Network infrastructure for mission-critical ITS applications

ITS operators face significant challenges reducing congestion and incidents. New congestion monitoring and control systems require a robust mission-critical data network capable of supporting millions of IoT devices — some in remote and inhospitable areas where infrastructure must be installed automatically and operate in extreme temperatures and environments.

  • Improve traveler experience by reducing congestion and delays
  • Increase safety with cameras, automated speed reduction, and incident detection
  • IoT sensors detecting incidents with CPaaS-enabled operational notification
  • Hardened Ethernet switches for remote and harsh roadside environments

Simplified operations with Shortest Path Bridging

The network must be easy to manage and maintain, which makes Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) the clear choice for many operators. SPB simplifies day-to-day operations and fault-finding compared to traditional protocols like Spanning Tree. Automated onboarding of devices and long-term support commitments are key elements in increasing operational efficiency for highway and road networks.

  • SPB simplifying day-to-day operations and fault finding
  • Centralized provisioning and automated device deployment
  • Support for connected buses, autonomous vehicles, and smart infrastructure
  • Long-term support ensuring continued operations and technology evolution

Capabilities

Purpose-built for intelligent transportation systems (its)

Enterprise-grade technology designed for your specific environment.

Congestion Management & Monitoring

Implement congestion monitoring and control systems across highway networks, reducing congestion to increase safety and security for travelers with real-time traffic data and automated responses.

Safety & Incident Detection

Deploy cameras to detect accidents and incidents, automated speed reduction systems connected via IP, CPaaS-enabled incident notification, and sensors monitoring speed variations, temperature, and mechanical defects.

Mission-Critical Road Networks

Hardened Ethernet switches for remote and harsh roadside environments, industrial switches for mission-critical applications, and core switching for centralized data processing supporting millions of IoT devices.

Automated Operations

Centralized provisioning and automated device deployment with Shortest Path Bridging (SPB), simplified day-to-day operations, automated onboarding, and long-term support capabilities reducing operational burden.

“The new solution makes it simpler to provide the best services throughout the 25 billion miles travelled by our road users annually, providing the right information for safe travel and ultimately reducing the time spent on the road. Alcatel-Lucent went above and beyond throughout the entire process.”
