Signals

• Siemens - Open Transport Network (OTN)
  OTN (Open Transport Network) is Siemens Atea’s flexible private communication network, based on the fiber optic technology. OTN puts your entire world on a fiber! Today, OTN probably is the most powerful multiplexer for large, private environments with mixed communication needs, such as railways, metros, light rails, mines, airports, pipelines, and so on. OTN is exactly what its name implies: Open: It can handle nearly all existing physical interface standards, but also very specific communication protocols in special environments, via its interface cards. Transport: It carries different types of information (such as voice, data, LAN and video) completely transparently throughout the network, and this with high availability. Network: It is based on fiber optic technology in a future-proof network infrastructure, spanning any distance. The OTN system offers a capacity of 150 Mbps (OTN-150), 600 Mbps (OTN-600) and 2.5 Gbps (OTN-2500). Just pick the superhighway that suits you... Upgrading is a piece of cake. This offers our customers an excellent migration path. Info : otn@...

Webcams : United States

• Cape Cod, MA
  A close view of the railroad lift bridge on the Cape Cod Canal. The Vertical Lift Rail Bridge is in full operation and behind that is the Bourne Bridge. Hang around and you're bound to see a ship on its voyage through the Cape Cod Canal. The lift bridge is interesting, however you'll rarely see a train on this cam.
