REDLINE
Redline’s RedMAX™ WiMAX Forum Certified® Products Provide
Turkish National Police with City-Wide Video Surveillance
The Challenge:
The Turkish Police in Kütahya city, Turkey, required a reliable, secure,
low cost and high-bandwidth network for their 24-hour city-wide
video surveillance project. The project entailed the deployment of
multiple video surveillance cameras throughout the city of Kütahya.
Deploying the high-capacity surveillance network posed a challenge
due to interference of urban obstacles, which necessitated the use
of many non-line-of-site (NLOS) network links.
The Solution:
Redline’s RedMAX™WiMAX Forum Certified® solution was chosen
for its ability to provide secure and reliable high-speed connections
in non-line-of-site conditions. Global Forte, Redline’s Certified
Integration Partner and a leading provider of Turkish-based broadband
wireless communication services, managed the RedMAX
network installation.
RedMAX base stations were deployed throughout the city along
with RedMAX SU-Os (Outdoor Subscriber Units). Redline’s
RedACCESS AN-80i products were used to backhaul the connection
to police headquarters.
The Result:
The Turkish police can now depend on a reliable high speed
network for improved video surveillance and enhanced public
protection. Redline’s RedMAX WiMAX video surveillance system
was first successfully implemented in the city of Simav within
Kütahya province in 2007 and has been in production since then.
After the deployment of the city-wide surveillance system in
Kütahya, Global Forte was chosen to replicate the solution in two
other Turkish cities, Tavsanlý and Gediz. Based on the success of this
WiMAX network in Kütahya, the police force in Ankara, Turkey’s
capital, are now examining the feasibility of a similar deployment.
How the Solution Works
Three RedMAX base stations were installed to achieve city-wide wireless coverage to connect the police department’s
video surveillance system. The base stations were installed at EGM (Emniyet Genel Müdürlügü–Turkish National Police),
Local and Germiyan sites.
A coverage of 17 km x 7 km has been created and achieved through the installation of base stations in Kütahya.
Within this area, 35 surveillance cameras (PTZ and Fixed) and 3 license plate recognition systems on 3 separate
highways with 12 fixed cameras have been deployed.
The central monitoring system for the network is situated at EGM. Each RedMAX base station is connected by a
RedACCESS AN-80i backhaul link. The EGM base station location consists of one RedMAX AN-100U sector controller
connected to two 60 degree antennas. Four movable cameras (2.5 Mbps/camera) are then connected to this sector
controller at the EGM through four SU-Os located at an average distance of 2.5 km (1 LOS and 3 NLOS).
The second site, Local, houses a base station that consists of three AN-100UX’s, two with one 60 degree antenna
each, and the third with two 60 degree antennas. Fixed and nomadic cameras are connected through 13 SU-Os (most
of them NLOS) and once again backhauled to EGM via Redline’s AN-80i.
The third site, Germiyan, is connected to EGM via a relay site. The base station at Germiyan transmits to a RedMAX
SU-O on the relay site, which in turn is connected to EGM via a RedCONNEX AN-80i backhaul unit.
