Original Press Release:
VisiWear(TM) Launches the EX-AP-A, a Wi-Fi EX Access Point for Use in Hazardous Area
The access point features all the latest advanced wireless security and encryption features specified by the Wi-FI alliance.
Bergen, Norway, August 11th, 2006 - VisiWear Corporation today launched the EX-AP-A product - a new EX certified access point that will help organizations create wireless infrastructure in EX / hazardous areas, ATEX zone 1. The EX-AP-A will be shown at the Offshore Northern Seas show in Stavanger , 22-25 august 2006.
VisiWear introduces the worlds most advanced EX WI-FI Access Point , optimized and certified for use in hazardous environments. The accesspoint allows for a multitude of cable types and antenna configurations enabling a wide range of applications. The included EX-ANT-B antennas can connect with up to 30 meters of antenna cable length without significant loss of signal. The antennas have a wide angle beam, providing better coverage in multi path environments (metal walls etc) that involves signal reflections rather than line of sight transmission. The EX-AP-A Access Point can be configured as both a mesh endpoint and a standalone access point. Another benefit is that only one cable is needed to connect the access point to the network containing both power lines and Ethernet (POE).
Installing wireless networks instead of cabled networks cuts cabling cost and enables temporary network connections while maintaining communication speed and security. The cost/benefit of introducing wireless networks is even greater in hazardous and offshore environments, where cabling, throughputs, glands and manpower hours are more expensive.
" The EX-AP-A was primary developed to enable a flexible wireless infrastructure solution for our EX wireless video communication products, but there are really no limitations to the applications for this access point. It is already well proven that organizations can save money by installing wireless networks as a supplement or replacement to wired networks. An increasing number of EX PC terminals, EX PDA's, EX video terminals, control and monitoring systems are offered with integrated wireless networking. By installing wireless local networks, organizations can immediately start taking advantage of these new technologies. Applications includes wireless video communication (EX-3100) , CCTV, surveillance, control and monitoring data, alarm signals, detectors and ad hoc networking situations." - says Christian Rokseth, General Manager of VisiWear AS.
