Antwerp police rely on Radwin's technology to ensure the safety of its citizens

A mission-critical video surveillance network has been installed, integrated by JET point-to-multipoint solutions (Ptmp) connecting hundreds of high-definition PTZ video cameras to the police control center, providing connectivity for deployments at mass events such as concerts and fairs.

Antwerp police (Belgium) has selected JET point-to-multipoint solutions (Ptmp) of Radwin to build a mission-critical video surveillance network. This system connects hundreds of high-definition PTZ video cameras to the police control center providing connectivity for nomadic video surveillance deployments at mass events such as concerts and fairs.

“Increased global terrorist activity is leading governments to implement fixed and nomadic surveillance networks to combat these threats. We are proud that Radwin's JET solutions are a vital component of antwerp police's Safe City project, and we will continue to support the police force as its surveillance network grows to cover more places", notes Raymond Forado, CEO of Europe, Russia, Radwin's North and West Africa.

Exclusive Networks And VCS Observation have been the companies responsible for the design and implementation of the project.

"Amber is a historic city and therefore it is very difficult to get connectivity through fixed network lines. Radwin's system offers the perfect solution because it gives police the flexibility to install cameras in, Practically, anywhere quickly and cost-effectively, unlike fiber, which is slow and costly to implement. JET system beamforming antenna technology filters and combats interference to provide a seamless connection with zero video cuts", says Mari van Heijst, VCS Observation senior engineer.

Live video streams streamed through Radwin's JET Beamforming wireless broadband systems allow Antwerp Police to detect and respond to hidden or potentially criminal activities in real time and capture images for future investigations.

PtMP JET radios offer dedicated bandwidth per camera site to ensure the highest quality of video transmission allowing facial identification and license plate recognition (Lpr).

"Police forces in all countries are increasingly using high-definition cameras for facial and license plate recognition and, therefore, need higher performance. Radwin's JET system meets all requirements, reaching up to 750 Mbps per base station, so the quality of the transmission is excellent. No network downtime, zero latency and Internet jitter", comments Wim Simons, Exclusive Network Services and Solutions Manager.
