How the Teltonika TSW202 Switch Enhanced Smart Traffic Management Systems
With the continuous evolution of smart city technologies, the need for efficient and safe traffic systems has become more critical than ever. As cities rely more on smart cameras, sensors, digital traffic lights, and electronic information boards, a major challenge arises: How can all these elements be connected in a reliable, fast, and scalable network?
The Challenge: Building a Smart Traffic Infrastructure
Smart traffic management systems depend on real-time data collection and analysis from devices distributed throughout the roads and intersections. However, these devices require a robust communication network, especially in outdoor environments where power supply and connectivity can be unstable or difficult to manage.
The key challenges were:
• Connecting all devices efficiently.
• Ensuring network stability and high performance.
• Enabling remote network management.
• Withstanding harsh outdoor conditions.
The Solution: Teltonika’s TSW202 Managed Switch
Teltonika provided a practical and powerful solution through its TSW202 managed switch, which played a key role in implementing a smart traffic system.
Why TSW202?
• 8 x PoE+ Ports: These ports allow powering IP cameras and sensors directly through the Ethernet cable — no separate power source needed.
• 2 x SFP Ports: For high-speed, long-distance data transmission over fiber optics.
• Full Remote Management: Supports VLAN, QoS, monitoring,
and configuration through Teltonika's RMS (Remote Management System).
• Industrial-Grade Durability: Built to operate in extreme temperatures
and outdoor environments.
Real-Life Application in a Smart City
In this smart traffic solution, all key components:
• Surveillance cameras,
• Traffic sensors,
• Smart traffic signals,
• Electronic information displays
were connected using the TSW202 switch. All data from these devices were centralized and transmitted to the city’s main control center in real-time. This enabled:
• Continuous traffic monitoring,
• Faster response: to congestion or incidents,
• Smart signal: timing based on real traffic flow,
• Lower infrastructure costs through PoE support.
Results and Benefits
• A reliable and stable communication network.
• Fewer power cables and simpler installations with PoE.
• Easier centralized control and remote troubleshooting.
• Industrial performance even under challenging conditions.
Conclusion:
Using the TSW202 managed switch was a game-changer in building
a smart traffic management network. Its powerful combination of PoE support, fiber connectivity, remote control capabilities, and rugged design
made it the ideal solution for modern cities aiming for safer and more intelligent transportation systems.
