Bus Incident Monitoring System

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) engineers have developed communications devices using technologies such as:

  • Wireless

  • RF (radio frequency)

  • Cellular

  • Digital

  • Analog telephone service

  • Digital line protocols

  • Other enabling technologies

Applications include:

 
 

Wired Telecommunications Monitoring and Logging System

  • Transmitting streaming data

  • Video and audio in real-time

  • Communicating sensor readings

  • Monitoring telecommunications traffic

  • Analyzing telecommunications traffic

  • Converting communications transmissions to cross a non-compatible interface

SwRI engineers provide the following services to support client communications device needs:
