  • Uncategorized
  • no comments

Ethernet Converter technology has improved over the years and there are a number of utilities that benefit from converter equipment provided at CesCom. The converter enables an individual or company to access USB peripheral devices across a network as if they were connected locally on your current device.

Creates Longer Connections

A USB/Ethernet converter enables users to extend the length of their connections. Ethernet cables are known for being much longer than a standard USB cable. With an ethernet converter, you can utilise the much longer ethernet cables to connect two or more devices across your network. This will enable a data connection between these devices that would otherwise not be possible or easy without a converter.

Decreases Installation Complexity

Some applications in various industries require quick installation and uninstallation of equipment, like kiosks during special events. Instances like these require much quicker and more efficient setup in order to be effective with the time available. USB converters can reduce the time it takes to set up equipment.

Wirelessly Access Standard USB Peripherals

Using a converter, you can connect certain USB enabled devices directly to the router and network. Your company can increase accessibility to data, information and other files when hard-drives and other storage devices are connected with an ethernet converter. Files can be backed up and accessed at anytime without needing to move the storage device around the office.

Increases Security and Surveillance Applications

Having the ability to connect and access devices across a large distance, as long as you have access to a specific network you can connect to specific security related surveillance devices. You can install cameras and sensors to increase the security of a specific location while giving you access to these devices at any time.

Convenient for Older Technologies

The equipment of some businesses have become dated and may not have the necessary ports to support modern technology. While upgrading hardware is often the best route to take, there may be information on an older computer or component that needs to be extracted. Ethernet ports may be more common in older equipment, depending on the date of manufacture. In other instances, finances may prevent a company from doing an upgrade. An ethernet adapter will provide a cheaper alternative before an upgrade is necessary.

Ethernet and USB converters have increased the versatility of businesses and individuals through their ability to convert connections between two popular cords and connections. Ethernet is essential for connecting internet-powered devices and USB is growing in popularity as a connector among most consumer and industrial devices. Keep them together with the help of an USB/Ethernet Converter.

Any of our engineers or experts can assist you with finding the compatible adaptors, Ethernet and USB convertors or any networking needs you may have. Please contact us today to help you better find exactly what your company needs and let us answer any questions you may have.

Importance of Air Traffic Control

When the general public thinks about an airport, the long, iconic runway and massive air control tower come to mind. However, not everyone understands just how important the giant air control tower is. Inside is a crew of air control technicians that have trained for years to increase safety in the skies for airplanes and citizens around the airport.

Importance of Air Traffic Control

ATC, short for air traffic control, is a ground-based service provided in the traditionally tall air control towers. Individuals, known as controllers, who work in these towers are vital for safely directing and navigating airplanes through the local airspace, to land and during take-off.

Air traffic controllers, or air traffic control officers, have an extensive amount of education and experience that enable them to command the skies with confidence. An air traffic controller applies separation rules to the aircraft that they direct. Separation rules are used to regulate the distance between airplanes and aircraft by requiring a minimum distance between them. This is to increase safety and reduce unnecessary risk for pilots and passengers.

In the ATC profession, controllers must have the capacity to make split-second decisions that will affect hundreds of lives. Air traffic controllers have one of the most mentally demanding jobs in the world in order to prevent aerial crashes. This is accomplished by unparalleled levels of communication, quick mathematical calculations, spacial awareness and the ability to keep the flow of air traffic moving smoothly.

Tools of the Trade

The air traffic control industry uses a large array of technologically advanced equipment in order to keep the runway and skies safe.

Radar Data Processing & Display Systems (RDPDS)

With the help of an RDPDS, air traffic controllers can process data from primary and secondary radars in order to accurately depict the position of aircraft and relatable information (e.g., callsign, category of aircraft, ground speed, altitude). This basic, but important information helps controllers to properly control the flow of aircraft to and from the airport.

Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR)

This radar uses radio wave reflection within its effective range in order to detect and provide aircraft range and bearings.

Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR)

During wartime, the secondary surveillance radar (SSR) was created in order to create the Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) system to determine if aircraft is friendly or hostile. Unlike the PSR, the SSR requires a specific transponder on the target aircrafts in order to identify them. In Australia, Mode C on SSR transponders can transmit the altitude to the radio tower through the use of on-board equipment.

Air Traffic Control 8 Channel RS422 Splitter

There are numerous tools, radars, sensors and equipment that make air traffic control a possibility. Equipment like the surface movement radar, surface movement guidance and control systems, advanced SMGCS and more are all vital parts of air traffic control.

An air traffic control 8 channel RS422 splitter enables important air traffic control radars and equipment to communicate with one another while providing vital information to air traffic controllers. This particular 8 channel RS422 splitter provides 8 signal outputs of RS422 data from either an RS232 or RS422 processed radar data and clock signal input. These inputs are based on the RS530 standard, according to the DTE device, and may be monitored via the front panel of an DB25F connector within RS232’s protocol.

We here at CesCom are proud to sell air traffic control equipment. If you are interested in learning more about our products, please contact our customer service team and one of our specialist will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Cloud computing, or the cloud, is relatively new technology to many companies today. However, the terminology of the cloud has been around for many decades. Today, the cloud connects numerous devices together and enables on-demand requests for information and processing. Without the cloud, individuals and businesses are required to access data and information manually.

As data sizes and data consumption continue to increase for all types of industries, the capacity limits of hard-drives are challenged. A company is left with the choice of purchasing larger quantities or higher capacities for their storage, or choosing to utilise the cloud for their data storage and computing needs.

History of the Cloud

The cloud, or cloud computing, dates as far back as 1970 with large companies like IBM and DEC. In the earliest years, cloud computing was originally referred to as time-sharing through the use of “virtual machines.”

A couple of decades later in 1990, telecommunication companies began to offer virtual private network (VPN) services at a fraction of the cost. These companies were able to work efficiently by balancing server utilisation via switching network traffic in order to control network bandwidth.

In recent years, cloud computing has become more prevalent in both consumer and business markets. An emphasis has been placed on providing quality of service guarantees to the infrastructures in order to provide a real-time environment for cloud computing.

Benefits of the Cloud

As cloud computing becomes modernised, its effectiveness to both consumers and businesses has increased. Companies are finding new ways to utilise cloud computing in order to enhance their business while saving costs.

Improved Accessibility
Businesses can access their data anytime and anywhere there is internet connection. You no longer need to have the physical hard-drive storage in the office in order to access an important file or secure data.

Stronger Security
As cloud computing companies develop their software and the technology of the cloud, security of your information and data continues to increase. As these advancements in technology come into play, you will enjoy immediate benefits of tighter security.

Improved Reliability
Working with data and information within the company, you run the risk of data loss during the most critical moments in your business. If you experience a power outage or hard-drive failure, your data could instantly be wiped out. With the cloud, your information is always available and is always backed up, even during company outages and hardware failure.

Amplify Your Cloud Computing Benefits
With CesCom data communication products, you can further enhance the benefits of cloud computing in your business. By using an RS232-to RS422/485 converter or a USB/Ethernet converter, you can combine numerous devices within your network to take advantage of the cloud’s services and capabilities.
