Australia’s embattled construction sector could benefit from cloud based information systems that can be switched on and off in lockstep with individual projects – with the exception of those organisations based in remote areas like the Kimberleys.

Sydney, 19 December 2006 - Asia Pacific distributor Wired & Wireless Solutions International has released the latest Data-Linc modem from their FastLinc family in Australia.
The FastLinc 820G (FLC820G) offers high-speed communications (up to 54 Mbps) and flexible networking architectures using the IEEE 802.11g/b wireless standards. With its high-speed capability and industrial grade design, the FLC820G is ideal for demanding applications such as wireless Ethernet I/O, PLC communications, remote video and HMI/OPC server applications.
The FastLinc Family of IEEE 802.11 Industrial Ethernet Wireless Modems offers four distinct modems that provide high-speed, secure wireless communications using 2.4 GHz direct sequence technology available in stand-alone Ethernet (FLC810E, FLC810E+ and FLC820G) and PCMCIA card (FLC800C) models for single device or multiple device capabilities. With an output power much higher than commercial 802.11b/g products and rugged design, the FastLinc family is ideal for industrial SCADA and factory automation systems.
The new FLC820G includes Station Adapter, Access Point, and Access Point with Repeater operation modes. Access Point with repeater mode eliminates the need to install Ethernet cable to each access point and extends range by creating a wireless mesh network. Rated at a range up to 17 km with unobstructed line-of-sight (farther using additional FLC820Gs in AP with repeating mode).
The FLC820G is ideal for wireless Ethernet communications in challenging industrial environments. When extended lengths of coaxial cable are required, communication can still meet ranges up to 10 miles by using an amplifier at the Master location that boosts RF power to 1 Watt.
The FLC820G has the ability to connect multiple Ethernet devices in Station Adaptor mode and utilizes WPAPSK encryption and authentication for security.
The FLC820G is housed in a sturdy, compact steel enclosure with an optional DIN rail clip for mounting. It is designed for harsh environments and has an extended operating temperature of -40 to +70°C. It may be powered from 12 or 24 VDC power source (115 VAC power supply included) or powered over the Ethernet cable using an optional injector.
The FLC820G is easy to configure and trouble shoot using a web browser to access an internal web server or the software configuration utility that is included.
All Data-Linc products provide field proven performance and come with industrial grade support that includes pre-sale project consultation, post-sale tech assistance with PLC expertise and site survey planning as part of the Wired & Wireless Solutions International commitment.
