Position switch with radio technology Wireless
steute Schaltgeräte
The steute business field "Wireless" is continuing to expand the number of possible industrial applications for its innovative "energy harvesting" radio technology. A few months ago we presented an electrodynamic energy generator which demonstrated a considerably longer lifespan (over a million switching cycles) and a far higher switching frequency (up to 1,800 switching cycles per hour) than previously available components. Now steute is introducing a new radio standard which, amongst other things, has the advantage of a longer-range wireless connection. This makes it possible to operate wireless switchgear at ranges of up to 700m outdoors, without an energy supply. The radio protocol uses the 868 MHz waveband, or 915 MHz in the North American version. The 915 MHz version is certified in accordance with FCC and IC; CSA/UL certification is in preparation.
