Quatech Products Used: ABDG-ET-DP501 Airborne Enterprise Ethernet Bridge

Many buildings use a network of cameras for security monitoring. These cameras are placed throughout a complex, and signals from them are relayed to a monitor bank for viewing by security personnel. Using a single port Ethernet Bridge is a fast, easy way to bring these cameras onto a network so that they can not only be viewed from the security booth, but from any Internet enabled computer with access to the network.

Airborne Wireless Ethernet Bridges have been integrated and deployed into a wide range of other applications across various industries including:

Medical equipment
Vehicle telematics & diagnostics
Material handling & logistics
Industrial Automation
Test & measurement
