NetWave® Radio Meets Demands from Industrial Markets

ComNet, Communication Networks of Danbury, Connecticut, a USA-based manufacturer of fiber optic transmission and networking equipment, expands the NetWave wireless Ethernet product line with a new, hardened unit for use in challenging applications. The new model is an Ultra-High Throughput Impact-Resistant, Hardened Wireless Ethernet link.

The new models supports a 500 Mbps throughput and features the same ease of usebenefits offered by the entire NetWave® line. The 500Mbps is the highest throughput of any NetWave model and is the ideal solution when multiple IPCCTV cameras need to be connected back to the central monitoring location. The NW-9 can be used over distances of up to four miles under ideal conditions.

This new model, the NetWave NW-9 is enclosed in a rugged aluminum case that can be used in the most extreme environments and the company foresees use in industrial and transportation applications where there is a potential for shock and impact.

According to Andrew Acquarulo Jr., ComNet president and COO, “we have enjoyed a great amount of success in a very short time with the entire NetWave product line. 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.
