Technical Theatre No 1			Session Sponsor
Date	Thursday 29th January 2009
Time	10.30 - 12.30
Description	Wireless technology is proving more and more popular by providing scalable and robust solutions which can provide huge financial benefits to cabling. This session takes a look at both technical and operational consideration when evaluating, selecting and deploying such technology. We also look at the current trend of utilising mobile devices for the viewing alarm images and examine how such technology works along with reviewing actual case studies.   The 2 hour session will cover the following areas:                      Designing a wireless solution Architecture and deployment considerations Utilising mobile devices as a valuable security tool Identifying and delivering operating benefits Regulatory issues and codes of practice Mission critical nature and secure signalling Future trends and developments

Title	Why wireless? - IP Connectivity
Speaker	John Earley - Marketing Manager,
Company	Metronet UK
Description	•     An understanding of the technologies available •     Network design considerations •     Application demands and how to address them •     Delivering mobility solutions This is a discussion of wireless technologies (mesh, MP, PtP) and how they can be used (alone or together) to create scalable, robust networks for mobile and fixed surveillance applications. Focussing on the technical merits of each technology and reference to real deployment examples to illustrate how wireless adds a real value proposition.

Title	Understanding Topology
Speaker	Umberto Malesci - President
Company	Fluidmesh Networks
Description	•     Lately wireless network Technologies •     Different topologies of wireless networks •     Point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and mesh •     Mesh wireless networks for CCTV applications Wireless networks topologies from the traditional point-to-multipoint networks to the state-of-the-art mesh architecture. Wireless networks can be designed with mainly three different topologies: point-to-point , point-to-multipoint and mesh . All the aforementioned topologies have advantages depending on the specific application and site we are working on. Lately wireless networks based on the mesh topology gained a lot of traction in security and CCTV applications because of the absence of any single point of failure and because of their intrinsic reliability and redundancy. On the other hand, point to point links and point to multipoint networks are still very common in smaller applications or in sites where we are unable to create multiple wireless paths for data and video streams.

Title	How to Leverage Communications Infrastructure
Speaker	Halam Rose - Technical Manager,
Company	Vianet Ltd.
Description	•     The options and choices of carriers for communications   •     GPRS and 3G for wide area coverage in remote locations •     Wireless communications in both urban and rural environments •     How to combine technologies to provide greater resilience The options and choices of carriers for communications are more divers than ever before and it has been expanded recently with the introduction of wireless connections such as GPRS and 3G for wide area coverage in remote locations.  During this seminar, Vianet will explore the applications for wireless communications in both urban and rural environments and discuss recent projects where these technologies have been deployed to support a wide range of different applications.  This will include a review of critical applications where property or life might be threatened and how it is possible to combine technologies to provide greater resilience and fail-safe communications using multiple carriers and multiple communications technologies.

Title	What has mobile technology to offer?
Speaker	David Evans – Product Development Manager,
Company	Amplicon
Description	•     Connecting to remote IP cameras and DVRs •     Cellular routers & modems •     Specialist SIM cards for security applications •     Bandwidth comparison •     Application examples in CCTV and ANPR   Using 3G & GPRS in security systems - This presentation provides a technical and commercial overview of cellular systems and how the technology has evolved since the first GSM network was deployed in the UK almost 20 years ago. The current trend towards fast wireless connectivity using 3G and HSDPA is providing an excellent opportunity for CCTV system integrators to provide high bandwidth video links using existing cellular infrastructure. This can save the cost of expensive wireless infrastructure or fibre-optic links and effectively provides a serial or Ethernet cable the length and breadth of the globe! This unbiased discussion will provide participants with all the basic knowledge required to connect to IP cameras, DVRs, video servers, serial devices and any other networked device anywhere that a mobile phone signal can be received.
