.
Ira Palti, president and CEO, Ceragon Networks is proud to have been selected to provide a reliable communications infrastructure and a mission critical communications system that will be operational during future hurricanes.
“Ideal for municipal networks, Ceragon's wireless solution will enable the level monitoring of Lake Ponchartrain and the outfall canals during future storms events or hurricanes that threaten the City of New Orleans,” said Palti in a statement to the press.
Ceregon points out that by combining native IP and TDM capabilities, the microwave solution deployed is more cost-effective than fiber and can be easily upgradeable for future bandwidth.
