The first prototypes of the W-DMX product range were shown in 2004 - winning a PLASA Award for Innovation for its W-DMX transceiver by "taking wireless data to new levels," according to the judges. "We are really excited to be showing our product line in the US for the first time," says Wireless Solutions' international product manager, Niclas Arvidsson. "We are proud of what we have achieved with W-DMX and feel that it offers unparalleled reliability and ease-of use. America is the home of the technical spectacular, and this is an environment to which our products are ideally suited."
Products in the W-DMX range consist of a W-DMX Receiver, W-DMX Transmitter, W-DMX Transceiver and W-DMX Booster and include battery powered, uninterruptible power supply, OEM and IP65 versions. W-DMX can be used to cover distances of over 3,000ft using the standard antenna. An optional larger antenna makes distances of over 18 miles possible.
W-DMX uses adaptive frequency hopping with Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK) modulation and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), which allows a single radio frequency to support multiple, simultaneous data channels. The technology employed by Wireless Solutions for W-DMX is based on technologies developed for the GSM mobile phone network and the US Military. W-DMX products are pending for UL and approved for use by the FCC in addition to being CE and ETSI certified, say the company.
W-DMX by Wireless Solutions have been used in high profile projects all over the world, including the Sony Ericsson launch of V.O70 for Volvo Ocean Race, British Royal Opera house, Stoke City, Yuanan TV Station, Televisa in Mexico and Montreux Jazz Festival, for example.
At the ETS-LDI show, Wireless Solutions' can be found on booth 827 where visitors will have the chance to win a W-DMX system worth over $3,000. The company is also looking to expand its existing North American dealer network and will be available at the ETS-LDI show to discuss dealer, distributor and OEM opportunities.
