Ethernet Direct Industrial Wireless Range Meets Outdoor Demands



Taipei, Taiwan, 28 November, 2008 - Ethernet Direct Corporation, a professional and primary provider of Industrial Networking and communication solutions, announces a complete range of Industrial Wireless devices that meets outdoor demands. The Falcon series FWI and FWO series provide high performance solution combining superior wireless technology and latest product innovation.

Falcon Industrial wireless LAN products ensure Security, Interoperability, Robust construction, Reliability and Quality, as required in Industrial wireless outdoor network applications. Falcon industrial wireless products are true robust housing with IP68 protection on the FWO-710, FWO-711, FWO-712, FWO-713, FWO-5805-VS, FWO-8110H, FWO-8110R and IP66 protection on the FWI-701 and FWI-702. To digitize and encode video from analog video cameras and transmit it over 5 GHz wireless bands, FWO-5805-VS Wireless with video server is available for Industrial Ethernet applications. While the FWO-8110H & FWO-8110R Wi-Fi Mesh Metropolitan Area Network solution extends the capability of Wi-Fi Local Area Network technologies (IEEE802.11) from providing just local area network connectivity to a wider reach and wide-area coverage without complicated wiring and wired backbone connection. These devices support SNMP V1, V2 and V3 for high reliability.

Falcon wireless products comply with IEEE802.11a/b/g standards and come with a choice of 2.3, 2.4 and 5.0GHz operation. Data security and reliability is critical. They can link two or more separate networks to create a single expanded LAN cost effectively and efficiently. To secure information, Falcon wireless products come with WEP encryption and WAP feature. All products are Wi-Fi compliant and pass regulatory approvals to offer a safe and secure usage and installation. Extreme form factor protection makes Falcon wireless products weatherproof, waterproof, dust proof and highly resistant to shock and vibration, and provides wide operating temperature of -30 to +70C, suitable for harsh outdoor installations. With innovative design, the FWO and FWI series provide high-data rate transmission for outdoor environments - faster than xDSL.

FWO & FWI Products support five operating modes: access point (AP), point-to-point bridge, point-to-multipoint bridge, wireless client, or repeater. In order to achieve a stable wireless connection by reducing roaming between access points, Falcon wireless products not only deliver high radio output power but also maintain high signal sensitivity for quality data transmission. To reduce the cost of power cables installation and provide future proof in investment, Ethernet Direct has integrated 802.3af Power over Ethernet technology in its Falcon wireless products.
