    30+% of the bandwidth. ** DSL and cable modem connections typically advertise their speeds as something like 1.5 to 10 Mbps. However, this is the download speed. Hawkeye radar communication is more dependent on upload speeds.
  • Page 42 The word “Internet” in Internet protocol can be a little misleading – it is not necessary for the network to be open to the rest of the world. Typically, the network used by Rhythm products is either sequestered behind firewalls or totally isolated. Municipalities with an existing networking plan can often just incorporate the traffic network into their broader networking scheme.
