We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Transceiver",
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 Thermocouples wireless transmit their readings from
Omega Engineering, which we summarised at the time by saying "When activated the Omega connector will transmit readings at intervals programmed by the user during the initial setup".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Interfaces bring Bluetooth to industrial comms from
Control Microsystems: "The 5913 serial to Bluetooth adapter connects directly to a ScadaPack controller's RJ45 serial port using an included 24in cable".
In January 2007, we covered the news from B and B Electronics Manufacturing Company
concerning its Zlinx Modbus industrial grade radio modems
- take a look at Industrial grade radio modems cut out cables
which says: "Zlinx Modbus industrial grade radio modems can do the job faster, more easily and less expensively than stringing cable".
Take a look also at the news release from Ethernet Direct, Industrial Ethernet switches have fibre ports,
as well as Gigabit switches increase industrial bandwidth from Ethernet Direct,
and Digital Radio Has Arrived from Icom (UK).
