97 Moxa unveiled new technologies to improve network reliability for smart transportation applications at the ITS America Annual Meeting and Expo. V-On “Video Always On” is a video stream recovery technology on Moxa’s latest Ethernet switches that provides 50 ms redundancy for multicast video streams when used with Moxa’s Turbo Ring or Turbo Chain.
“It can take several seconds for the video stream to resume after a network interruption even if the network itself recovers immediately,” explains Richard Wood, product manager at Moxa Americas. “With a simple configuration setting, Moxa’s V-On technology enables the video stream to resume almost as quickly as the network itself. This helps ensure the highest level of real-time reliability for mission-critical video surveillance applications.”

Four built-in Ethernet ports consolidate IP-based communications between the various onboard devices, sensors and cameras, and the built-in cellular interface transmits critical live data while in transit. When the vehicle is back at the lot or service center, the built-in Wi-Fi interface connects directly with the control center to share all accumulated onboard data.
“The combination of communication interfaces on the WDR-3124A makes it an ideal choice for fleet operators that are incorporating smart IP-based connectivity into their existing vehicles,” notes Wood.
Moxa makes the switches, routers and gateways, but now the company is putting all those pieces together as an end-to-end traffic management network.Moxa makes the switches, routers and gateways, but now the company is putting all those pieces together as an end-to-end traffic management network.
Moxa, the German producer of industrial automation products, will be showing a range of its products, including industrial Ethernet switches and industrial wireless AP devices with resilient self-healing Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain technology and Turbo Roaming, allowing ITS operators access to high performance wired or wireless Ethernet technology with good bandwidth. Other products include what Moxa describes as the world’s first serial device server for connecting legacy devices such as VMS.
