Wireless redundancy from TruTeq

TruTeq Devices, which focuses on providing wireless connectivity solutions to all market sectors, has extended its Smartoo modem and expansion units with the launch of its new HSPA + wireless Ethernet SPRi (single port router industrial) and its new Ethernet to multiple expansion interfaces.

Smartoo modem’s complimentary expansion units comprise plug-and-play temperature probes, electronic locks, LCD displays, input and output expanders, long range RF piggy back behind GSM connectivity and GPS units.

Derick Roberts, the CEO of TruTeq Devices, said day-to-day challenges in implanting connectivity solutions that are reliable, secure, fast to deploy and maintain, and are still able to be competitive in price are not becoming easier.

“Combine these challenges with an ever increasing deteriorating copper network and associated infrastructure prone to long installation lead times and never-ending maintenance outage delays from both theft and lightning, rain and water onslaughts and you have a disaster waiting to happen.”

TruTeq SPRi routers offer dual SIM network redundancy, complete with diverse antenna solutions which empowers the device to automatically look for fastest connectivity available and switch over automatically when connectivity cannot be achieved.

Where ADSL type of connections are still in working order, the HSPA+ SPRi can provide a wireless bridge mode redundancy option to keep networks alive when the copper connection fails.

The built-in power supply of the SPRi allows for uptime from battery-driven backup packs, even when the electricity provider fails. Meanwhile, SIM card packages from the GSM operators have become attractive not only in data cost offerings but also in options for amortising hardware deployment costs over contract periods.

“This is easily achievable, even for typical CCTV or video verification solutions in moving vehicles from a DC power supply environment, extending wireless networking to IP camera solutions, DVRs with cheaper analogue solutions and even Wi-Fi based camera solutions.”
