asmag spoke to Ofer Nagar, General Manager, North Asia and Thailand at RADWIN, one of the companies exhibiting in Secutech Thailand about its plans for the show and the Thai market.
Video surveillance is a major pillar in safe and smart city projects around the world. The availability of cheaper and better cameras has allowed cities to deploy cameras, LPRs and other systems to ensure the citizens’ safety. However, apart from deploying cameras, cities must take into account the best way to connect these cameras to the command and control centers.
Choosing the right transmission solution is critical. Without it, a million-dollar investment in cameras can go down the drain if the command center doesn’t get real-time HD video.
Wireless communication systems are often chosen since they are the most economical and fastest to deploy in comparison to laying fiber optics. asmag spoke to Ofer Nagar, General Manager, North Asia and Thailand at
RADWIN, one of the companies exhibiting in Secutech Thailand about its plans for the show and the Thai market.

Ofer Nagar,
General Manager,
North Asia and Thailand,
RADWIN
Ofer: We were very involved in the carrier market a few years back and have large networks installed with leading operators. Now we are focusing more on the vertical markets for security projects, smart cities and public transportation, working together with our local partners.
asmag: What are the most important vertical markets that you are targeting in Thailand?
Ofer: In Thailand we are focused on projects in the Safe and Smart City space, mainly for high speed connectivity and video surveillance applications. Other verticals include Oil & Gas, Ports, National Parks and Rail and Metros.
We see a greater need for high speed broadband connectivity and high definition video surveillance transmission for safe and smart cities as well as on broadband-on-the-move for rail and metro systems. With vast experience in deploying multiple connectivity solutions for security, public safety, municipality and transportation applications, we can better address the need for high quality, high definition video surveillance for fixed, nomadic and mobile applications.
asmag: Are you planning to launch any new products or services at the show?
Ofer: We will demo some of our existing products that have been used in similar deployments around the world. For example, our products have already been deployed by the Asian and European police bureaus to transmit high-quality video to the police control center. We are also planning to leverage this great venue to launch a new solution for the smart city market (come visit our booth to learn more!)
asmag: Any specific products you are demo-ing in the show?
Ofer: We will be demonstrating three main solutions at the show.
RADWIN 2000: A sub-6 GHz point-to-point solution which delivers 10 to 750 Mbps and is ideal for carriers and vertical markets that require high capacity backhaul and access connectivity.
