Better connected with copper
California's state capital, Sacramento, is by no means alone in trying to manage its modern traffic systems over a legacy network built on copper wire. To give it the dataflow required to support its IP-based traffic cameras and controllers, the city is using an Ethernet over copper solution from Actelis Networks. Charles Clawson, director of enterprise sales at Actelis, explains how increasing numbers of cities are following suit.
