Case Study: Tenerife Tram achieves seamless real-time HD video surveillance and in-tram WiFi with Proxim Wireless

Proxim Solution Enables Seamless Surveillance Along The Tenerife Tram Line, Spain

Tenerife Tram, the light rail system serving the Canary Islands, needed a reliable way to deliver high‑definition CCTV feeds from cameras on trams, along tracks, in tunnels and at stations to a central monitoring center. Wired connections were impractical across the network and cameras on trams required mobility support at speeds up to 80 mph, so Tenerife Tram engaged Proxim Wireless to evaluate and supply a wireless video surveillance solution using its point‑to‑multipoint outdoor wireless systems, base stations/subscriber units, WORP protocol and FastConnect™ mobility.

Proxim Wireless deployed a point‑to‑multipoint network of base stations and subscriber units to stream real‑time, high‑resolution video from onboard and trackside cameras, delivering seamless handoff at tram speeds and resilient performance in harsh RF conditions. The Proxim Wireless solution enabled rapid, low‑cost deployment, reduced capital and recurring expenses, provided HD live feeds to regional security centers, and also supported services like ticketing and passenger Wi‑Fi—proving reliable video transport even at up to 80 mph.
