e extremely difficult. Tel-Tron had been<br />
looking for a reliable wireless technology<br />
for years and finally chose ZigBee mesh<br />
technology. The company determined<br />
the self-healing, node-hopping nature of<br />
ZigBee technology was the most reliable<br />
solution for its needs and selected Digi<br />
International’s XBee ZigBee modules.<br />
XBees provide reliability for<br />
mission-critical application<br />
In a Tel-Tron emergency call system,<br />
assisted living community residents each<br />
carry a pendant 24/7. The pendant allows<br />
the resident to call for help if he / she falls<br />
or needs any kind of emergency assistance.<br />
Additionally, fire, security and other safety<br />
alarms are scattered throughout the<br />
community. When an alarm is triggered or<br />

Digi International’s XBee ZigBee modules<br />
enable reliable wireless communication<br />
between the receiver and the control<br />
equipment.<br />
a resident presses the button on his / her<br />
pendant, a wireless signal is sent to a receiver<br />
which communicates this information back<br />
to the control equipment being monitored<br />
by emergency response personnel. In the<br />
wired version, the receivers are connected<br />
to the control equipment using CAT 5<br />
cable. In the wireless set up, each receiver<br />
includes an XBee module to enable wireless<br />
communication between the receiver and<br />
the control equipment.<br />
If someone has a heart attack or someone<br />
falls down and breaks a hip, a call for help is<br />
not an optional communication, but rather<br />
it has to be fail-safe, therefore a reliable<br />
vendor is vital. The receivers are positioned<br />
to create redundancies within range of each<br />
transmitter. Multiple receivers allow for<br />
multiple routes back to the transmitter. This<br />
maintains system integrity if any node fails.<br />
Self-healing is an important feature of a<br />
ZigBee mesh network. Mesh networks are<br />
decentralized in nature; each node is selfrouting<br />
and able to connect to other nodes<br />
as needed. This allows a ZigBee mesh<br />
network to repair itself if there is any node<br />
failure or communication breakdown.<br />
A strong partnership<br />
The first wireless installation was deployed<br />
in November 2008 and currently seven<br />
wireless configurations are installed<br />
that feature XBee technology. One of the<br />
installations features 165 XBee ZigBee<br />
nodes scattered over 100 acres. They not<br />
only needed good technology, but also<br />
proper layout of the technology. Digi added<br />
features and functionality to the XBee<br />
modules to ensure it met their specifications<br />
and critical communication needs. Digi is<br />
actively interested in its customers and make<br />
permanent enhancements to their products<br />
to allow niche applications. Whether<br />
firmware support or physical packaging,<br />
they understand how people are using<br />
their products and are flexible, helpful and<br />
interested in their customers’ success.<br />

Talk2M – Remote Control for Health<br />
Das Unternehmen IBA aus Belgien ist ein weltweit führender Hersteller von Lösungen<br />
zur Diagnose und Behandlung von Krebskrankheiten. Dazu gehören auch Teilchenbeschleuniger<br />
zur Produktion von Radiopharmazeutika. Um eine noch hygienischere<br />
und sicherere Produktion von Fluor-Deoxyglykose (FDG) zu ermöglichen,<br />
wird der neue Rhodotron-Teilchenbeschleuniger mit Hilfe der Fernwartungs-Komplettlösung<br />
Talk2M in Verbindung mit der Hardware eWON aus dem Hause Wachendorff<br />
überwacht.<br />
The IBA Company of Belgium is a leading global provider of solutions for the diagnosis<br />
and treatment of cancer. This includes particle accelerators for the production<br />
of radiopharmaceuticals. In order to enable a more hygienic and safer production of<br />
fluorine-Deoxyglykose (FDG), the new Rhodotron particle accelerator will be monitored<br />
using the remote maintenance solution Talk2M in conjunction with the eWON<br />
hardware from Wachendorff.<br />
In der Universitätsklinik von Gand, Belgien,<br />
ist ein solcher Teilchenbeschleuniger<br />
von IBA im Einsatz. Er dient zur Produktion<br />
von FDG, einem Glucoseabkömmling, der<br />
in den Zuckerstoffwechsel von Tumoren<br />
eingeschleust wird. FDG kann vor und nach<br />
der Therapie zur Verlaufskontrolle eingesetzt<br />
werden. Damit gelingt es, Tumore<br />
nachzuweisen oder auszuschließen.<br />
Im Falle eines vermeintlichen oder tatsächlichen<br />
Maschinenfehlers oder bei sonstigen<br />
Fragen, möchte IBA schnellstmöglich<br />
zur Stelle sein. Die bisher 80 ausgelieferten<br />
Teilchenbeschleuniger sind weltweit<br />
