ESTeem Wireless Ethernet Now Provides Long Range and High Data Rate.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 20, 2002 Automation Fair 2002--Electronic Systems Technology, Inc. (EST EST electroshock therapy. EST abbr. electroshock therapy ) (OTC OTC See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). :ELST ELST East Lake Sammamish Trail (Washington) ), a manufacturer of the ESTeem product line of wireless modems, announces dramatic software improvements to their Wireless Ethernet products for Allen-Bradley applications. The ESTeem Model 192E Ethernet product uses unlicensed 2.4 GHz, direct sequence spread spectrum technology, to provide 11 M bps RF data rate. The Model 192E features an industrial panel mount case, with RG-45 10baseT interface, and one watt RF output for line-of-site ranges over 7 miles. The new Digi-Repeating and Etherstation software features provide increased functionality for the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.11b wireless network. The 12 VDC VDC Volts Direct Current VDC Venture Development Corporation VDC Vehicle Dynamic Control VDC Village Development Committee (Nepal) VDC Virtual Data Center VdC Verband der Cigarettenindustrie powered device can be operated from battery or solar panels in addition to 90-250 VAC (Volts Alternating Current) See volt and AC. , 50/60 Hz with available external power supply for world applications. The Digi-Repeating feature, used in a Bridge application, allows the user to overcome line-of-sight blockages and to extend the typical point to point 7-mile line-of-sight range. A Model 192E used as a Digi-Repeater can also be attached to multiple Ethernet Devices. "The Digi-Repeater feature will allow increased usage in large geographical applications such as freshwater, wastewater, oil/gas, and power sites, by providing Ethernet data rates to sites that historically use low speed narrow band and spread spectrum radios," states Eric Marske, Industrial Automation Sales Manager. "With the increased bandwidth available other devices can be layered into a SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) A process control application that collects data from sensors and machines on the shop floor or in remote locations and sends them to a central computer for management and control. wireless LAN such as video monitoring," adds Marske. The Etherstation Mode allows multiple Model 192E's, with a 7 mile range, to roam seamlessly in an Access Point Mode over a large geographical area. "This feature allows mobile applications such as open pit mining trucks to have true Ethernet data rate conductivity from their on-board hardware to a hardwired LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. ," states Sam Amaral, Latin American Sales Manager. The Model 192E will be demonstrated at the 2002 Automation Fair with live video feeds on the show floor from networks in the Rockwell Power Pavilion, Mobile View Demonstration area, and the ESTeem booth. ESTeem will also announce a new site wide diagnostic program, SiteView(TM), for complete radio system diagnostics from one location on one screen. Electronic Systems Technology, a publicly held corporation since 1984, was the first company to develop the wireless modem and receive the United States and Canadian patents for this technology.
