.jpg) Minneapolis, MN - February 20, 2008 - Banner Engineering Corp. announces the SureCross™ DX70 Wireless Developer’s Kit, consisting of a Gateway and one Node transceiver to enable on-site wireless testing. The ready to use, self-contained kit provides battery boxes with test buttons and indicator lights simulating inputs and outputs to determine an application’s specific range and response time requirements. Plus, the SureCross DX70 Wireless Developer’s Kit contains three white papers that cover basic radio, network and antenna theory. This educational information provides an overview of the technology behind SureCross, a rugged wireless solution delivering I/O across ranges up to three miles away for remote installations, as well as solving a wide variety of cumbersome or difficult-to-access applications. The SureCross Network employs a Node transceiver to gather information, which is then concentrated at the Gateway system controller. The network’s bidirectional communication capabilities facilitate robust monitoring and control, while its Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) protocol and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) technology ensure dependable, secure communications. With the new SureCross DX70 Wireless Developer’s Kit, users can test signal strength, range, I/O types and response times at various locations and conditions within their unique environments. The SureCross DX70 Wireless Developer’s Kit is available for only $295. “The SureCross Wireless Network provides reliable, easy-to-use wireless sensing and data transfer for remote applications and hard-to-reach locations,” said Chris Dales, Senior Application Engineer, Banner Wireless Division. “Now, the SureCross DX70 Wireless Developer’s Kit allows users who have been wondering about wireless networks to test their applications’ specific requirements and possible obstacles before investing in a complete network.” In addition, several features of the SureCross DX70 Wireless Developer’s Kit make it particularly easy to set up and use: About Banner.
