CBL Solutions

CBL Systems is an industry innovator of best-in-class Lon and Ethernet protocol based product solutions. CBL’s patent pending Quasar technology is the only true “plug and go” self-healing Ethernet Switch in the industry. Both the Lon and Ethernet family of products are ideally suited for numerous applications of which some are highlighted below.

Video Security
There continues to be tremendous growth for the deployment and upgrade of video security systems for a multitude of environments many of which are considered mission critical. The migration from analog point-to-point solutions to IP based networked solutions has resulted in greater distances, increased capacity, and improved reliability. CBL Systems family of Quasar Smart Switches is a proven solution for these numerous applications..

Perimeter Security
The challenge for those installing and maintaining Perimeter Security data communication solutions is to provide an extremely reliable solution for cameras, sensors and other devices and a method to network all these devices to a central command center. The solution requires a self-healing backbone that is not affected by lighting strikes, is easy to set up with minimal operator intervention and can transport critical sensor data and video images over the single network topology. The bandwidth requirements could be substantial depending on the number of devices placed on the network and the distance between the cameras and the command center. CBL’s IQ1000 Ethernet Switch is a perfect solution.

ITS Solutions
In recent years there has been a proliferation of ITS communication networks worldwide especially throughout the United States and Western Europe. The CBL Systems’ IQ 1000 or IQ100 Quasar Smart Switch is an ideal product for this application.

Mining Monitoring Systems
Mining can be a highly dangerous environment. The early detection and warning of subterranean environmental changes (gas, heat, water, etc.) could mean the difference between life and death. A redundant self healing Ethernet ring connecting sensing equipment underground to control stations dispersed over long distances, provides a very effective means for transportation of data, in what are often hazardous locations.

Building Automation
The automated control of intelligent building functions such as HVAC, lighting and access control is now common place in government facilities and commercial buildings resulting in lower energy costs and improved security. Additionally, certain environments such as hospitals require stabilized temperatures and continuous electrical power and lighting 24/7 for the well being of the patients. Based on the network requirements CBL offers either Lon products for LonWorks based protocol solutions or our Quasar Smart Switch for Ethernet protocols.

Integrated Building Automation & Video Security
The cost associated with establishing two separate data communication networks has lead many enterprises to integrate both their Building Automation and Video Security applications into one converged network solution. As this trend continues there will be a requirement for reliable high speed Ethernet solutions that will meet both application requirements in an independent manner. CBL Systems family of Quasar Ethernet Smart Switches were designed with this application in mind.
