ADI Engineering and aCure Technology Announce the First FCC Certified Open-Architecture Quad-Radio System for Municipal Wireless and WISP Applications.LAS VEGAS -- ADI Engineering, Inc., a leading provider of wireless router boards and turnkey wireless mesh equipment, and aCure Technology, a Western Australian telecommunications carrier and wireless solutions provider, today announced they have obtained the industry's first system-level FCC Part 15 certification for an open architecture quad-radio outdoor Wi-Fi access point with high-power radios and high-gain antennas. ADI's Pronghorn Metro[TM] platform is now fully certified to the unintentional and intentional radiator sections of Part 15, offering WISPs, OEMs and system integrators a path to instant system-level Part 15 compliance. The newly announced FCC certification applies to Pronghorn Metro systems with up to four 400mW 802.11 a/b/g dual-band radios and antenna gains up to 12dBi at 2.4 GHz and up to 22dBi at 5.8 GHz. The certification applies both to turnkey systems supplied by ADI and aCure and to "do it yourself" systems built from ADI's Pronghorn Metro[TM] SBC wireless router board in accordance with ADI's assembly instructions and bill of materials. "WISPs and OEMs need the ability to build their own FCC-legal systems," said Steve Yates, President, Founder and CTO of ADI Engineering. "ADI and aCure have solved the system-level certification problem for them. Whether they use our turnkey systems or build their own systems following our assembly instructions, their systems will be fully FCC certified under our newly granted FCC approval." "It was important for aCure to gain FCC approval not only for our own Wi-Fi mesh network in Perth, but more importantly for our international OEM and WISP customers that we supply with open off-the-shelf solutions that comply with the FCC Part 15 requirements," said Glenn Farrow, managing director of aCure Technology. "ADI Engineering and aCure Technology, in taking their hardware platform through the FCC certification process, will help our industry move toward complete compliance with FCC regulations," said Ken DiPietro, Vice President and CTO of NextGen Communications. "For the many service providers that had employed "roll your own" systems knowing that they were skirting FCC Part 15 rules, this "off the shelf" solution will provide a reasonably priced answer to their situation." ADI will be showing its FCC compliant solution at Interop booth 2513. For more details, please visit www.adiengineering.com or www.acure.com.au. About ADI Engineering Inc.
