Infinet Wireless helps in the prevention of fires in Burabay National Park

The safety net of Infinet Wireless facilitates the transmission of images and videos, captured by video surveillance cameras installed in Burabay National Park.

Infinet Wireless has helped implement the safety net for early fire prevention in the Burabay National Park. The initiative is to preserve the integrity of the ecosystem, restore complexes and affected natural and historical-cultural objects.

This nature reserve, with its coniferous forests, healing lakes, unique mountain landscapes, rare fauna and flora; is located in northeastern Kazakhstan, in the Akmola region, and extends over more than 129.000 Hectares. It is part of the country's state property and one of the specially protected natural areas.

The video surveillance system deployed in Burabay Park is designed to monitor the situation and ensure early detection of forest fires. It is a hardware and software complex with video monitoring points, special software, a geo-information system and wireless data transmission links.

Video surveillance cameras have been installed in telecommunications masts with a height of 30 To 40 Meters, providing coverage over long distances. An autonomous power supply is connected to the masts and each tower is powered by solar panels.

The wireless network between the masts and the central monitoring point has been organized on the basis of the solutions Quanta 5 Point-to-Point with up to a bandwidth of up to 450 Mbps. A total of 14 radio links, which cover most of the territory of the reserve.

When a fire is detected, video cameras equipped with ultra-precise thermal imaging cameras recognize a cloud over the background of a forest, pick up a signal at distances of up to 13 Kilometers, determine the coordinates of the source of the fire and transmit information to a monitoring center.

When choosing a provider, the main factor in favor of Infinet Wireless products was the simplified integration of wireless solutions into the existing infrastructure.. The required equipment had to withstand the most unfavorable weather conditions in the region, such as strong winds and rains, temperature changes and fog, in addition to being able to connect to the ground in case of lightning strike.

Some radio links were deployed on the surface of Lake Borovoe, which is located on the territory of the nature reserve. The surface of the water is known to have a strong influence on radio links due to the propagation of the signal over multiple paths and amplitude distortion..

The Quanta product family 5 is equipped with all the necessary mechanisms to maintain stable radio connectivity, such as the automatic retry request feature, which is activated in case of data loss during signal propagation (ARQ), minimizes the influence of interference, Etc.

If there is interference in the operating frequency of other devices, Instant DFS technology automatically changes the center frequency without interrupting communication.

The project has been implemented in partnership with Baylanys communications provider Telecom and Technology together with the company Antares Engineering, responsible for assembly and installation.

"The Russian vendor's solutions are capable of providing high-resolution real-time video streaming with minimal delay.. We are very happy that our efforts were successful, and we were also convinced that with Infinet solutions we can solve the most complex technical tasks of our customers", said Yuri Kim, CEO of Baylanys Telecom and Technology.
