FreeWave Announces UL Approval for FGRIO and New FGRIO-S Connector.BOULDER, Colo. -- FreeWave Technologies FreeWave Technologies, Inc. is a B2B company based in Boulder, Colorado where it manufactures and designs frequency hopping, spread spectrum radios. Wireless data solutions are utilized in industrial, scientific, military, and commercial applications. The U.S. , a designer and manufacturer of premium quality spread spectrum radios and wireless solutions for industrial, scientific, military and commercial applications, today announced that its FGRIO radios for wireless 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 are now UL approved for Class 1/Division 2 areas, enabling the use of the FGRIO system in hazardous areas. FreeWave's FGRIO technology, an end-to-end wireless sensor see mote. monitoring solution, functions as a wire-replacement in networks requiring short hop communication of analog or digital data. By replacing wire, the FGRIO saves time during installation, eliminates property damage concerns, and integrates into the overall wireless 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. system. The FGRIO solution is designed to eliminate the time delays, high cost, standalone nature, and safety hazards of wired systems, while also automating communication within a site. Additionally, FreeWave's FGRIO-S transceiver is available with two new connector options that securely attach and detach from the transceiver board, allowing the user greater versatility when wiring the radio. The new connectors are compatible with the field standard 14 gauge wire. FreeWave's connectors are available in either a straight angle or 90 degree form factor. "The UL approval gives another operating key to the FGRIO system, while extending the diverse possibilities of where the I/O system can be used. The FGRIO is fully integrated in SCADA systems for tank levels, pressure and temperature monitoring, cathodic protection Cathodic protection (CP) is a technique to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making that surface the cathode of an electrochemical cell. It is a method used to protect metal structures from corrosion. and many more applications," says Colin Lippincott, VP Sales and Marketing for FreeWave. "Complete with the new connector options, FGRIO is the most reliable, fully integrated 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. system."
