This is a primer datasheet from Datasat Communications on remote network infrastructure for video surveillance that helps detail a strong IP surveillance network environment.

Whether protecting a remote community or remote assets, effective surveillance is required to provide coverage over extended distances and often challenging terrain. Advances in IP traffic management technology allows for surveillance systems to become part of the same enterprise network infrastructure used for all voice and data communication needs.

The ability to rapidly install an effective surveillance solution for remote and temporary deployments without the cost and time constraints of a fixed-line infrastructure makes wireless networking extremely attractive for this type of security system. Unlike traditional CCTV networks that were single-purpose and proprietary, modern surveillance systems benefit from operating over enterprise IP networks.

In this way, organizations can provide highly sophisticated video surveillance capabilities over high performance, multi-service wireless networks supporting multiple applications and user groups on the same network infrastructure. Datasat Communications designs and delivers surveillance network infrastructures that delivers high quality video to static and mobile users while concurrently supporting secure enterprise voice and data applications.

Network management is simplified and operational costs are significantly reduced compared to fixed-line and proprietary alternatives.

Optimized for video content and featuring intelligent traffic management, Datasat Communications’ remote network infrastructure can be rapidly deployed, extended and re-deployed to another location as required.
In addition to their experience of delivering secure VSAT satellite systems into remote locations, the surveillance networks from Datasat Communications are formed around a range of wireless technologies designed around innovative Layer 3 architecture that extends the performance, security, manageability and reliability of your network infrastructure.

By deploying industry-leading quad-radio wireless routers, the network can use separate radios for application access and
wireless backhaul to deliver superior performance to single or dual-radio systems. Datasat Communications delivers an
802.11n, multi-radio architecture to provide capacity of up to 300Mbps per radio with virtually no performance degradation
between network hops. The latest 802.1x authentication support ensures enterprise-level security.

IP-based surveillance equipment can be connected like any other network device and the network extended quickly and cost-effectively – one camera at a time.

A single network provides complete multi-service operation and concurrent wireless backhaul over the license-free 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands. Advanced and intelligent network management provides consistent and reliable data throughout and automatic routing to eliminate single points of failure from the network.

While wireless provides an excellent solution for local, line-of-sight connectivity, satellite backhaul enables connectivity with remote control rooms or headquarters anywhere in the world. Satellite technology delivers a very high degree of maturity, reliability and security. In this way, we can deliver network availability of 99.95%.
