Case Study: CSi (Integrated Security & Communications Systems) achieves reliable HD wireless CCTV backhaul and expanded Allentown camera deployment with Proxim Wireless

CSi Deploys Proxim Broadband Radios for CCTV in Support of Allentown's Re-vitalization Project

CSi, an integrated security and communications systems provider in Allentown, PA, needed a reliable way to backhaul video from a city revitalization CCTV program that now totals more than 300 cameras (175 connected wirelessly) and includes HD PTZ cameras that require 4 Mbps of continuous bandwidth for night-time license‑plate capture. After testing four vendors, CSi selected Proxim Wireless for its ability to backhaul CCTV with no video degradation and for strong value per megabit.

Proxim Wireless supplied rugged broadband/Tsunami radios with broad software‑selectable frequency support (IP67-rated) to connect the networked cameras, delivering consistent HD video quality and deployment flexibility. The Proxim solution enabled 175 wireless camera links, preserved video integrity for critical monitoring, reduced per‑megabit costs, and freed funds to deploy additional cameras to supplement the police force citywide.
