AirLink Communications Launches Exciting New Line of Rugged Intelligent Wireless Communications and Networking Devices.Enhanced Performance Drives Launch of the "X Platform" HAYWARD, Calif. -- AirLink Communications, Inc., an industry pioneer and leading provider of fixed and mobile wireless data solutions, announced its next generation of rugged and intelligent 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. and networking devices. Leveraging the new X Platform, AirLink's latest product suite offers increased processing power and expanded memory See EMS, EMM and expanded storage. (storage) expanded memory - Memory used through EMS. In systems based on Intel 80386 or later processor expanded memory is part of the extended memory that is mapped into the expanded memory page frame by the processor. within an enhanced and scalable architecture optimized for current and future 3G wireless networks. As with all of AirLink's always-on, always-aware wireless modems, the X Platform products are powered by AirLink's revered ALEOS(TM) technology, the longstanding industry benchmark for reliable and feature-rich embedded intelligence. "Fundamentally, the X Platform resets our product foundation, facilitating development and functional evolution for years to come," remarked Justin Schmid, AirLink's senior vice president for marketing and business development, "This is just the beginning of an exciting and aggressive product roadmap that will enhance our leadership position in the industry and broad markets we serve." The first two product installments from the X Platform are the Raven X and the PinPoint X. Both showcase compact, sleek new form-factors with integrated mounting features in rugged aluminum cases. Class I Division 2 certification ensures intrinsic safety Refers to inherently safe machinery, electrical and electronic systems that do not contain hazardous materials, high voltages, bare terminals or other potentially dangerous parts that can cause injury to a human. See safety. for operation in hazardous environments and customers using GSM technologies will appreciate external SIM card access for ease of installation and activation. The Raven X has both serial and Ethernet interfaces to simplify deployments and enable new functionality. Equipped with ALEOS(TM) technology, the Raven X is compatible with numerous machine communications protocols making it ideal for a long list of remote industrial solutions. The high-speed Ethernet interface and 3G-optimized architecture make the Raven X equally suited for various commercial wireless network connectivity applications as well. The PinPoint X is a compact, intelligent and fully-featured mobile communications platform with multiple peripheral connections including serial, Ethernet and USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. . Expanded I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output functionality in a separate connector includes four digital inputs, four analog inputs and two relay outputs unleashing extensive remote instrumentation possibilities. The PinPoint X is compliant with environmental Military Standards for vibration, shock, drop, high and low temperature and humidity. Its high-precision 16-channel GPS receiver coupled with the rich embedded intelligence provided by ALEOS(TM) technology make PinPoint X the perfect choice for a broad set of mobile enterprise, public safety, fleet management and AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) See mobile positioning. solutions. AirLink is aggressively launching X Platform products on advanced 3G wireless networks, with commercial shipments of CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. 2000 EV-DO (EVolution-Data Only) A 3G high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers worldwide that use the CDMA technology, including Verizon and Sprint in the U.S. EV-DO works on EV-DO cellphones as well as laptops and portable devices that have EV-DO modems. Revision A and High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) See HSPA. ) solutions commencing in Q1 2007. All of AirLink's 3G-capable devices are backwards compatible See backward compatible. backwards compatible - backward compatibility to the corresponding 2G wireless technology and automatically connect to the best network available. ALEOS(TM) technology working in concert with AirLink's best-in-class tools and utilities allows for seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation. with new or existing deployments and make the Raven X and PinPoint X ideally suited for a broad set of fixed, portable and mobile applications.
