RADWIN, the global provider of Backhaul and Broadband Wireless Solutions, announced that its solutions were deployed by three municipalities in Santiago, Chile for high-speed video surveillance transmission. RADWIN's high-capacity Point-to-Point systems are used to transfer video from HD cameras installed in the cities of Pudahuel, Penalolen and Valparaiso back to these municipalities' control centers. Transworld - RADWIN's certified distributor in Chile, together with Petric - a leading video surveillance system integrator - were in charge of project design and implementation.
