Proxim
Wireless Corporation announced that it deployed a mobile
backhaul solution
for the security and surveillance systems of Villefontaine, France.
The French town deployed a wireless HD video surveillance system that
leveraged Tsunami QB-8150 wireless backhaul products.
The
Community of Villefontaine is a suburb of the City of Lyon. A
relatively young town, it is located in the Rhone-Alps Region.
Villefontaine
local government dispersed its facilities all across the town to best
serve its population. However, this made it difficult for the local
police force to regularly patrol such a
large area,
not to mention quickly responding to emergency incidents. Therefore,
Villefontaine authorities decided to deploy a video surveillance
system that could assist local law enforcement in protecting and
maintaining the safety of the community.
For
the Villefontaine mobile backhaul project, Proxim Wireless tapped its
certified regional partner, Libertylan, to perform a detailed
wireless site survey and serve as project integrator. Proxim Wireless
and Libertylan then replaced existing leased lines with secure
wireless links. The completed high capacity radio network now
provides secure wireless transmission of video images, data transfer
services, and VoIP services to Villefontaine.
Thierry
Gouin, IT director for the Community Council of Villefontaine, stated
that the mobile backhaul system installed by Proxim Wireless
performed flawlessly and proved very secure. The Council was thus
able to save money by canceling its leases on several fiber lines
which had now become superfluous.
