‘Transceivers’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Sixnet unveils industrial-managed Ethernet switch from Sixnet, which we summarised at the time by saying "Sixnet has introduced the EL228 industrial-managed Ethernet switch platform.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Industrial Gigabit Ethernet switch has SFP from Aaxeon Technologies: "Aaxeon has announced the release of its LNX-501AG-SFP Lanolinx Industrial Gigabit Ethernet switch with SFP. ".

In October 2008, we covered the news from Icom (UK) - take a look at Icom launches IDAS digital PMR radios which says: "Icom UK has released a Digital Private Mobile Radio (DPMR) system called IDAS (Icom Digital Advanced System). ".

Take a look also at the news release from Keithley Instruments, Keithley unveils portable battery/charger tester , as well as Sixnet introduces EK Ethernet managed switches from Sixnet, and CD covers entire communication range from Sixnet.
