Process Expo 2009 preview: Throughput Technologies - Stand H2

May 2009 Fieldbus & Industrial Networking

Throughput Technologies will be a showcasing a variety of industrial networking products, visit its stand to see:

Westermo 3G/HSDPA Router

A live data link from the show, through a virtual private network (VPN) to an IP camera at Westermo’s offices at Southampton in the UK will be on display. Westermo’s MRD-330 HSDPA/3G/GPRS Router will be used to create the high-speed link through the VPN to a Westermo DR-250 DSL router in Westermo’s workshop area.

Ethernet extenders

The Wolverine series Ethernet extenders are capable of extending Ethernet networks on legacy copper cables. Data rates up to 5,7 Mbit/s and operating distance of up to 15 kilometres at lower data rates can be achieved. Visit stand H2 to see a special demonstration of the Wolverine Series extenders running on a ‘typical’ South African network – razor wire.
