Applications
Electric Power utilities
Originally designed for the unique needs
of utilities, the TN1Ue system supports a
wide range of specialty traffic, including
teleprotection (direct transfer trip, pilot
wire, and IEEE C37.94 optical interface
to protection relays), surveillance video,
substation automation, Ethernet WAN/IP
and telephony.
High system availability is provided
through redundant common equipment
and compliance with ITU-T SDH
standards for path switched ring
protection architecture.
But the TN1Ue goes beyond SDH standards,
offering the industry's fastest path protection
switching (<3 ms), and incorporating special
design characteristics that allow it to meet IEC
RFI and SWC standards for operation in harsh
utility environments.
Transportation Corridors
For highway, roads, bridges, tunnels,
rail transit, freight railway, and airport
a p p l i c a t i o n s t h e T N 1 U e s y s t e m
cost-effectively integrates services
previously provided by proprietary and
legacy standards based equipment. Now
these services can be combined to receive
the full benefits of a SDH network.
For applications such as video surveillance,
fare collection, passenger information
systems, train control, emergency voice
and signalling, the TN1Ue is the optical
communications product of choice.
TN1Ue networks support both 48 Mb/s
and 12 Mb/s video wide area networks
(WANs). Each analog video source (camera,
VCR, DVD, etc.) is digitized with a user
configurable compression algorithm for
bit-rate bandwidth management and then
integrated into a shared video WAN.
For incident detection in surveillance
applications, intelligent bandwidth allocation
allows more bandwidth to be instantly
assigned to specific cam eras, permitting
a higher resolution and more frames per
second. When required, audio and data
channels may be transported with the video.
The TN1Ue video interface addresses the
issues of quality versus bandwidth by
efficiently transporting video signals.
An optional remote video interface
accessory is also available, which cost
effectively extends video capability up to 30
km from a TN1Ue node via fibre optic cable.
Pipelines and Industrial Facilities
The rugged design, compact size and low
power consumption of the TN1Ue also make
it the ideal optical communications solution
for oil, gas, refined products, water and slurry
pipelines. Field proven industrial applications
include electrical distribution protection and
control in mines, as well as SCADA for onshore
or offshore oil and gas production fields.
The TN1Ue SDH Multiplexer creates greater
value for its user by carrying a multitude
of services such as low speed polling
data, SCADA, power measurement data,
video surveillance, Ethernet WAN/IP and
PBX phone drop extensions over a single
network.
