OVERVIEW
WinSystems’ PPM-Wireless is a PC/104-Plus module that supports 802.11b/g wireless communications. The technology provides a high-speed, industrial data network based upon MiniPCI wireless modules and the Ethernet utilizing a TCP/IP protocol stack. This means that standard CAT5 Ethernet cable is replaced by a radio channel which simplifies cabling installation and configuration issues. Lack of cabling makes moves, additions, and changes easy for installed networks. Also, the portable nature of wireless networks lets engineers pre-configure and troubleshoot entire networks before installing them at remote locations. Once configured, a system can be moved from place to place with little or no modification.
Applications include high bandwidth remote communications, MPEG video streaming, mobile environments, remote surveillance, and protocol conversion.
