Wireless Network Extender Radio System

Industry-Leading Wireless Network Expansion When It Makes Sense For Your Needs.

At CMC we take a pragmatic approach to wireless monitoring.  We have many years of experience and numerous successful wireless installations in the field, but will only ever recommend the installation and use of our wireless radios in situations where it is absolutely necessary, such as mobile tripper or conveyor applications.  We do not recommend the use of wireless monitoring as a standard for general hazard monitoring applications.  There is no discernible cost benefit when compared to hard wiring a typical CMC single wire network.  Additional issues with bandwidth and battery lifespan should also be considered when applying a wireless solution. 

The Network Extender Radio System extends the CMC Modbus RS-485 network for the mBC083 Bus Converter. The Network Extender Radio is a key component in a wireless condition monitoring system for monitoring mobile devices or to extend the CMC HazMon network between buildings or where cabling is impractical or expensive.

• Wireless network expansion when needed – simple and economical
• Fast and easy wireless condition monitoring for mobile devices
• Network powered radio system – no battery replacement or failure worries
• Radio installed in rugged, industrial-duty XP enclosure – built to last
• Field proven system – thousands of sensors installed and working every day!
