MG Squared

The 2022 FIFA World Cup tournament, taking place in Qatar from 21 November to 18 December, has already produced a winner, as visitors to the MG Squared stand here at Intertraffic will see.

MG Squared has two innovations here in Charlotte: an Ethernet connector that consistently delivers high-quality multi-GigaBit Ethernet signals simultaneously to as many as six, 4K resolution, PTZ cameras; and a newly developed custom six-camera mount called The Beetle.

When Vanderbilt University needed a camera lowering device that could consistently deliver a high-quality constant Ethernet signal simultaneously to six – 4K resolution – PTZ cameras, MG Squared was the top of the class. Additionally, when Vanderbilt University needed a custom, heavy-duty lowering device mount that would strategically secure and position six cameras on a single lowering device, MG Squared’s team, led by Jeffrey Watson, brought to life “The Beetle”.

The PA Turnpike is an East–West toll highway operated by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) in the State of Pennsylvania. First opened in 1940, the PTC is now tasked with managing traffic over 550 miles, including from the border with Ohio in the west all the way to the border with New Jersey in the east. This challenge is made easier with strategically deployed cameras throughout the PA Turnpike footprint.

The TMC Team at Caltrans District 03, have successfully deployed numerous camera lowering devices (CLDs) from MG Squared (MG2).

When an innovative solution to maintain cameras while minimising lane closures and bucket trucks on the new Tappan Zee Bridge, (formally known as the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge) was needed, MG Squared answered the call. Over 60 custom designed camera lowering devices are in operation on this remarkable structure, spanning the Hudson between Tarrytown and Nyack New York, just north of New York city. This project highlights, once again, how the team at MG Squared can improve surveillance camera maintainability while boosting camera efficiency and overall safety.
