Press Release Summary:
With transmit power of 500 mW and receive sensitivity of 104 dBm, SEM Ethernet Bridges and HopNet Modems utilize omni-directional antennas for 20 plus mile range. SEM Series provides high-speed wireless connectivity between Ethernet devices, while HopNet serial and Modbus modems provide high-speed wireless connectivity between serial devices. Based on 900 MHz FHSS WIT910 radio module, both support multi-point operation and offer over-the-air data rate of 172.6 kilobits/sec.Original Press Release:
Cirronet 900 MHz Products Deliver Demonstrated 20 Plus Mile Range for Industrial Wireless Applications
Using omni-directional antennas data can be sent reliably over extended distances
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 25- DistribuTECH -- BOOTH No. 1329 -- Cirronet(TM) Inc., a leading provider of wireless transceivers and broadband Internet products, today announced the immediate availability of new 900 MHz long-range versions of the company's SEM and HopNet products. With 500mW transmit power and a receive sensitivity of -104dBm, Cirronet's 900MHz products have demonstrated 20 plus mile range using omni-directional antennas with clear line of sight.
The ability to achieve this range without using directional antennas eliminates the costly and time consuming need to aim the antennas. SEMs, or spread spectrum Ethernet bridges, provide long range, high-speed wireless connectivity among Ethernet devices in industrial settings. HopNet devices offer the same performance for serial, Modbus, DNP3 and DF1 devices.
"The 900MHz SEM and HopNet products are ideal for utility, water management and other industrial applications with their unique combination of high data rate, long range and available interfaces," said Tim Cutler, Cirronet's vice president of sales and marketing. "For systems integrators and industrial resellers and distributors these are components they can use to create complete communications solutions for their customers to enable the reliable transmission of data from one location to other facilities at distances of twenty miles or more."
The SEM 910 product family, including the SEM 910, SEM910X, SEM910D, SEM910DX, are designed to provide high-speed wireless connectivity between Ethernet devices. The HopNet family of products, including HN-291, HN-291X, HN-291D, and HN-291DX are low-cost serial and Modbus wireless modems with built in antennas or external antenna connectors that provide high-speed wireless connectivity between serial devices. Typical uses include Ethernet bridging, SCADA networks, PLC networking and other industrial automation or data collection applications. Both SEM and HopNet products are based on the 900 MHz FHSS WIT910 radio module and support multi-point operation.
All Cirronet products feature the company's patented frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology, known for its superior ability to deliver critical data in environments ordinarily considered too hostile for radio communications. The 900 MHz products will provide an over-the-air data rate of 172.6 kilobits per second.
