Are you curious about how <\/span>Patton\u2019s Ethernet extender<\/span><\/a> works for real customers? Let\u2019s take a look at a case study from a Canada-based energy delivery company who was searching for a solution to help them capture time-lapsed photography of construction site projects located in the far north.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Challenges: Harsh Weather and Limited Network Distance<\/b><\/h2>\n

The construction sites are located in the harsh climate with temperatures in the sun ranging from -40 Celsius or lower up to +40 Celsius during certain seasons. The temperatures often vary by as much as 30 degrees or more during short time spans. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, the project sites include numerous fixed and portable buildings in a large area. The portable data centers (PDCs) that provide communication services to site construction teams can\u2019t always be set up in the ideal locations, therefore, the distance between an IP camera and the PDCs usually exceeds 100-meter standard distance limitation for an Ethernet segment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solution<\/b><\/h2>\n

To address these requirements, Patton created a customized solution using the EHA2173\/R\/CC\/UI and Patton\u2019s NEMA4-compliant EnviroNET™ rugged-industrial enclosure with the CopperLink™ Ethernet extender. This solution includes four elements:<\/span><\/p>\n
