unique design results in installation cost saving of between
50-70% where the installation now takes minutes rather than
days.
The WiSNet product utilizes a new long range (1.2 km LOS)
Bluetooth digital radio interface which is plug and play that
makes this wireless product immune to both electromagnetic
and radio interference.
