FREEWAVE TECHNOLOGIES' FGR2-PE NOW AVAILABLE FOR ALTERNATIVE ENERGY APPLICATIONS

License-free spread spectrum radio combines both serial and Ethernet connectivity and offers reliable communication over long distances

WINDPOWER 2010, Booth #2428, May 24, 2010 -- FreeWave Technologies, (http://www.freewave.com), manufacturer of best-in-class spread spectrum and licensed radios for critical data transmission, today announced the availability of the FGR2-PE for applications in alternative energy markets. The recent addition to FreeWave's FGRplus family of radios has already been successfully used for applications in Smart Grid markets. It offers two ports each of active serial and Ethernet wireless connectors using license-free spread spectrum for long distance data communication. The FGR2-PE also is very well suited for SCADA applications in other markets such as water/wastewater and oil and gas.
"The FGR2-PE is the next generation solution for critical data transmission in all industrial markets, especially those with applications in Smart Grid, wind and solar power," said Colin Lippincott, general manager of renewable energy markets at FreeWave. "Having both serial and Ethernet ports allows users to transition from serial to Ethernet data communication without having to replace RTUs, and get additional ports with additional functionality all at the same time."

WHAT:  Spread Spectrum Systems for EFM and SCADA (Class 3155.1)

As oil and gas companies work toward greater automation and e-business solutions, the challenges of getting real-time, reliable data from remote locations continues to be one of the greatest hurdles. Today, there are many fine choices in electronic flow measurement (EFM) and remote terminal unit (RTU) equipment available. There also are many fine "bug free" software programs to archive, audit and display the collected data. The single biggest problem remains communications. It is a commonly held belief that over 80 percent of all SCADA system problems are communication failures.
A few years ago, a new radio medium became available. This system operates on a shared frequency, and is called spread spectrum. This relatively new technology offers many advantages and new versatility to SCADA operators. Gardner will discuss the benefits and options when using spread spectrum for EFM and SCADA.

Hands-On Training Class - Wireless Communication (Class 973.1)
 
Berridge will lead a hands-on class on how to set up serial networks, using wireless spread spectrum radios. The in-depth demonstration will show participants how they can use spread spectrum radios to incorporate wireless communications radios in a wide variety of applications. Participants will have the chance to configure, test and actually use the radios in a networked configuration as part of their in-class experience.

WHERE: Cox Business Services Convention Center
  Oklahoma City, OK
  
WHEN: Spread Spectrum Systems for EFM and SCADA - Class 3155.1
Wednesday, May 12 from 8 a.m. - 8:50 a.m.
