No Market Slowdown for Synapse's SNAP Wireless Mesh Network Technology
Synapse(R), the technical leader of easy-to-use, intelligent, wireless control and monitoring mesh networks, today announced a new release of its proven, wireless mesh network technology -- Synapse SNAP(R) 2.1 -- for companies designing embedded products that need fast and reliable machine communication.
In spite of the general market downturn, Synapse's customer base has risen sharply (30 percent increase in Q3), driving revenue growth by a factor of 5x over last year. Citing increased focus on productivity gains and energy savings, customers claim that now is the time to press forward with new product designs based on SNAP, Synapse's Wireless Mesh Network Protocol. The Synapse advantage of easy application development and portability means clients can rapidly and affordably complete their product designs with SNAP and avoid the cost, risk and length of time for protocol development.
"Those of us who invest in the future now, especially in uncertain financial times, are the ones who will come out strong when the economy recovers," said Ovie Whitson, chief technologist of Metrum Technologies, a leading developer of cellular based AMI and endpoint automation technologies. "We believe in the strength of the marketplace, and with Synapse's advanced, wireless mesh network technology, we plan to be ready."
Applications include the energy infrastructure, homeland security systems, commercial irrigation systems, wastewater management, seismic monitoring, HVAC, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), medical drug carts, and many more. "The adoption of SNAP has become a key element of many companies' strategic product development, and the release of SNAP 2.1 should accelerate that trend," said Wade Patterson, CEO of Synapse.
The newly released SNAP 2.1 includes enhanced security support, better performance and expanded connectivity. SNAP 2.1 also supports the standard, protocol encryption called AES-128 for very high-level security applications. Distributed by Digi-Key and Sager Electronics, SNAP 2.1 continues to lead in low-cost, low-power, wireless mesh networks designed for ease and speed in OEM product development.
Availability and Pricing
Synapse SNAP 2.1 is available on Synapse's off-the-shelf RF Engines(TM) modules and also available for porting. For pricing, call 1-877-982-7888.
