Company Overview: OMNEX Control Systems Inc.

There are many advantages to choosing radio over alternative options, not the least of which is cost. Our spread spectrum radios can be installed at a fraction of the price of cable, conduit or pendant, in a fraction of the time. Moreover, radio systems can provide the added element of portability to the job. If either the transmitter or receiver locations need to be mobile or there is a foreseeable need for this in the future, our radio can effortlessly be moved from one spot to another, leaving nothing lying about that can be crushed, tangled or otherwise damaged, as often happens to cables in an industrial environment.

In addition, radio is extremely reliable. OMNEX’s unique technology “hops” 50 different frequencies every second within the license-free 902-928 MHz ISM band. Frequency hopping eliminates interference problems associated with fixed frequency or direct sequence radios. This means that multiple radio units can be used in the same area with no frequency coordination or licensing required.

All things considered, OMNEX spread spectrum Cordless WiresTM are reliable, portable, cost-effective, easy-to-use alternatives to cables, conduits and pendants.
