Shoal is the identity given to Casient's wireless technology. Designed from concept to meet the exacting requirements for wire free building controls Shoal has combined the very latest RF transmission techniques and system topology to create the most robust wireless platform available. Buildings by their very nature are an onerous envorinment for RF propagation. The physical structure, RSJs, metal partitioning, ducting, iron pipe work, copper water and air conditioning pipes can all play havoc with wireless communications. Electrically the environment is just as hostile. Electronic control gear, motors, switch mode power supplies and other RF equipment all emit electromagnetic radiation, which conspire to make conditions noisy. Despite these difficulties, removing the need for control wiring in building controls is seen as a crucial stage in minimising installation times, reducing the need for skilled on site labour and ensuring the service matches the changing needs of the building and occupants during its lifetime. The applications are varied. Wherever low cost, robust wire free systems are required, Shoal is the solution. Shoal addresses the key requirements for wire free intelligent control communications:-
Physically small with very low power requiremnts, Shoal is easily embedded into your future products. To see how we have achieved this remarkable evolution in RF platforms please go to the technology section. |
