We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Ethernet Connectivity",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release PLCs receive offshore certifiation from
Idec Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "MicroSmart Pentra range can handle complex tasks, with 32bit data processing and the ability to handle floating point maths to seven decimal places".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Cable accessories ease installation from
Belden CDT Electronics: "Belden's DataTuff products are designed for mission critical applications, with all components built to withstand the harsh environmental conditions of the plant floor".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Sixnet
- take a look at Modem acquisition expands Sixnet's reach
which says: "Sixnet's acquisition of BlueTree Wireless Data allows more customers to be reached in more places, with a stronger, wider array of products and services".
Take a look also at the news release from Sixnet, Company makes wireless acquisition,
as well as Power over Ethernet switch reaches remote areas from MAC Solutions (UK),
and Data logger can be expanded tenfold from MicroDAQ.
