 EXPO 2006, Reliant Center Reliant Center is a convention center in Houston, Texas, part of the Reliant Park complex that was constructed around the Astrodome Reliant Stadium. Reliant Center hosts various events year-round, including portions of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, who maintains its offices , Houston, Texas “Houston” redirects here.

, October 17-19. Designed to meet the needs of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), plant and facilities managers, and engineers working in automation and control, the Cirronet / Aleier CBO platform streamlines integration of Cirronet's industrial wireless sensor networking with Aleier's Enterprise Asset Management system (EAM (1) (Enterprise Asset Management) The management and control of the information technology assets within the enterprise. The asset management repository includes a description of the asset as well as contract information pertaining to its acquisition. ). The integrated CBO platform is a key component in machine maintenance and monitoring applications.

The demonstration will incorporate two Cirronet wireless sensor networks, one based on its industrial ZigBee(TM) modules, and the other based on proprietary VersaMesh(TM) DM2200 wireless modules originally introduced by parent company RF Monolithics (Nasdaq:RFMI RFMI Request for More Information ) and now marketed under the Cirronet brand. Both networks will be connected to Aleier's FM1j interprise(TM) EAM application.

Said Bob Gemmell, President of Cirronet, "With over a decade of industrial deployments, no single company provides the breadth of proven wireless sensor networking as Cirronet. We are excited to showcase two types of wireless sensor networks interfacing simultaneously and seamlessly with Aleier's EAM application."

"Aleier's EAM solution not only has a rich feature set, but its open architecture makes for efficient integration with all types of wireless sensor networks, while also efficiently integrating with wireline networks and manual data entry," said Aleier's President Bill Caver cav·er

Assets of relatively small value. For financial reporting purposes, firms frequently combine small assets into a single category rather than listing each item separately.
. Condition-Based Operations is implemented by providing the EAM application with current information on assets' operating status and performance. This enables companies to perform more timely predictive maintenance, servicing equipment when it is needed based on its operating characteristics. Predictive maintenance based on important operating parameters yields highly reliable operations while minimizing maintenance costs from excessive scheduled maintenance or emergency reaction to equipment failures.

Cirronet also will be showcasing the SEM HL family of Class I Div 1 license-free wireless Ethernet bridges at the ISA EXPO. The SEM HL family products are certified to UL 1913 Groups B, C and D. Unique to the SEM HL family is the ability to mount the antenna up to 250 feet from the explosion proof enclosure using standard RF cable. The SEM HL family includes bridges operating in the 900MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. 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.  and 2.4GHz license-free bands and provides data rates from 172.6Kbps to 1.2Mbps. Distances of 20+ miles can be covered with the 900MHz SEM HL products using omnidirectional antennas with clear line of sight. The 2.4GHz SEM HL products can cover ranges in excess of 5 miles with gain antennas.
