Technology Overview
<strong>FreeWave</strong> I/O <strong>for</strong> <strong>Rockwell</strong><br />
Technology Overview<br />
What is Wireless I/O?<br />
• Replaces wires with wireless radio<br />
frequency technology to measure<br />
sensor outputs and control process<br />
elements using digital and analog<br />
signals<br />
• <strong>FreeWave</strong> has the industry’s best<br />
radios <strong>for</strong> frequency-hopping spread<br />
spectrum radios <strong>for</strong> unlicensed<br />
frequencies and reliable licensed<br />
frequencies with distances over 60<br />
miles<br />
