The project is part of a €76 million project financed by the Provincia Automoma di Trento. The tunnel is a twin tube design, each 3km long, and is part of the strategic road link for the Trentino region.
"The choice of codec was critical for this project as we required very high resolution images for the Incident Detection System. The COE X-Net G3 exceeded our specifications and also met the environmental challenges posed by such a project," said Enzo Masini, sales manager for Distelco.
The Citilog MediaTunnel analysis technology was integrated with COE X-Net G3 MPEG-4 codecs to ensure a seamless system was delivered to the End User.
Andrew Wallace, CEO, commented, "Specialist projects such as the Martignano Tunnel demand the highest performance systems and we are very pleased that COE X-Net® has been chosen for this IP CCTV application."
COE has a long history of supplying video transmission and surveillance technology for tunnel projects, which include the Channel Tunnel, the Mont Blanc Tunnel and several Singaporean tunnels, and road projects including the UK Highway Agency's National Traffic Control Centre and the London Congestion Charge.
