Assured Communications for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
To meet the needs of expanding ITS systems, there is an increasing demand for engineered, secure, assured communications® networks. Harris ITS solutions provide a deployable wireless network based on a single unified network that can support the ITS technologies within a transportation agency's strategic plan.
Integrated Corridor Management
Integrated corridor management systems reduce surface transportation congestion through real-time data delivered to management centers from locations difficult to access. Harris VIDA Broadband provides a wireless IP backbone to stream data from the hardest to reach locations over its secured wireless network to your management center.

Engineered Systems Approach
Integrated wired and licensed wireless networks are an engineered systems approach to enabling safety and mobility on the roads, while the selection of the right technologies and partners is paramount to the successful long-term deployment of ITS.

“We tested a number of wireless broadband solutions to determine the most reliable and cost-effective technology to transmit video back to our operations center, and Harris’ VIDA Broadband was the one that best performed to our satisfaction. Since VIDA Broadband uses the WiMAX protocol, the system reduces the potential for interference and provides the assured quality of service we were looking for. The other systems we evaluated relied on WiFi or other proprietary technologies that used unlicensed frequencies and were susceptible to interference.”
