High-Speed Video Offload for Bus Surveillance Systems

The Solution

The transit authority deployed Omnitron’s RuggedNet® 8-Port Managed PoE Switch with 10Gb uplinks as the core of their depot networking infrastructure.

Solution Architecture:

• Buses automatically connect to high-speed wireless access points (2.5Gbps) upon entering the depot.
• Multiple APs are strategically installed throughout the yard to ensure full coverage and simultaneous offload from multiple buses.
• Each AP is powered by the RuggedNet PoE switch, delivering up to 100W per port, ensuring reliable operation of high-performance wireless equipment.
• The RuggedNet switch aggregates traffic and uplinks via 10Gb fiber back to the depot’s central office.
• Video data is transferred to video management servers for archiving, indexing, and future retrieval.

Key Product Features:

• 8-Port Managed PoE Switch
• Up to 100W PoE per port (PoE++)
• 10Gb SFP+ fiber uplinks for high-bandwidth aggregation
• Hardened design for extended temperature environments
• Advanced management capabilities for network control and monitoring

The Results

The deployed solution delivered immediate and measurable benefits:

• High-Speed Data Offload
  Wireless connectivity combined with 10Gb fiber uplinks enables rapid transfer of large video files, minimizing bus turnaround time.
• Reliable Long-Distance Connectivity
  Fiber uplinks from RuggedNet switches ensure consistent performance across the entire depot, regardless of distance.
• Simplified Infrastructure with PoE
  High-power PoE eliminates the need for separate power sources for wireless APs, reducing installation complexity and cost.
• Operational Efficiency
  Automated data offload removes the need for manual retrieval, improving workflow and reducing labor.
• Scalable and Future-Ready Network
  The solution supports additional buses, higher-resolution video, and next-generation wireless technologies.
