Compared to wired networks, wireless networks are much more convenient and cost effective to install and present greater flexibility for most applications. However, in some environments range limitations will arise due to structural obstructions or long distances. In these cases EnviroNet™ networking methods are employed to maintain continuity of communication and operation between network nodes. In the simplest case, network repeaters are employed to maintain network viability,

EnviroNet™ wireless modules employ energy efficient hardware designs and firmware algorithms that yield products that are truly self-powered and that make EnviroNet™ wireless modules essentially maintainence free.

The hardware and firmware design of EnviroNet™ wireless modules offers the user the greatest level of flexibilty and are easily implemented into most systems by a technician. The analog and digital I/O of EnviroNet™ modules are buffered and readily interface most all commerically available sensors and actuator drivers. Moreover, if the user has an application specific requirement, custom firmware and harware can be developed.

By employing a modular design model, EnviroNet™ wireless modules offer the user a cost effective and flexible solution to his monitor and control requirements that can be easily altered in network size and scope as his application requirements change. Moreover, EnviroNet™ wireless modules are compatible with most all commercially available sensors and actuator drivers.
