ConnexNet provides a complete hardware and software solution for adding wireless
network connectivity to serial-based applications. The transceiver serves as a conduit
between the user and multiple destination devices via a local network or the Internet.
Controlling distant OEM networks is as easy as accessing the ‘Net.
Unlike other industrial wireless Ethernet offerings, ConnexNet does not
require a COM port director. All software controls communicate
directly to the device, greatly improving system latency. And
ConnexNet will support a wireless Ethernet-to-serial bridge to allow
separate networks to talk with one another simultaneously.
Each unit is small and easily portable for use in mobile or tempo-
rary settings as well as for fixed installations. FHSS modulation
ensures reliable transmissions, while use of the 900MHz ISM band
makes ConnexNet ready to use with no further certification.
