Venezuela deploys Proxim's point-to-point wireless technology

Proxim Wireless, a provider of broadband wireless systems, has announced that the State of Bolivar, Venezuela has deployed Proxim's point-to-point wireless technology as part of a large, integrated public safety network in Bolivar City.

The network, which connects both state and local police, the national guard, state transportation and public safety agencies, utilizes Proxim's Tsunami QuickBridge.11 radios to create a wireless video surveillance network.

The Emergency Bolivar 1-7-1 network also incorporates closed circuit television, digital telephony via VoIP, fleet management, call management, video conferencing, emergency call management, and fire detection and access control systems, Proxim Wireless added.

Proxim Wireless has added that the end result is a fully-integrated public safety network that enables all connected organizations to monitor streaming video surveillance footage throughout Bolivar City, manage all incoming emergency calls, and automatically deploy emergency vehicles and services.

Christian Cooper, project coordinator for CorpData, the integrator that deployed the Emergency Bolivar 1-7-1 network, said: "When it comes to video surveillance networks, the performance demanded of the wireless network is considerably higher than in most network scenarios. In most networks, you have periods of usage where traffic demands spike - but in video surveillance networks, there is a constant demand to ensure the quality transmission of the video streams. We have had a great deal of experience with Proxim, and no other wireless vendor can provide the high-performance, QoS and VLAN capabilities that Proxim delivers."
