Communication and industrial technology has developed rapidly in recent years as breakthroughs and improvements have brought forth new applications. The result is an industrial environment that can run productively, predictably, and with lower risks. In an underground mine this has the potential to bring forth huge improvements in safety and productivity, but a new […]
Wireless communications are well-suited for the oil and gas industry, especially given the often remote locations of production facilities, both on- and offshore. In the past, satellites provided producers with high-latency, low-bandwidth communications sufficient for transmitting telemetry data. But they fell short for system automation controls that required much less latency or for fixed […]
Vega has introduced a new display and calibration module, Plicscom with Bluetooth, which makes the adjustment of sensor parameters so much easier. Equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 technology, the user can now make adjustments without having to uninstall the sensor or even remove the sensor housing cover. This means adjustments can be made from a safe […]
The Future Wireless Technologies Forum V (FWTF V) will be held as a one day debate on 12 May 2016, at Century City Convention Centre, Cape Town, supported by presentations and discussions to unpack the issues and provide inputs for a discussion paper on removing the effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) limitations in the licence […]
RS Components recently announced that the new Raspberry Pi 3 Model B credit-card-sized single-board computer from the Raspberry Pi Foundation is now available to order. Targeting use in industry, in homes and in schools and colleges worldwide, the latest generation of Raspberry Pi incorporates a powerful 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 quad-core processor, said to deliver significantly enhanced […]
Solexy Wireless from RET Automation Controls have released the new RX series antenna coupler, making it easier to use wireless products in hazardous areas. This unique design is the only barrier design that is explosion-proof with an internal intrinsically safe barrier, and allows you to use a standard passive antenna or a cable run […]
Phoenix Contact is expanding its Trusted Wireless 2.0 range of Radioline wireless communication products with an 868-MHz wireless module. This module utilises the 868 MHz frequency, which is publicly available and licence-free in Europe, at a maximum transmission power of 500 mW, facilitating easy communication of I/O signals and serial data. This is particularly useful […]
Poynting Antenna is forecasting growth in the use of 4G/LTE wireless data access, as more users rely on their mobile phones or fixed wireless connections as their primary connection to the internet. The company’s XPOL-6 is a cross-polarised antenna that operates over the GSM and LTE 1,71 to 2,7 GHz frequency band. Its robust waterproof design […]
