WIP - Wireless Interactive Portal
Products/Services
Wireless Interactive Portal Module:
 
OVERVIEW
 
The Wireless Interactive Portal Module (WIP) is a hardware portal that multitasks and converts wired information to a wireless format without the need of a PC. The WIP takes this converted information and instantly transmits it to where it needs to go in multiple formats, to a Blackberry, Data gathering Server, Cell phone or any Network base PDA in the world. A keyboarded device such as the Blackberry can then easily communicate back via WIP client software on the Blackberry and control various outputs on the WIP.

Operating on any wireless network, the WIP is dynamic and allows the user to select a service best suited for their application

Applications:

  • Remote Metering of Hydro, Gas, Water
  • Monitoring alarm panels as cell back up
  • Monitoring alarm conditions for self monitoring
  • Converting Home phone to wireless Industrial,
  • Residential and Commercial Automation Unlocking and locking doors
  • Instant car alarm notification
  • Many more applications

Base Model

Equipped with 8 supervised inputs and 1 serial interface, the unit can monitor change of state functions and transmit these pre-canned messages to Blackberry's or other PDA devices. This basic form allows for metering, bidirectional communication with black boxes and self monitoring of alarm systems. The serial interface can be formatted into ASCII to get greater detail of monitoring devices or full serial interactive communication to be applied for metering/home automation/vending services. Operating on A.C. or 12vdc the WIP can even be installed in vehicles for self monitoring of car alarms via cell phones. Utility companies can easily monitor and service equipment like furnaces, HVAC systems, hot water tank usage of Hydro, Gas or water via the WIP as a metering device in addition to providing the alarm notification with this unit.

X-10 Interface

Built in protocol allows for appliance and lighting control and other off-the shelf X-10 products like the X-10 thermostat control. This can be marketed as "Do it yourself" with demonstrations at Retailers utilizing the GPRS Network for demonstrations in real time.

6 form C relay outputs

These relays can be hard wired to any configuration allowing for remote control of any switched device. Current applications are arming and disarming alarm systems, opening garage doors via the openers, electric strikes; automatic shutters and a variety of light controls.

RS232 Port/Ethernet

For any IP or serial addressable device, this module can be configured to communicate to many devices. Metering companies can use this port to ping meters and auto tally usage. Since the WIP is multitasking, many meters can be read at the same time. Appliances such as I.P. based fridges can be pinged for inventory and sent to a Blackberry or other wireless PDA for shopping lists. Video can be translated into wireless signals and transmitted to be viewed on the fly

Always Connected Module

Telephone Interface This Interface monitors phone lines. If phone lines go down the WIP will operate as a cell back up for your alarm system or resident phones. You will NEVER be without a phone line in your home for data or voice with the Always Connected Modules. All phones in the home will switch to wireless just like a cellular phone. Excellent support for VIOP phone service to guarantee 100% telephone uptime.

PLC Mode

Used in industry, this mode translates industrial PLC language from any PLC devices and transmits to a wireless PDA. The manager can then reset the assembly line or PLC Controller on the fly. All pertinent information will be transmitted as outputted from the PLC Controller. Serial connection will provide return communication from the wireless device.

Network Security Module

In the event of a Fire Alarm or Poisonous Gas alarm persons must evacuate the buildings (U.S. Government Buildings). Doors can be unlocked by the Electronic Monitoring systems, Fire Alarms etc for quick egress. Computers are seldom locked as staff evacuates leaving the PC opens for espionage. This module will log off all PC's instantly upon an evacuation occurrence

Iron Gate/Privacy Module

The Iron Gate/Privacy module physically closes all ports into a building. Opening ports can only be done by secondary communication authorization that range from caller ID of a registered phone, Blackberry trigger or rolling code. For a residential Privacy model the gate can be opened or closed via the Arming/Disarming of the security system.

ZigbeeTemperature Monitor

Using ZigBee communication protocol the Interactive temperate monitor provides the temperature of your home. In conjunction with the Zigbee wireless thermostat the TM can be set to keep your home at a programmed temperature. Connecting the temperature monitor with an American pipe hanger clip, allows for accurate hot water temperature data.

ZigBeeUniversal Wireless Thermostat

The ZigBee wireless Thermostat. This universal thermostat integrates with any existing thermostat. In conjunction with the WIP this wireless thermostat receives its commands via the WIP and maintains the home at the exact programmed temperature.

Zigbee Metering Module

The stand alone WIP metering module measures various analog and digital meters and delivers the information to the preset location. Operating completely wireless on the GPRS/GSM networks, data and service cut off can be remotely accomplished.

Live Video Point to Point

Without the need of servers various I.P. cameras can be directly displayed on a Blackberry device. Live video can provide video verification when an alarm signal is received or a Virtual patrol if required. Simply click the ICON on your Blackberry and the live video is displayed on your Blackberry screen.
