) solutions, today announced the certification of the WiBox[?] wireless device server from Lantronix (Nasdaq: LTRX) and the availability of an integrated solution to enhance its 303 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.  and 433 MHz active RFID readers A transmitter/receiver that reads the contents of RFID tags in the vicinity. Also called an "RFID interrogator." The maximum distance between the reader's antenna and the tag vary, depending on application.  with 802.11 b/g wireless network capabilities.

"The Lantronix wireless device server is the perfect add-on option for our enterprise asset tracking customers," said Dr. Nissim Ozer, chief technology officer of RF Code. "Asset data, which is monitored by our secure, low frequency infrastructure, can easily be backhauled over existing corporate IT backbones. It is ideal for asset tracking software applications and security system installations, where running network cable is not feasible or cost-effective."

Mantis II readers are key elements within the company's award-winning TAVIS platform. RF CodeeIUs active RFID tags An RFID tag that has its own power source. Contrast with passive RFID tag. See RFID and RFID tag.  and readers have the collective ability to relay asset data directly to corporate networks allowing for enterprise solutions to be developed without impacting the existing IT architecture.

RF CodeeIUs RTLS solution combined with the Lantronix device server are faster to deploy in enterprise settings with 802.11 Wi-Fi networks See wireless Ethernet and 802.11. . The Lantronix WiBox unit has been tested and certified See certification.  by RF Code to operate with its readers.

"This enhanced offering allows flexible asset tracking solutions without disrupting existing enterprise networks," said Peter Sola, executive vice president of RF Code. "Our 303 MHz and 433 MHz tags and readers enable high performance, real-time location of people and assets without taxing enterprise IT infrastructures or requiring installation of new 802.11 access points."

RF CodeeIUs 303 MHz and 433 MHz systems feature high-performance, low-cost active RFID tags which beacon their locations and optional sensor data at programmed intervals. Location and condition data is processed by software programs which filter and consolidate information that can be processed by corporate databases and security systems.

The new, enhanced dual-port Lantronix WiBox provides 802.11 b/g wireless capabilities for high bandwidth data throughput. The WiBox also provides a unique bridging capability which allows an Ethernet device, such as the Mantis reader, to be connected to an 802.11 wireless network. The WiBox is an industrial-grade product with a high operating temperature range and ruggedized enclosure enclosure (inclosure) n. land bounded by a fence, wall, hedge, ditch or other physical evidence of boundary. Unfortunately, too often these creations are not included among the actual legally-described boundaries and cause legal problems.
