AeroComm's New Software-Controllable
Option Adds Extreme Distance to Wireless Communication
October 11, 2005
Lenexa, Kansas, USA
AeroComm Inc., global supplier
of complete wireless solutions for industrial and commercial OEMs,
introduces Long Range Mode to its family of 900MHz spread
spectrum transceivers. Completely programmable by the OEM, Long
Range Mode offers unmatched flexibility in wireless networks,
adding as much as three times the range to RF communications.
By enabling a simple setting in the software, the OEM increases
the receiver sensitivity of the transceiver by as much as 10 dB.
In environments where extreme range is required or multiple obstructions
are present, increasing the radio sensitivity will deliver unprecedented
performance, up to 40 miles (with AeroComm's one-watt modules).
Long Range Mode will be a standard feature on 900MHz AC4490
and AC4790 OEM modules and ConnexLink wireless devices. The mode
will be disabled as a standard product default setting, making
the new transceivers completely backward-compatible with all existing
AeroComm installations. By manipulating the software setting,
OEM's enable Long Range Mode to improve distance performance
in required applications.
"Reliable communication and flexibility are keys to AeroComm's
continued success in the industrial wireless community,"
said Mike Varady, AeroComm CEO. "Long Range Mode simply
puts more control in the hands of the OEM. Where longer distance
is needed, the customer will achieve incredible performance with
the new feature. If high interference is present, the OEM may
want to leave the transceiver in its default condition so it doesn't
pick up unwanted signals."
AeroComm's already flexible and robust field-proven transparent
protocol (RF232™) is embedded into its 900MHz product family
to support a host of communication architectures: point-to-point,
point-to-multipoint, or peer-to-peer. The module's dynamic serial
firmware manages difficult over-the-air issues, such as error
detection, multipath concerns, link verification, and interference
problems.
All AeroComm OEM products and packaged devices operate in the
industrial temperature range of -40° C to +85° C and are
completely FCC, IC and/or CE certified. The 900MHz family is suitable
for a wide range of applications including vending, meter reading,
gaming, signage, automotive, recreation, point of sale, fleet
management, lighting control and security.
The new 900MHz products utilizing Long Range Mode is available
from AeroComm now. Prices vary by product; call for more information.
