Solis Energy's Continuous Power Bridge Selected By University of Mississippi To Improve Campus Traffic Ingress and Egress Management

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla., Feb. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Solis Energy Inc., a leading manufacturer of hardened outdoor power systems, today announced that its Continuous Power Bridge was selected by the University of Mississippi to provide continuous power to traffic monitoring devices in parts of the campus with poor power availability. The university, which encompasses over 2,500 acres and served more than 18,000 students in the 2020-2021 academic year, is expanding its ability to monitor roadways and parking lots to ensure student safety. This helps make sure that small traffic and parking violations are caught before they can spiral into campus-wide gridlock. Solis Energy's Continuous Power Bridges (CPB) were selected to provide continuous power to a smart security system monitoring ingress and egress at the campus's five main entrance points.

One of the university's primary challenges during the design of its smart traffic monitoring system was a lack of power at the campus's entranceways during daylight hours. The streetlights in the area had power that could be tapped, but they were connected to photocell-governed outlets in nearby buildings that cut all power to the poles during the day when the lights are off. This created a significant issue as the system's primary function was to monitor campus traffic, most of which occurs during the daytime.

Solis Energy's Continuous Power Bridge ended up being the perfect solution to the power problem. The CPB taps into the streetlight's power and uses an integrated charge controller to power the load and recharge the CPB's battery bank. When power isn't available, the CPB uses its batteries to keep the load online until power is available again. The university has several Continuous Power Bridges running Motorola Solutions' Avigilon H4 License Plate Capture (LPC) and H4 Multisensor cameras at key entry points on the edge of campus.

"I was extremely excited to discover this backup power solution for security cameras installed on light poles in potentially vulnerable areas," states Kathy Tidwell, Director of Contractual Services & University Licensing at the University of Mississippi. "The solution was implemented at the university as part of a larger project over the course of three years and has proven to be a tremendous success."

The CPB offered by Solis is an ideal power provider for video security cameras installed at schools, university campuses, office buildings, malls, hospital parking lots, and other large sites, as it's designed to keep power flowing to devices during intermittent and planned outages.

The Solis CPB helped bridge the gap between day and night by powering video security cameras in the daytime for the university. The CPB coupled with Motorola Solutions' Avigilon security cameras has served as a powerful solution to help alert the University Police Department of unauthorized vehicles pulling up to the campus day or night, which has mitigated risks and created a safer environment for all.

In addition to schools, Solis Energy's rugged and reliable products are a critical part of the security and surveillance infrastructures for parking facilities, airports, power plants, port and border security, and many other vertical markets "Power is often thought of as ubiquitous until you find out it's not. We enable successful projects by delivering reliable power solutions where they are needed," states Robert Reynolds, President at Solis Energy.
