| The AIRcable Industrial Wireless Cables Inc. unveils its next-generation intelligent Bluetooth Device, the AIRcable Industrial. Based on our patented AIRmote technology, it combines three cutting edge technologies—programmable autonomous mesh nodes, data loggers, and industry-standard Bluetooth 2.0 compatibility—into a versatile, small form factor device. The unit, which fits in the palm of your hand, gathers data using intelligent sensors, runs computations, sends messages, transfers files, and communicates using standard Bluetooth technology. These compact units can be clustered together to create a low-power, highly flexible mesh communications networks that can interact with other nodes and other Bluetooth compatible devices such as PCs, cell phones, laptops, and handhelds. The AIRcable Industrial is an intelligent, autonomous device that can be easily programmed wirelessly to run applications written in standard BASIC with no code compiler required. In addition, it has its own file system where data acquired and controlled by its data logging functions can be stored. And, you can upload and download files via the Bluetooth OBEX-FTP protocol for total data security using Palm or pocket PC handhelds, cell phones, laptops, and PCs. The standards-based AIRcable Industrial can be a huge cost savings in terms of software development, hardware requirements and time-to-deployment compared to other proprietary motes technologies, like Zigbee. Among the numerous industrial applications for these devices are: soil moisture and weather monitoring for agricultural environments such as vineyards, GPS truck tracking with monitoring, power line or oil/gas pipeline monitoring, medical device monitoring, autonomous robot swarms, and machine control. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
