NVT Phybridge Case Study: Hitachi Rail Deploys New IP Cameras System Using Existing Coax Network Infrastructure
3 minute read time
Summary
Hitachi Rail, a subsidiary of Japanese conglomerate Hitachi, delivers innovation through the development and maintenance of trains to drive sustainable connectivity. Hitachi Rail designs and manufactures signaling systems, components, and other technologies to manage and control new or upgraded railway systems worldwide.
Problem
In coordination with Advantex Network Solutions, Hitachi Rail needed to replace an outdated analog CCTV system with a new IP surveillance solution. The customer wanted to deploy IP cameras throughout the Hitachi Rail Ashford Depot in the southern region of the United Kingdom. However, the installation of CAT6, fiber optic cable, and additional networking closets threatened the project with high costs, complexity, and business disruption.
Solution
Having already used NVT Phybridge products, Michael O’Connell and Tony Easingwood of Advantex Network Solutions suggested leveraging the existing coax cabling using the CLEER family of Ethernet over Coax (EoC) solutions. NVT Phybridge CLEER switches deliver up to 50 watts of power (PoE++) and 10/100 Mbps symmetrical, full-duplex, over coax cabling with up to 6,000ft (1,830m) reach, which is 18 times farther than standard solutions.
Result
Hitachi Rail was impressed with the proposed solution and decided to move forward with the project. “The deployment was very straightforward with the training we received from NVT Phybridge,” said Michael O’Connell, Advantex Network Solutions. “We pre-built the entire system within our pre-build area, which allowed us to allocate each port to an EC Link+ (NV-ECLK-PLS) and then to its IP camera. When deployment began, each device was installed into its planned location.”
The new CCTV was installed within the Ashford Hitachi depot across all the external stabling, covering the whole perimeter and access/egress to the site. The NVT Phybridge EoC technology leveraged the existing coax cabling, eliminating the need for costly and disruptive infrastructure changes. Additionally, the system is easily expandable, as the customer can deploy extra IP cameras using the EC4 (NV-EC-04) adapter, which enables up to 4 IP endpoints from a single coax cable run. Hitachi Rail and Advantex Network Solutions were extremely satisfied with the project’s outcomes, having achieved incredible results for the customer.
Sustainability
Hitachi Rail’s mission is to “contribute to society through the development of superior, original technology and products.” One of its sustainability goals is to reduce CO2 emissions by 50% by fiscal year 2030. In line with the organization’s overall environmental sustainability and carbon reduction goals, NVT Phybridge EoC technology allowed the reuse of existing cabling, preventing over 635 kilograms of e-waste.

Reseller partner recommends NVT Phybridge FLEX switches to improve digital transformation outcomes
3-minute read time
Summary
Problem
A new golf club in Mexico needed to deploy an IP surveillance system. When the golf club was designed and built, the developers did not consider the need for a surveillance installation when designing the underground pipes for wiring. The reseller partner, BETA Security, called in NVT Phybridge to help find a solution to the customer’s digital transformation barriers.
Solution
After assessing the customer’s environment, Sergio Nava, Operations Director at BETA Security, recommended the FLEX switch. The NVT Phybridge FLEX switch delivers up to 50 Watts of power (PoE++) and 10/100/1000 Mbps symmetrical, full-duplex, over multi-pair UTP cabling with up to 2,000ft (610m) reach, which is six times farther than standard switches.
The customer was impressed and requested a no-obligation proof-of-concept to test the solution on-site at no additional cost. After a few simple setup steps, the FLEX switch created a robust and reliable PoE backbone for the IP cameras with far less intermediate equipment needed along the way.
Result
BETA Security used the NVT Phybridge FLEX switch to enable new IP cameras exactly where the customer needed them. BETA Security estimates the FLEX switch reduced network infrastructure costs by 65% compared to alternative solutions, including wireless and fiber optic installations. Although fiber optic cable was used, the FLEX switch significantly reduced the need for increased fiber optic cabling. “The implementation experience was quick and simple thanks to the intuitive GUI interface,” said Sergio Nava. “The software’s interface is easy to use and graphically superior to other solutions.”
The FLEX switch was simple to implement with the existing network equipment and reduced the overall deployment time by 33%. The FLEX switch delivers high-quality video feeds to the VMS in real-time. “It was a great experience working with the FLEX switch,” said Sergio Nava. “We also connected the FLEX switch to access control equipment to read equipment tags and plates in real-time.”
