One company on the front lines of military unmanned systems and industrial wireless applications is FreeWave Technologies. Quite literally—millions of FreeWave’s radios have seen action in harsh and dangerous environments throughout the world. One notable product line offered by the company is the ZumLink 900 Series. This series of 900-MHz radios is intended for a wide range of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications, such as agriculture, oil and gas, utilities, and many more.
FreeWave recently introduced the ZumLink Z9-PC radio module, which is the newest addition to the ZumLink 900 Series. The company actually calls the ZumLink Z9-PC its “most advanced embeddable radio to date.” In addition, FreeWave announced its ZumIQ app server software, which enables developers to program ZumLink 900 Series radios with their own applications. This capability allows for intelligent control and automation of remote sensors and devices.
