Project Introduction

Location: China

Project Name: ORing’s Industrial Ethernet Switches Adopted in Toll Collection Systems of Xintai Hihgway

Products Deployed: RGS-7244GP

Project Requirement

• Open industrial Ethernet architecture
• Rugged hardware
• Network redundancy and automatic recovery
• Remote monitoring and fault alerts

Opened in late 2015, China’s 5.717-km, four-lane Xintai Highway southern extension needed integrated networking for toll collection and surveillance. At Doushan toll station, ORing connected manual toll collection booths with station, settlement, and operator systems.

Solution

IPS-3082GC switches connected booth cameras, intercoms, PCs, and license plate recognition systems. Each provided eight Fast Ethernet PoE ports and two Gigabit combo ports, with up to 30W per PoE port to simplify camera installation. The RGS-7244GP aggregated toll data through 24 Gigabit copper and four Gigabit SFP ports, supporting fiber transmission to centers handling route-and-mileage-based billing and records. An IES-3162GC separately connected HD surveillance cameras to local storage.

QoS prioritized critical traffic, while VLANs separated toll and surveillance communications. O-Ring supported recovery below 10ms across up to 250 nodes. Open-Vision provided automatic topology mapping, centralized monitoring, and real-time fault alerts, simplifying management across access and aggregation layers.
