Break free from restrictive cables
Add wireless communications to your PC/104 stack with Connect Tech's new Xtreme/104 Radio Modems.
Read more about the Xtreme/104 Radio Modems.
Adding a wireless radio modem to your PC/104 stack frees you from the cabling barriers of a traditional embedded data control system. A wireless system can overcome distance limitations or problems posed by awkward locations of automated devices on the plant floor. If you need to frequently relocate devices, wireless adds the flexibility to do so with minimal effort.
Wireless radio modem technology is gaining popularity as a solution within the industrial automation field in particular. As reliability improves and the technology becomes more secure, radio modems are proving to be a cost-effective option for automated systems, such as SCADA operations. Spread spectrum technology has eliminated much of the problem of radio frequency interference and noise, transmitting clear signals no matter how many obstacles are present and how much "noise" is created by surrounding equipment.
Connect Tech’s Xtreme/104 Radio Modems combine Connect Tech’s PC/104 serial expertise with Cirronet’s proprietary frequency hopping spread spectrum technology. The result is a wireless radio modem for your PC/104 stack that is low in power consumption yet powerful enough to transmit your data no matter what the environment.
Operating in the license-free Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz bands, Xtreme/104 Radio Modems offer superior immunity to electrical noise, jamming and multipath fading, making them ideal for even the noisiest industrial and factory environments. This is ideal for systems in industrial operations, SCADA applications, the transportation industry, medical and military applications.
The radio module offers CRC error checking and ARQ (automatic repeat-request) which act to automatically retransmit bad packets to assure errorless data reception.
The Xtreme/104 Radio Modems can operate in two modes: point-to-point, and point-to-multipoint. In a point-to-point network, one Xtreme/104 Radio Modem is set as a base station and another is set as a remote. In a point-to-multipoint network, a star topology is used with one Xtreme/104 Radio Modem set as a base station acting as the central communications point and all other Xtreme/104 Radio Modems in the network set up as remotes. In this configuration, all communications take place between the base station and any one of the remotes.
The Xtreme/104 Radio Modem 2.4 GHz offers store-and-forward repeating, great in a point-to-multipoint situation as it extends range and enables transmission around barriers without the need for dedicated repeaters.
Using radio modems technology offers a number of benefits over other wireless systems. There are no recurring fees such as those experienced with telephone line leases or satellite terminals. There's no need to rely on the quality or availability of a third-party network.
