We are now starting to uncover unique needs for the product line. As NetWave has become so accepted, demand for a truly hardened unit that still met the IP67 standard and could stand up to rigor of a truly industrial applications became a high priority. The NW-9 is that solution.”

“These new additions to the NetWave product line continues to round out an impressive product line. As with the entire NetWave product line, these new models feature the same ease of use and setup attributes that we designed into theinitial wireless product line,” Acquarulo said.
