Other Wireless Backhaul Applications

Commercial in Confidence

CCTV Application Example (Standalone Backhaul)

Utilisation of security systems and solutions using video and camera
monitoring increase rapidly
Close circuit television (CCTV) camera systems are one of the most deployed technologies for this purpose CCTV cameras require high throughput backhaul and transport connection from camera location sites to NOC and monitoring premises

Wireless backhaul is used widely as cost effective, secure and private

enterprise networking technology to transport CCTV video camera traffic
Many camera locations are best reached with wireless connectivity, as wired copper or fiber connections with appropriate communication terminals are not available for backhaul traffic Both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint network topologies are used with CCTV systems

Airspans AS.NET products offer unique high throughput services for

this application area
