Wireless: problems or solutions?

25 January 2006 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

The industry of wireless communications has been around for more that 12 years now, with the first GSM phones having arrived pre-1994. The cellular phone has now become a household tool with numerous people no longer having home telephones.

But why is the industrial user of wireless data communication still nervous to use proven technology?

Previous models in the wireless data field have progressed like mobile handsets, where the signal was bad and the dropping of calls was almost guaranteed - yet this was acceptable?

The technology of today's data modems has now progressed to give the same added benefits and performance as would the cellular telephone, except with a lot more options. Not known by the public mostly, but the wireless data market consists of many devices which offer different options to the user for communications - from short ranges to infinity.

One company, Integrate & Autom8, is able to provide prospective wireless users with a practical solution to communicate data from point-to-point, or otherwise, from point-to-multipoint, with quality-guaranteed equipment designed and manufactured by leading international organisations. Solutions include technologies such as: GSM/GPRS, UHF/VHF, Bluetooth, IEEE802.11, 2,4 Ghz and DECT.

With technologies like these for communication of data, it is often confusing as to what must be used along with how the actual system works, and for this reason, Integrate & Autom8 offers technical assistance on all the different technologies so that the client can have all solutions under one umbrella. Contact them for the latest wireless solution catalogue.
