DANBURY, Conn. — ComNet, a manufacturer of fiber optic transmission and networking equipment, announces the introduction of its Generation 3 line of NetWave wireless products.
The NW1 Gen 3 increases throughput up to 240 Mbps, adds a 10/100/1000Mbps port and pass-through PoE, and is designed for applications of up to 2 miles, according to the company. The new NW1 throughput is greater than the original 95Mbps the original NW1 offered.
The NW1 is also available in kit form as the NWK1, and consists of two MAC Address-locked radios and mounting hardware. Each NW1 unit is enclosed in a new durable enclosure and is designed for extreme conditions and has an extended operating temperature range, as well as being IP67-rated for resistance to water and dust intrusion.
According to Andrew Acquarulo Jr., ComNet CEO and President, “Our engineering team was challenged to increase performance in our next generation of NetWave products. We wanted to increase performance without increasing the cost to our customers,” says Andrew Acquarulo Jr., ComNet CEO and president. “This new NW1 accomplished all our goals for this product line.”
ComNet says the NW1 also features a unique connection procedure using LEDs to assist in aiming the units for optimal performance.
“The increased performance of the NW1 allowed us to reduce our NetWave model offering and ultimately make selecting the right NetWave product very easy for our customers,” says Skip Haight, ComNet vice president of marketing. “We believe everybody is looking for that something extra and, in this case, we are giving ComNet customers increased performance at no additional cost,”
