Secure, Robust & Reliable Communications

When dealing with wireless communications, reliability and security are important concerns. The robust, reliable Accutech Wireless Instrumentation network is designed to provide peace-of-mind in industrial environments.

Transceiver Communications

All devices are both transmitters and receivers, i.e. transceivers. Each message is sent and verified. If communications are not properly acknowledged, they are re-sent.

Digital Communications

All messages require multiple information bit-matching on frequency synchronization, device identification and location before communication is initiated. Random noise will not be misinterpreted as a message.

Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum

The communication spectrum is spread over different frequencies. Both the transmitter and the receiver are synchronized to hop to different frequencies as the communications continue. This technique has been the backbone of the military's communication security techniques, because it adds security and ensures that noise interference at any one frequency does not block the communications.

Data Rate Communication Optimization

The data transmission rates used in the Wireless Instrumentation network are optimized to allow much more transmission energy per bit of data.

Heartbeat Communications

All devices communicate on a regular basis to establish a healthy heartbeat. Any status changes detected are reported to the base station.

Network Diagnostics

Full network diagnostics accompany every transmission. The base station continuously monitors and reports signal strength, bit error rates, battery life and other indicators of network health.

Communications Error Correcting

All messages contain error-checking bits to ensure error-free transmission. Messages received with errors are re-sent at different frequencies as necessary to complete the communication.

Field Survey

Service providers are available for field survey work.
