558 AMG Systems has unveiled Skywave II which the company says is especially adapted for transmitting video and telemetry in the 5.5 GHz to 5.7 GHz licence-free band.

Offering various configurations from simple point-to-point to multiple camera applications, Skywave II comes with two different options: using IP cameras, in which case customers only require the radio network components from AMG, and NVR software in the receiving control centre. It is also possible to use standard analogue cameras with the addition of IP encoders and decoders from 3rd party suppliers.

Furthermore, it is possible to construct a hybrid system with a mix of IP and analogue cameras.

Skywave II also comes prepared for the addition of a PoE injector or a PoE enabled switch.

"Skywave II is an ideal solution for projects where you have a transmission section without fibre," says AMG's Sara Bullock. "This could be on a section of a highway where there is no ready access to fibre, which is often the case in urban areas," she said, adding that this is the case for some parts of the solution the company has supplied for Dublin City Council in Ireland where they're running a comprehensive ITS and traffic management system in and around Dublin.
