Wireless Capability Provides More Flexibility for Temperature Monitoring System Deployment
Tempsys, a leading provider of wireless temperature monitoring and real-time location systems, recently announced that its CheckPoint Temperature Monitoring System now features WiFi-capable sensors supporting 802.11 b/g and WEP, WPA and WPA2 encryption.
Hospitals, laboratories, and pharmaceutical companies will now have additional options for setting up the CheckPoint Wireless network, including: 1. The new sensors now have WiFi radios to communicate directly to the facility’s WiFi network. 2. Using a distributed antenna system, such as MobileAccess, or 3. Using a separate 900 MHz wireless repeater/Etherbase network to connect through a hard-wired LAN 4. Using a hybrid system utilizing both the wireless WiFi and hard-wired LAN, useful to connect remote or satellite locations which may not have a WiFi network.
“This new sensor capability allows companies to leverage the investment in their current IT infrastructure, making it easier and more cost effective to deploy a wireless temperature monitoring system,” said Bob Yuan, CEO of Tempsys, “This option is a faster and less expensive deployment choice since it makes use of already deployed WiFi access points and does not require new cabling, power outlets, nor CheckPoint infrastructure such as repeaters and receivers.”
CheckPoint temperature sensors are manufactured by Tempsys and every CheckPoint probe is provided with a NIST traceable certificate of calibration. Tempsys is an A2LA accredited calibration laboratory. Some applications for the sensors include:
The CheckPoint Temperature Monitoring System continuously monitors temperature-sensitive equipment throughout the hospital, from the pharmacy to the blood bank, med and food refrigerators at nurse stations to research laboratories.
