ConnexNet provides a complete hardware
and software solution for adding wireless network connectivity
to serial-based applications. The transceiver serves as a conduit
between the user and multiple destination devices via a local
network or Internet connection. It integrates a fully developed
TCP/IP network stack and OS using a variety of network protocols
to make distant networking both easy and reliable.
Each unit is small and easily portable for use in mobile and temporary
settings as well as for fixed installations. ConnexNet software
enables custom configurations based on unique application requirements,
and simplifies installation and setup. The network settings can
be configured remotely over a network (password protected).
ConnexNet uses FHSS modulation, ensuring
reliable transmissions over long distances. Use of license free
frequency bands ensure that the units are ready to use with no
further certification requirements. ConnexNet is approved for
operation by FCC (USA) and IC (Canada). See ConnexNet's specifications
and protocol stack in the table below.
