Remote Control Technology Announces New Product Wireless Switch System; The WSS was Designed for Industrial Companies Seeking Immediate Implementation of Wireless Technology.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 1, 2003 Remote Control Technology (RCT RCT Randomized Controlled Trial RCT Regimental Combat Team (infantry regiment with their own artillery, engineers, medical and tanks) RCT Rollercoaster Tycoon RCT Randomized Clinical Trial RCT Rhondda Cynon Taff ), a leading developer of adaptable wireless switching systems, today announced the launch of its Wireless Switch System(TM) (WSS WSS Windows Sharepoint Services (Microsoft) WSS Web Services Security (OASIS) WSS Wavelength Selective Switch (Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer) ), offering the control of a broad range of industrial equipment without the added expense and complication of hard-wiring. The WSS was designed specifically for pump and conveyor industries with immediate needs for wireless switching devices; however, other suitable applications include the control of valves, relays, center pivots, lights, alarms, PLC's and many other devices. "Through research and by speaking to our customers regularly we understand what industries want from wireless technology," says Remote Control Technology Sales Manager Jim McClung. "Companies with immediate switching needs don't have the time or resources required to hard-wire facilities and don't need complicated wireless equipment." Because the WSS is license-free technology, (meaning there is no coordination needed, no payment fees to use the spectrum and no waiting period required by the FCC (1) (Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, www.fcc.gov) The U.S. government agency that regulates interstate and international communications including wire, cable, radio, TV and satellite. The FCC was created under the U.S. to authorize and approve use), it maximizes the benefits of wireless technology, with a simple, rapidly deployable solution. Easy to install, the WSS requires no trenching, boring or cable laying thereby affording the remarkable ability to control equipment from remote locations where hard-wiring is not only expensive due to the distance between stations (an average $40 per foot), but often impossible due to steep, rocky and remote terrain or lack of easements. Operating at 27.255 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. via a proprietary transmission code, the WSS is capable of secure, long-range switching with either a stationary Transmitter or a Sidekick(TM) mobile hand-held Transmitter. In addition, solar panel kits are available to supply power to locations where electricity is unavailable. About Remote Control Technology (www.remotecontroltech.com) Founded in 1982, Remote Control Technology (RCT) is the leading developer of RF (radio frequency) wireless communication systems. The rugged, easy-to-use FM transmitters and receivers are durable, operate at long range and are guaranteed to perform. With thousands of units sold, Remote Control Technology is found in many PLC (programmable logic controller See PLC. (hardware) Programmable Logic Controller - (PLC) A device used to automate monitoring and control of industrial plant. Can be used stand-alone or in conjunction with a SCADA or other system. ) and 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.

SCADA systems are highly configurable, and usually interface to the plant via PLCs. ) systems. Remote Control Technology's clients include The Smithsonian Institute, Microsoft, Mobile/Exxon, California Department of Transportation The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is a government agency in the U.S. state of California. Its mission is to improve mobility across the state. It manages the state highway system and is actively involved with public transportation systems in California. . Wireless products are used at prominent facilities such as Safeco Field, Pac Bell Field, The Cincinnati Zoo, as well as hundreds of airports, parks and industrial facilities. The company also manufactures custom RF radio telemetry systems for the U.S. Army 101st Airborne Division. Currently serving military, irrigation irrigation, in agriculture, artificial watering of the land. Although used chiefly in regions with annual rainfall of less than 20 in. (51 cm), it is also used in wetter areas to grow certain crops, e.g., rice. , pump, conveyor and facility management industries, Remote Control Technology is located in Redmond, Washington and unconditionally guarantees the performance of its wireless products.
