ClearWay™ System Design
Introduction
This section covers the key components of the ClearWay™ system - hardware and software - and how they interact with each other across a network. It also covers topics such as configuration options, sensor network requirements and options for resilience.

Network Bandwidth
Specific bandwidth requirements are covered in more detail below, and in the Hardware Prerequisites page: Hardware Prerequisites. However, sufficient capacity must be allowed for the radar data and this must be based on an absolute allocation of bandwidth, not an average. The data from a radar will continuously stream at the specified data rate, it will not vary. Taking into account the radar data and any other data being transmitted on the network (i.e. CCTV video), we would recommend that this does not exceed 70% of the available bandwidth. We would not recommend a data network with less than 1Gbps bandwidth.
