AvaLAN Wireless, a specialist in the industrial long-range wireless Ethernet market, reportedly has launched its new point-to-multipoint AW900xTR wireless solution.

 

Featuring remote configuration and diagnostic tools, the AW900xTR Radios are now IP addressable, and support multiple IP addresses at each remote node. With the AW900xTR product line companies can create a long-range, non-line-of-sight, point-to-multipoint wireless Ethernet solution.

 

The company says its solution can enable a number of fringe IP devices, including IP access control readers, SCADA clients, bio-scanners, printers, PCs, VoIP phones, point-of-sale devices, digital signage and Internet kiosks.

 

Michael Derby, chief technology officer and founder of AvaLAN Wireless, said that his company’s new long-range wireless Ethernet solution is field upgradeable, more secure, and easier to configure. Derby said he’s confident that the AW900xTR will provide the robust reliability, scalability and versatility the customers search in a long-range wireless Ethernet solution.

 

The company is offering the AW900xTR for $675. It is also offered in Line-of-Site AW5800xTR and OEM Bare Modules AW900mTR and AW5800mTR versions.

 

AvaLAN Wireless’ officials explain that they boast ultra-long range and non-line-of-site capabilities, and can easily penetrate up to both 1,500 feet of foliage or 10 building walls. The products have industrial-grade temperature ranges and can operate up to 12 access points. The company believes they can replace modest-data-rate installations where 802.11 systems are under performing or not performing at all due to insufficient range or excessive interference.

 

Wireless has evolved far beyond voice and text, and a recent conference – titled “The Wireless World: Untethered Opportunities” – revealed that wireless lets people do more such as getting on the Internet, check scores, stock and watch videos.

 

Maxine Ballen, president and chief executive officer of the New Jersey Technology Council, supporting organization of the conference, cited reports, according to which around 77 percent of people living in the United States now use cell phones. Also, half the population of Internet users owns either a wireless laptop or PDA.
