THE FASTEST WAY TO WIRELESS
ConnexNet
TM
provides a complete hardware and software solution for adding wireless
network connectivity to serial-based applications. The radio module serves as a
conduit between the user and multiple destination devices via a local network or the
internet. Controlling distant OEM networks is as easy as accessing the internet.
Unlike other industrial wireless Ethernet offerings, ConnexNet does not require a
COM port director. All software controls communicate directly to the device, greatly
improving system latency. ConnexNet supports a wireless Ethernet-to-serial bridge to
allow separate networks to talk with one another simultaneously.
Each unit is small and easily portable for use in mobile or temporary settings as well as
for fixed installations. FHSS modulation ensures reliable transmissions, while use of the
900MHz ISM band makes ConnexNet ready to use with no further certification.
