Westermo – A Worldwide Road Network As road traffic volumes increase worldwide new technologies are being used in traffic management systems to increase both traffic flow and safety. Reliable data communications are vital to keep our ever increasingly busy world moving. Westermo have many years experience in both data communication technologies and roadside applications. Our real expertise is in developing products that can function in these often harsh environments by meeting the widest temperature specifications and offering high reliability by using only high quality components. Westermo...

Wolverine Series The Wolverine series utilises SHDSL technology on twisted pair cables to establish a high-speed remote connection.  Instead of needing to install fibre cable, the SHDSL technology can provide a cost-effective solution by using old or existing cables.  Data rates up to 15.3 Mbit/s and an operating distance of up to 15 kilometres (9.3 miles) at lower data rates can be achieved.  Depending on which unit you choose, there are also features like a built-in four port switch to provide a complete network solution, redundant ring protocol with the worlds fastest recovery time...

Applications RedFox Series The RedFox is a high performance industrial Ethernet switch with enhanced routing functionality, in a single robust unit. A single RedFox Ethernet Switch allows you to build cost effective, secure and reliable networks that would previously have required several different units. The feature-rich firmware and highly specified hardware provide flexibility and enhanced performance when building complex networks. …… Redundant ring on the SHDSL interface …… Advanced Diagnostics …… VLAN support and IGMP Snooping …… VPN support and IGMP/v3 …… Static Routing and Firewall...

Wolverine Ethernet Extender The Wolverine family of Ethernet extenders allows effective Ethernet networks to be created over long distances (up to 15 km) at data rates up to 15.3 Mbit/s.  The SHDSL technology makes it possible to reuse many types of pre-existing copper cables which can lead to considerable financial savings. Dependent on cable characteristics, distances up to 15 km (9.3 mi) can be achieved.  The Wolverine is powered by the  WeOS operating system allowing complex networking functions to be easily configured. For simple applications, no configuration is required making the...

Compact Ethernet Switch The Lynx family cosists of layer 2 and 3 industrial Ethernet switches, powered by the  Westermo  WeOS network operating system. Lynx is the most compact switch on the market and has the lowest power requirements in this class of switch. Lynx has 8 10/100 Mbit/s ports in addition to 2 ports which can be fitted with Gbit or 100 Mbit SFP transceivers. Lynx DSS has 4 10/100 Mbit/s ports in addition to 2 ports which can be fitted with Gbit or 100 Mbit SFP transceivers. One of the two serial ports is configured for RS-232 the other one can be configured for RS-232 or...

Application story Traffic Warning System Saves Lives Product provider Throughout the busy Danish road network there are a number of recently installed advanced traffic management solutions that keep the traffic moving freely and above all safely.  The Danish Ministry of Traffic have the ultimate responsibility for the roads in Denmark, but many of the safety and automation solutions are designed and installed by companies like Swarco. Swarco were founded in Austria at the end of the 60’s, but have grown to be a global provider of traffic automation solutions.  Today the Swarco group...

Application story Control Cabinet Traffic Sensors The countersinked warning lights are only visible to vehicles coming from the “wrong” direction. Warning lights and they will hopefully stop the car.  This system has been installed in seven different locations and has already been put to the test on several occasions. A sensor in the road at the beginning of the highway entry triggers an alarm if a car passes it from the wrong direction. Emergency warning lights in the road are immediately activated and start flashing to notify the “wrong turners” that they are driving in the wrong...

Application story Gothenburg Uphill Slope (Road 40, Sweden) The Gothenburg uphill slope between Jönköping and Gothenburg has been known to be a stretch of road to avoid during wintry conditions. At wintertime, the slippery uphill road has lead to traffic jams and dangerous traffic situations. Swedish National Road Administration built a heated third lane at the steepest part of the slope to avoid congestion of the traffic. Alongside of the road there is a fibre backbone that connects control and monitoring equipment such as traffic surveillance cameras, weather equipment and control devices...
