Swelite W-DMX is based on the technology and thinking of GSM, with the same security of transmission including Frequency Hopping (FHSS) and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) once developed by the US Army for safe and encrypted communication during wartime. With 999 different FHSS patterns and TDMA it's more or less impossible to get interference from other equipment on the 2,4 GHz band. To make it even safer the company has included encryption on the signal from sender to receiver so that each receiver only listens to its master sender and ignores all other signals.
The system is used for both point to point and point to multipoint. With the possibility of having 8196 receivers to one sender it makes the system unique. The receiver is compact and lightweight size at just 8x6cm and weighs less then 150grams.
With different antenna solutions it's possible to transmit as far as 30 km but with the standard antenna 3.5 km (100 mW, FSPL). The solution is also ideal for OEM production to be built inside fixtures or consoles.
The sender is available in five models: 512, 2048, 4096 and 8192 Channels. In addition there is a compact, plug and play sender called Black Box with 512 channels without display and more advanced settings. The receiver is plug and play direct to the fixture and no further settings have to be done on the receiver.
