Houston deploys Siklu radios for video surveillance at Super Bowl LIVE
The city of Houston, Texas, has chosen Siklu to provide millimetre-wave wireless connectivity for the video surveillance system being used at Super Bowl LIVE (28 January to 5 February). The 10-day outdoor event in Houston is expected to draw more than one million visitors as part of the pre-game festivities.
Siklu’s EH-600TX radios are being used to transmit video surveillance from the east side of downtown Houston, which will host the Super Bowl LIVE festivities. The outdoor event includes entertainment, music and games and is being held over several city blocks near a 12-acre urban park.
The high level of wireless activity that will take place is expected to create network congestion, which Siklu’s radios will bypass by operating in the unoccupied, wide 60GHz spectrum, which is separate from traditional wireless consumer networks. Siklu’s millimetre wave radios use narrow beam technology, which eliminates interference from outside networks.
Siklu’s radios are part of a 36 megapixel camera deployment provided by Axis Communications, a PSIM system from Vidsys, and a video management system from Genetec, all of which are being deployed by the Houston Police Department to monitor Super Bowl LIVE.
