ConnexLink Data Radios

ConnexLink

Plug-and-play RS232 FHSS transceivers enable local-area communication in industrial, commercial and office applications. Powered by a 10mW or 200mW radio in the license-free 2.4 GHz ISM band. ConnexLink is an ideal solution for serial data communications.

How it Works

The complete system is comprised of a central ConnexLink node (server) and any number of remote nodes (clients) that operate in point-to-point or point-to-multipoint configurations. Users can create multiple sub-networks by assigning unique radio addresses to specific device groups. ConnexLink is the most flexible, affordable RF serial data device available for both consumers and OEMs. The system can be set up in minutes. And because it uses frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology, it provides reliable communication at up to 115.2 Kbps even in RF-hostile environments.

Certifications

The 2.4 GHz ISM band is approved virtually worldwide as an unlicensed radio spectrum subject to approval by device. ConnexLink transceivers are approved for operation by FCC (USA), IC (Canada) and CE (Europe). No additional certification is required.

Weigh Scales
Easy-to-install ConnexLink replaces cable for retro-fitting and new installs, so you can access weight and measurement data wirelessly.

Process Control
Set up any factory more conveniently. Process engineers can quickly move RS232 links from machine to machine without costly wiring.

Kiosks & P.O.S.
Small and portable, ConnexLinks make it possible to set up equipment where it best serves customers. Use at retail stores, service stations, events, etc.

Data Logging
Upload data to your PC from your loggers or monitors without getting up from the chair. Use ConnexLinks for tank level monitoring, control instruments, etc.
 

Electronic Signs
Faster, cheaper and less invasive than trenching to lay cable, ConnexLinks simply attach to the serial ports of the PC sign or scoreboard.
