AES-IntelliNet Announces Enhanced Customer Support Program for NTIA Narrowband Compliance.Business Editors PEABODY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 8, 2004 Enhanced Support Program Provides Additional Aid as Compliance Deadlines Approach AES-IntelliNet Alarms, a division of AES Corp, announced today an expanded support program for organizations that need to upgrade and modify wireless radio alarm based systems to meet NTIA NTIA National Telecommunications & Information Administration NTIA National Telecommunications & Information Association NTIA National Telecommunications Interagency NTIA National Telecommunications and Information Administration narrowband In communications, transmission rates up to T1 speeds (1.544 Mbps). The upper limit is moving target. At one time, narrowband meant 150 bps (that is 150 bits per second!). Then, the upper limit became 2,400 bps. Later, it moved to 64 Kbps. Contrast with wideband and broadband. compliance standards. The NTIA narrowband compliance standards apply to all products utilizing radio based wireless transmission for a variety of purposes. Most of the systems currently in use do not meet narrowband standards and must be modified. The deadlines for compliance begin as soon as January 2005. All AES-IntelliNet Alarm products are narrowband compliant and serve primarily the fire and intrusion security market. The new NTIA standards were enacted to promote the efficient use of federal radio spectrum, and will take effect as early as January 2005. The standards dictate TO DICTATE. To pronounce word for word what is destined to be at the same time written by another. Merlin Rep. mot Suggestion, p. 5 00; Toull. Dr. Civ.

NTIA Narrowband Compliance Standards The NTIA Narrowband Compliance standards have been instituted in order to better manage the allocation of frequency spectrum for wireless communications wireless communications System using radio-frequency, infrared, microwave, or other types of electromagnetic or acoustic waves in place of wires, cables, or fibre optics to transmit signals or data. . Radio equipment will be more accurate and adjacent channels will not be interfered with. Guidelines guidelines, n.pl a set of standards, criteria, or specifications to be used or followed in the performance of certain tasks. for the transition to narrowband technology are found in Chapter 4 of the NTIA's Manual of Regulations and Procedures for Federal Radio Frequency Management.

It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. Band: New systems must use the new 12.5 kHz channel after 1 January 1998; Existing systems must be converted by 1 January 2008. -- 162 - 174 MHz Band: New systems must use the new 12.5 kHz channel after 1 January 1995; Existing systems must be converted by 1 January 2005. -- 406.1 - 420 MHz Band: New systems must use the new 12.5 kHz channel after 1 January 1995; Existing systems must be converted by 1 January 2008. AES-IntelliNet NTIA Compliance Support Program AES-IntelliNet offers technical and product support programs that help bring organizations into NTIA compliance requirements Compliance requirements are a series of directives established by United States Federal government agencies that summarize hundreds of Federal laws and regulations applicable to Federal assistance (also known as Federal aid or Federal funds). and support radio alarm monitoring needs. The AES-IntelliNet support program includes: -- Conducting a site survey of installed transceivers to determine available options for meeting the NTIA requirements and develop a timely conversion process. -- Conducting training classes on how to install AES-IntelliNet products so on-site personnel can complete the required conversions. -- Providing installation certification and service for AES-IntelliNet products. -- Providing ongoing support for AES-IntelliNet products. Established in 1974, AES Corp. is the industry leader delivering high reliability wireless mesh networks (1) A network that relies on all nodes to propagate signals. Although the wireless signal may start at some base station (access point) attached to a wired network, a wireless mesh network extends the transmission distance by relaying the signal from one computer to another. to multiple industries including the fire alarm and burglary/intrusion market. Wireless mesh networking is an innovative technology for applications that need to communicate data over a large geographic area with a high level of reliability at a low cost of ownership. AES-IntelliNet network users in the Fire & Burglary/Intrusion Alarm industry have gained significant revenue, communications and cost advantages while meeting the high standards of reliability required. AES-IntelliNet Alarm products are UL and NFPA NFPA National Fire Protection Association NFPA National Food Processors Association NFPA National Fluid Power Association NFPA National Federation of Paralegal Associations (Edmonds, WA) approved. AES-IntelliNet systems are used in over 100,000 locations in over 130 countries. |
