Our featured article this week, Wireless for M2M Industrial Control - I can get to the data, now what?, was written by DPAC Technologies. The article discusses wired vs. wireless networks and the three basic network architectures. Each of these architectures has distinct advantages and the best architecture for your application will depend on how the data is to be used.
Next month, Citect is hosting a one-day conference in three different cities: Elmhurst, NY; Columbus, OH and Houston, TX. The conference will focus on current and emerging trends in SCADA Technology and innovations in the performance and management of business. During the conference, Citect will introduce the features, benefits and application of CitectSCADA and CitectIIM (Industrial Information Management). For more information or to register for this conference please visit www.citect.com/events/conf_americas.
In this issue, we're also featuring the Airborne™ Wireless LAN Product Catalog with product information on a line of 802.11b wireless LAN modules.
Our Featured Products this issue are the new AirborneDirect™ Serial LAN from DPAC Technologies and ASI's complete line of Pushbuttons, Pilot Lights, Switches & E-Stops.

Wireless for M2M Industrial Control - I can get to the data, now what? Technologies that enable factory and sensor equipment to connect to the network typically focus on connecting equipment "A" to workstation "B" over network "C". That's all fine and well if, at the end of the day, the data gets used. Given the range, cost and installation issues, Wi-Fi (802.11b) is often the best choice for connecting equipment and sensors to a network. Read full article (PDF) by DPAC Technologies

Airborne™ Wireless LAN Product Catalog Airborne™ is a line of highly integrated 802.11b modules offered by DPAC Technologies®. The wireless module includes a radio, a base-band processor, an application processor, and software for a "drop-in" web-enabled WiFi solution. In addition, the AirborneDirect™ product family provides "plug-and-play" LAN and Internet connectivity to the installed-base of industrial OEM applications that have an existing Serial or Ethernet communications interface. Since there's no need to develop the software, or to develop the RF and communications expertise in-house, OEMs can realize reduced product development costs and a quick time-to-market.
