ZumLink Radio Series Called A 'New Generation' Of Wireless IoT radio Technology
FreeWave Technologies has unveiled its next generation of industry-changing wireless IoT Sensor-2-Server (S2S) solutions, the high-performance ZumLink Family, which the company says represents an entirely new class of wireless IoT communication solutions.
The new system offers a flexible new radio design that supports a link rate of up to 4Mbps PLUS the ability to support third-party applications on top of the versatile communications platform. These capabilities provide customers with increased bandwidth, lower power consumption and endless possibilities for collecting, protecting, transporting and controlling data from the network end points all the way back to the server.
"The new ZumLink Family represents an evolution for FreeWave and opens up brand new communication possibilities for our customers," said Scott Allen, CMO at FreeWave Technologies. "By combining amazing radio performance with an intelligent platform, ZumLink enables customers to tailor their IoT communications to whatever they need, commercial or industrial, and also provides the ability to develop custom software applications for their future technology requirements."
The initial release of ZumLink will feature four powerful platforms within its 900 Series consisting of two radio modules, a board level embeddable and a fully enclosed device, all four of which operate in the 900MHz unlicensed frequency range.
