Nortel selected Blue Vector Systems' line of sensor networking appliances as part of its next generation of municipal wireless solutions.

Nortel's municipal wireless solutions will deliver a range of services including automated meter reading, digital video surveillance, asset tracking, fleet monitoring and video conferencing.

Blue Vector Systems' network appliances will be integrated with Nortel's solution to control a wide variety of sensors including RFID, global positioning system (GPS), and video cameras.

As an example, RFID and global positioning sensors can be used by various city departments to discover the location of a fleet and its spare parts in real time.

Rules can be easily configured to control data integration and worker notifications, and easily accessed via a secure web interface.

Nortel is showcasing the municipal wireless solution at a dedicated lab located in Research Triangle Park, N.C. The goal of the lab is to create an ecosystem of partners and technologies that combine to provide complete municipal solutions.
