Interactive server simplifies telecontrol
The IVS interactive vocal server makes it possible to remotely control a range of previously isolated pieces of equipment from fixed or mobile telephones.
M2M convertor goes wireless
PSTN/GPRS convertor lets devices previously plugged into the wired phone network benefit from the flexibility, the mobility and the rates of GSM/GPRS networks.
The rf2IP network is particularly suitable for low-rate machine-to-machine (M2M) communication with a range of over 200m in an open area - power consumption is optimised for operation from batteries.
eDevice will be at the MD and M West 2005 (Electronics West 2005) trade show in Anaheim (California) from 10th to 12th January 2005.
The simplicity and user-friendliness of eDevices rf2IP facility put the exploitation of the power of the internet within the scope of all product designers.
The bidirectional rf2IP network consists of an eDgate (Internet gateway) and between up to 16 eDnodes (radio nodes), and operates in the 868/915MHz frequency band.
The rf2IP solution thus provides all the features needed to operate a local network.
eDevices rf2IP can, for example, easily be used to set up a temperature probe for monitoring the cold chain in a warehouse.
Detectors for displaying door and relay opening/closing and for setting off alarms can also be connected to the same network.
All the data can be recorded and dispatched weekly to an FTP server.
When an anomaly is detected, an email is sent to a technician who can then inspect the state of the probes using his web browser.
Powerful, flexible and easy to use, rf2IP has the added advantage of requiring only a small investment.
An rf2IP POTS/PSTN evaluation kit - including an eDgate for the telephone system, two eDnodes and the eDevice SDK - is available at Eur 500.
The evaluation kit is also available for LAN/Ethernet or GPRS networks.
