HBL100 Wireless Network Controller

The HBL100 Wireless Network Controller is the advanced base station in the LogiSphere system. Wireless Network Controllers can be placed anywhere where the presence and status of Intelligent Tags needs to be detected and recorded. The detection range of the HBL100 can be configured from less than 1 metre to up to 300 metres.

The HBL100 offers in-range and out-of-range detection and status monitoring of Intelligent Tags in its pre-defined detection area. Via dynamic networking and enhanced routing functionalities, the HBL100 offers superiour wireless communication network capabilities. Furthermore, intermediate logging capabilities, as well as telemetry threshold and delta mechaninisms are added. Depending on the requirements of the specific application, the information collected by the Wireless Network Controller is transferred to a computer infrastructure that processes the data. A programmable input/output is provided that can be used for additional measurements, or switching external devices.

About the LogiSphere System

Effective insight in, and well-coordinated control of logistical processes are crucial in today's fiercely competitive market place. LogiSphere delivers exactly this real-time asset visibility and management to retail, transportation and manufacturing. This is achieved by providing a wireless tracing and telemetry solution that excels in modularity, scalability, completeness, and ease of installation and operation. In this way, it becomes possible to keep track of the location and condition of valuable assets including cargo, inventory, trucks, trailers, trollies, pallets, and containers.

Uniquely, the application of the LogiSphere solution is not limited to fixed sites, but it covers the complete supply chain, including real-time in-transport monitoring. This broad functionality is made accessible via a very cost-effective platform, making it ideally suited for a wide range of logistical applications. The building blocks of every LogiSphere system are Intelligent Tags, Sensor Terminals, Wireless Network Controllers, and associated LogiWare software modules running on off-the-shelf windows-based PC's and handhelds.
