WHAT IS THE WAVENET WIRELESS LAN?
The WaveNet Wireless LAN is a local area radio data network designed for scaleable, digital radio
data communications, which allows a variety of computer systems to communicate, interactively or
periodically, to a number of remote, mobile data devices.
A WaveNet Radio Data Network consists of a one or more 7000 Base Controllers, and combination of
WaveNet
Radio Data Remote Devices
.
7000 Base Controller
7000 Base Controllers
connect to computer systems and provide
zones
of radio data coverage in
which Radio Data Remote Devices can utilize for radio data communications.
7000 Base Controllers can establish a network of overlapping or discrete radio data coverage zones if
they are interconnected by any combination of Ethernet LAN, serial SLIP, or wireless radio data links.
In such a network, any host computer system connected to any 7000 Base Controller is available to any
Radio Data Remote Device in any radio data coverage area as a 7000 Base Controller “service”.
