Provider of Backhaul and Broadband Wireless Solutions RADWIN has announced that it was chosen by the City of Colombo in Brazil for a large-scale Digital City project aimed at improving public safety.

“Our focus was to meet the needs of the municipality by implementing the latest technology. We also wanted to ensure system longevity and support for future system expansion in accordance with city growth,” said Douglas Machado de Souza, director of the monitoring department for the City of Colombo.



The City of Colombo chose RADWIN’s links because the high capacity video surveillance transmission surpassed all other equipment, technologically and commercially, Machado de Souza said.

Machado de Souza said that the unique architecture of RADWIN's multiple Point-to-Point links assured high performance and secured video quality that enabled the municipality to detect and respond in real time to emergencies at the event location.

RADWIN’s links transmit real time, high resolution video from surveillance cameras, situated across the city, back to the municipality control center. At the center, the information is accordingly monitored and processed.

Moreover, the company’s wireless links also connect municipality offices by providing a high-speed connection, said company officials. These links were deployed in a multiple Point-to-Point configuration to provide dedicated capacity to numerous sites from one central hub, said company officials.

Brazil based integrator FABTEC was responsible for the successful design and implementation of the project. Fabiano Sales, director general at FABTEC, said that throughout the project, RADWIN has provided great support as well as using installation techniques that promise a very high level of operating performance.

“FABTEC has achieved its goal by partnering with RADWIN who provided a great technical proposition for a world class solution in a very competitive commercial proposal. Congratulations to RADWIN,” Sales said.

RADWIN delivers wireless backhaul and broadband access solutions in the sub-6GHz space, empowering carriers and service providers to connect subscribers everywhere.

Wilson Conti, managing director for Mercosul at RADWIN, said that the company’s wireless solutions have been deployed in dozens of Municipality and Digital City projects around the world.

“They have been installed in complex sites in record time while acquiring a vital combination of high capacity connectivity and security at very competitive prices,” Conti said.

Earlier this month, RADWIN released a solution that provides high capacity wireless connectivity for moving trains.
