Reston, Va., May 12, 2009 – Wi4Net, a division of CelPlan Technologies, Inc. and a leading provider of integrated wireless broadband and video surveillance solutions, today announced the implementation of a wireless video surveillance network for the City of Modesto, California. The first phase of the project implements cameras throughput the downtown section of the City and features a full-scale monitoring center at the Police Department.
“After significant redevelopment efforts in our downtown area over recent years, we are extremely proud to add this safety tool to further spur economic development and improve security in this part of our City,” said Lieutenant Ron Cloward with the City of Modesto Police Department. “After a careful review process, CelPlan’s Wi4Net provided the City with clear benefits in areas of experience, technical specifications and cost.”
The project utilizes Wi4Net’s FlexiVideoTM product, incorporating the FlexiRadioTM wireless communications system. The solution features a multi-radio architecture to assure high system throughput and a superior level of predictability. The wireless camera units are provided with leading camera technology offering 35X optical zoom and multi-stream MPEG-4 encoding.
