OXNARD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 18, 2007--CalAmp Corp.
(NASDAQ:CAMP), a leading provider of wireless products, today
announced the introduction of the ViPR(TM) Wireless IP Router/Modem.
The ViPR(TM) enables true end-to-end wireless Ethernet connectivity
over licensed spectrum in VHF or UHF frequencies for
machine-to-machine (M2M) communications.
As the industry's first integrated end-to-end wireless Ethernet
product for narrowband licensed spectrum, the ViPR(TM) overcomes
limitations of traditional non-licensed spectrum devices such as range
or susceptibility to interference and therefore is the ideal solution
for SCADA, Telemetry and other critical data communication
applications. Higher receive sensitivity in narrowband installations,
data rates of up to 32 kbps over a 25 kHz channel and higher RF
Transmit output power of up to 10W make it the perfect choice for
industrial wireless Ethernet connectivity. The ViPR(TM) includes a web
based interface for ease-of-use and ease-of-installation, and includes
remote configuration capabilities.
"As our second generation narrowband IP radio, the ViPR(TM) is
designed for applications requiring reliable and true end-to-end IP
communications, particularly over larger distances," said Michael
Burdiek, President of CalAmp's Wireless DataCom Division. "Our
customers will appreciate the ViPR(TM)'s quick and easy deployment,
its configuration flexibility to address specific applications and its
outstanding RF performance. The introduction of the ViPR(TM) further
extends our wireless product offering for the Industrial Monitoring
and Control market in line with our commitment to deliver the most
reliable and widest range of wireless data products for M2M
communications."
