Fuelled by market demand for affordable, heavy-duty wireless equipment, AeroComm has released its ACE family of RF modems. The ACE6490 and ACE6790 are housed in rugged NEMA-4x enclosures, designed to withstand the rigours of extreme weather or other severe surroundings. Each product delivers variable output power up to 1W at 900MHz, maximising range in even the toughest environmental conditions.

ACE products embed two distinct protocols to offer unmatched flexibility for rugged applications.

The ACE6790 uses dynamic peer-to-peer protocol for enabling mesh topology, whereas the ACE6490 employs AeroComm's signature server/client networking architecture.

Both products instill the reliability expected from AeroComm's field-proven frequency hopping spread spectrum technology.

ACEs are ideal for any application where weather or other harsh environments are a concern.

The devices are designed specifically to handle these extreme conditions without sacrificing performance.

Typical applications include Scada, industrial control, outdoor signage and utility monitoring.

A convenient and cost-efficient feature of the ACE products is the ability to use them with AeroComm's existing 900MHz solutions.

Both ACE6490 and ACE6790 transceivers have compatible over-the-air communications with all 4490- and 4790-series ConnexLink and OEM modules.

Users can save additional cost by using ACE in the harsh area while communicating wirelessly to other AeroComm products in nonharsh areas.

'Many of our existing customers asked for a reasonably-priced NEMA-rated wireless solution - mainly because other products on the market today demand huge premiums for outdoor usage', said John Eckart, Vice President of Sales.

'The new ACE gives them affordable RF, rugged packaging, excellent range, and complete cross-functionality with all of our 900MHz products'.

All AeroComm 900MHz transceivers use FHSS technology, employ data-encryption standards and support transmit-power levels of up to 1W.

ACE evaluation kits are available, featuring two transceivers, antennas, power supplies and cabling to assist customers in assessment.

Individual ACE units will sell for $399 each in small volumes.
