Networking of Open Spaces and Mobile Objects
Looking for the maximum possible competitive advantage, companies are expressing the need for networking on open ground, extensive premises and mobile objects. But: Laying network cables requires massive effort, is prohibitively expensive, and does not cater for mobility. Alternatives are the order of the day.
Solutions
Outdoor wireless LAN solutions from LANCOM enable outside areas and mobile objects to be fully networked without cables:
- Wireless connectivity for webcams and surveillance cameras.
- Construction companies can monitor the progress of large-scale projects over wireless for realtime comparison with the planning.
- Container terminal operators can optimize their inventory management via WLAN, and benefit from continuous contact with their employees via Voice over WLAN anywhere on their extensive premises.
- Railways benefit from greater passenger safety when entering and leaving trains thanks to video over WLAN.
- Ski regions integrate cable cars and ski-lifts into their networks via wireless.
