Jargon buster cuts through the ATEX jungle
ABB has published an "ATEX jargon buster" that helps motor users cut through the jungle of terms and definitions that make up the new ATEX Directives.
The new station, which connects directly to Dusseldorf Hauptbahnof, allows travellers to easily reach all of the halls under cover.
Admission tickets and exhibitor passes for K 2004 include free use of all public transport to and from the fair within the fare zone of the Rhine-Ruhr and Rhine-Sieg Regional Transport Networks.
This represents a substantial enlargement of the catchment area to include several of Dusseldorf's neighbouring cities in the ride-for-free zone.
The wireless LAN will enable exhibitors and visitors to access the latest information off the Internet, answer e-mails or exchange data with their company networks.
T-Com, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, has created well over 100 access points for wireless Internet connection and will operate the wireless network, which extends over an area of almost 285,000m2.
The network has the capacity for 2000 computers to be online simultaneously and data transfer rate is said to be up to 170 times faster than that of a conventional ISDN connection.
