Why should I choose Tempurity over competing systems that are based on wireless sensors?
Tempurity can be connected to the network either wired or wirelessly. Wireless connections to Tempurity are accomplished via standard, low cost, wireless bridges, available from network companies like Cisco/Linksys. Where both wired and wireless options are available, Networked Robotics recommends the use of wired networks, which we believe are more reliable and secure than their wireless counterparts. Competing wireless data acquisition systems are architected in diverse ways- which is just the problem. Some may not implement security protocols that prevent eavesdropping. Some are sensitive to interference, or can not reach difficult locations such as metal-lined walk-in freezers. With Tempurity each freezer becomes a node on your standard network and whether implemented in a wired or wireless environment is subject to standard network security and management procedures. Some wireless-based systems are architected based on battery-driven power sources. These pose risks in that you cou
