ATLANTA -- Cirronet, Inc. (a subsidiary of RF Monolithics, Inc. (RFM) (Nasdaq:RFMI RFMI Request for More Information )) announces its exhibit at the Sensors Expo Conference in Rosemont, IL, June 11-13, 2007, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center The Donald E. Stephens Convention Center is a convention center for Rosemont, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Built in 1975, the center has exhibition space of 840,000 sq ft (0 m). . The exhibit will include a broad range of Cirronet brand wireless sensor networking solutions and parent company RFM's brand of Virtual Wire[TM] short-range radio and RFIC RFIC Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit

 condition-monitoring application that utilizes Cirronet's wireless technology in a custom-built wireless monitoring solution.

Cirronet is known for its wide breadth of high quality wireless solutions that enable wireless data when and where you need it. They will be exhibiting their complete line of embeddable OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and  modules including their family of ZigBee[TM] modules and gateways, 802.15.4 modules, proprietary mesh modules, proprietary frequency hopping A wireless modulation method that rapidly changes the center frequency of a transmission. See spread spectrum and 802.11.  modules, Bluetooth([R]) modules and industrial 802.11g modules. Cirronet products are available in the 433 MHz (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. , 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz license-free bands. Showcasing Cirronet products' suitability for industrial wireless sensor network applications is the Cooper InVision system that is built around a collection of Cirronet technologies.

The Cooper InVision solution is offered for industrial and commercial applications to reduce downtime and increase productivity by more quickly identifying open-circuit events caused by short-circuits and overloads. According to a comprehensive study of manufacturing facilities, an open-circuit event resulted in an average of 41 minutes of downtime with costs in some industries ranging from $300,000 to millions of dollars per site per hour1. By implementing the Cooper InVision solution, unscheduled downtime and associated costs may be reduced by as much as 60%, saving industrial operations millions of dollars per year.

At the heart of the Cooper InVision solution is a custom wireless sensor network developed by Cirronet that includes battery-powered, intelligent fuse sensor modules reporting through a robust, self-healing, wireless mesh network (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. . The Cooper InVision solution identifies an open-circuit event via the intelligent fuse sensor module and then transmits notification of the open-circuit event over the mesh network to a web-based monitoring application that sends an urgent maintenance work-order request. The Cooper InVision solution has shown 99.999% event transmission reliability even in the most extreme environments.

The RFM products exhibited include: 1) Virtual Wire short-range radio devices based on RFM's ultra low power An ultra low power, or ULP device, is an electronic gadget that has milli- or micro-watt power consumption.

Some examples of ultra-low power devices:
  • Pacemakers
  • Hearing aids
, proprietary amplifier-sequenced hybrid (ASH) radio architecture and are available in 303.825 MHz, 315 MHz, 418 MHz, 433.92 MHz, 868.35 MHz, 914 MHz, and 916.5 MHz license-free bands, and 2) RFIC products that include PLL-based, single- or multi-channel transceiver, transmitter and receiver products and evaluation boards available in 300-1,000 MHz license-free bands.
