New Wireless Automation Level Network Solutions from Siemens.BUFFALO GROVE Buffalo Grove A village of northeast Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Population: 43,300. , Ill. -- Wireless building automation technologies provide new options that solve challenging installation scenarios and remove physical or financial constraints to hard wiring. Leading the industry with their successful debut of the first Wireless Field Level Network, Siemens Building Technologies, Inc., announced today the introduction of a Wireless Automation Level Network (WALN WALN World Association of Lebanese Neurosurgeons ), offering unprecedented system design and implementation flexibility. "With the introduction of Siemens WALN," says Kevin Osburn, Vice President of Building Automation Solutions, "we once again break new ground by offering a proven, end-to-end wireless solution at all levels of the APOGEE apogee (ăp`əjē), point farthest from the earth in the orbit of a body about the earth. See apsis. The farthest point. ([R]) Building Automation System architecture." Wireless connectivity at the automation level is especially desirable when a proposed site's circumstances make running Ethernet cabling physically difficult or prohibitively pro·hib·i·tive also pro·hib·i·to·ry adj. 1. Prohibiting; forbidding: took prohibitive measures. 2. expensive. Whether it is necessary to avoid the need to trench and run wiring between buildings, connect isolated, hard-to-reach panels, or to enable communication independent of the corporate Ethernet network, a Siemens WALN can help keep installed costs in check, while adding new flexibility during the design and implementation phases of a building automation system installation. Siemens uses 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. 802.11 (WiFi) technology to establish 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. for building automation controller and management level networks. To assure compatibility with the latest technologies, Siemens is committed to developing hardware based on open communication standards (such as WiFi and Ethernet). Siemens conducted thorough and rigorous testing and validation with a host of 802.11 products, including the Siemens Scalance[TM] W family of products and those from other leading vendors. Siemens WALN solutions are available now. For more information on APOGEE Wireless, visit: www.usa.siemens.com/wireless.
