Radiocrafts And Tritech Launch Platform For Wireless Communication In Embedded Systems

Oslo, Norway -- Radiocrafts AS, a supplier of wireless RF modules for communication in the license-free frequency bands and Tritech Technology AB, a supplier of wireless mesh networking technology, launched a new family of products suitable for integration in embedded systems. The MeshNET enabled radio modules, designed and manufactured by Radiocrafts, offer integrators a simple modem interface to a complex network environment. A 2-way serial interface and a Windows based server with a high level API simplifies integration into virtually any sensor or data collection solution.

The Tritech MeshNET is an architecture for narrowband wireless network communication where all nodes in a network cooperate to transport information, almost like on the Internet. By using many small low-power radio modems, a narrowband wireless network can cover large geographical areas utilizing the license-free frequency bands. A mesh network is by nature self-configuring and self-healing thus offering redundancy and low maintenance.

"We are committed to offer scalable, flexible and open wireless mesh solutions for embedded environments. Our cooperation with Radiocrafts AS is an important milestone in our effort to meet the demand for an open, flexible and easily integrated industrial strength communication platform. With MeshNET technology our customers can focus on developing solutions and services into their operation", says Thomas Jonsson, Business Area Manager Tritech Products.

"By adding the unique MeshNET protocol to our long-range narrow-band RF modules, we can now offer a complete wireless module solution for automatic meter reading, sensor and control applications", says Peder Martin Evjen, Managing Director of Radiocrafts AS.
