In a world where speed is everything, companies can’t rely on slow wireless products or service. Companies seeking to dominate the market not only have to be responsive, but also fast. CalAmp (News - Alert) is responding to this demand with its latest wireless communications system.
A provider of wireless products, services and solutions, CalAmp’s latest development is designed to increase the speed of private narrowband radio network operations by as much as four times compared with competitive products. The new Viper SC+ not only delivers the best data communication speeds, it also enhances network security and quality of service in all applications.
Geared toward SCADA, outage management, distribution automation and other critical electrical, water/wastewater, and oil and gas distribution applications, the Viper SC+ delivers 100 kHz channel bandwidth in 200 MHz and 900 MHz bands. Users enjoy access to data speeds up to 256 kbps and multispeed operations can enable each RF link to operate at the fastest data rate possible, optimizing wireless communications.
With a focus on network efficiency, availability and performance, this latest solution from CalAmp improves QoS capabilities to enable the management of network priorities for a broad range of applications that can enhance security and the management of traffic flow. It also provides out of band management capabilities for IT administrators, regardless of their location or that of their brand offices and remote users.
"With the comprehensive Viper SC+ package, we have raised the standard for licensed band wireless communications networks, simultaneously providing greater bandwidth, data security and vastly improved Quality of Service,” said Mike Zachan, senior vice president and general manager of CalAmp's Wireless Networks business, in a press release. “We're driving the 'self-healing grid' and infrastructure optimization by enabling more secure, efficient and reliable remote asset management for electrical, water/wastewater, and oil and gas distributors around the globe."
This latest release from CalAmp is important for those companies operating in industries where they must support remote stationary applications. It can be difficult to reach these locations and consistent uptime is a must. Access to out of band management technologies is essential and CalAmp makes it possible to leverage this capability with speed and flexibility. Robust connectivity ensures the necessary connections are made so the administrator can focus on getting everything and everyone back on line.
Plus, with access to remote management tools, the time and resources needed to maintain and support the infrastructure are greatly reduced, while workforce efficiency and monitoring are enhanced across the enterprise.
