Core Competency |
| Solutions for Intelligent Transportation Systems |
| Various sensors, controllers and video cameras are used in
traffic monitoring and control systems. These systems are
networked via IP over Ethernet. EtherWAN manufacturers
Ethernet Connectivity products designed and tested to
operate in harsh outdoor environments for use in transportation systems. |
|
|
| Solutions for IP Security |
| IP networks are being used and deployed to connect the elements of security and surveillance and Access Control systems. Ethernet is the underlying network technology for IP networks. EtherWAN supplies a full line of Ethernet connectivity products designed to provide network services for security and access control systems. |
|
|
 |
| Solutions for Electric Utility |
| "Smart Grid" is a term that is being tossed about to indicate we are making the electric grid more efficient and able to use Renewable energy sources more effeciently. The basic premise is to design a computer network, using Internet Protocol (IP), that parallels the electric grid transmitting information from sensors and Controllers. EtherWAN has designed a line of products that comply with specifications required to operate in the electrical grid. |
|
|
| Solutions for Factory Automation |
| New generation equipment in factory automation utilizes IP as
the protocol of choice. Ethernet-based networking infrastructure
provides real-time data accessibility. EtherWAN provides Ethernet connectivity products to connect legacy equipment to modern control systems, offering the ability to monitor systems in harsh environments. |
