Wireless connectivity is fast becoming recognized as a flexible
and reliable medium for data communications across a broad range
of applications. In lighting control, RF can take over where wired
communication is difficult or impossible.
Embedded or stand-alone radios can talk to distant irrigation
controllers/timers, eliminating long cable runs and the risk of
damage to cable in the field. AeroComm enables quick integration
of wireless capability into an OEM's system, replacing cumbersome
cables:
- Lower Cost
AeroComm's RF solutions can replace miles of expensive wiring,
greatly reducing the high costs of cable installation or retrofitting.
- Less Environmental
Impact
RF eliminates the environmentally-invasive damage of laying
cable while reducing investments in reconstruction.
- System Protection
RF allows for isolation of sensitive equipment, reducing the
chances of failure due to power surges or severed cables.
- Greater Flexibility
Equipment is no longer physically tied to a terminal. RF enables
easy relocation within a building or over large outdoor distances
without rewiring.
Additional
Benefits
|
OEM's Requirement
|
AeroComm's Solution
|
|
Operate in RF noise
|
High
frequency 2.4GHz or 900MHz, employing frequency hopping
spread spectrum technology, providing resistance to interference
and highly reliable data communication.
|
|
Fast data transfer
|
Data rates up to 882 Kbps are
fast enough for the majority of OEM applications and multipoint
networking.
|
|
Small size
|
Modules are smaller than a
business card, easily fits into handheld devices or into
OEM's existing enclosures.
|
|
Low power consumption
|
Draws the lowest power current
in its category, making RF deal for battery-powered applications.
|
|
Industry-standard interfaces
|
Commonly used asynchronous
TTL serial data I/O simplifies OEM's integration to reduce
time-to-market and cost.
|
|
International conformity
|
2.4GHz is accepted around the world as unlicensed
spectrum, while 900MHz is used in North America/Australia
and 868MHz in Europe. OEMs can design one system and then
interchange modules network-wide to suit the location and
environment.
|
|
Range
|
Effective communication over distances of
up to 500 feet indoors or several miles line-of-sight.
|
| Numerous
antenna options |
Integral
strip and dipole options suit different environments and range
requirements. |
