Apprion Announces First Integrated Wireless Audio Solution for
Required Plant Safety and Security Applications
MOFFETT FIELD, CA, Oct 14, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
Apprion, the leader in providing open, integrated industrial
wireless systems for manufacturers, today announced the release of
the Apprion ION Wireless Audio application. The Apprion ION Wireless
Audio is an integrated solution that delivers quick, easy and
cost-effective compliance with employee safety requirements and site
security mandates. The ION Wireless Audio application includes an
Audio IONizer and industrial-grade amplified speakers designed to
produce crisp, clear tones, digital voice messages and live public
address in harsh industrial environments with high ambient noise
levels.
In addition to regulatory-driven applications, the ION Wireless Audio
application enables several wireless solutions that are core to plant
operations and productivity such as voice communications, start and
dismissal, public address and process control signaling.
"Most industrial facilities have had the same communications
infrastructure for more than twenty years. At best these are
technically obsolete, in need of replacement, and are not capable of
supporting current and future communications needs. At worst, they
could fail when they are needed most," said Mike Bradley, Apprion's
CEO and President. "With Apprion's ION Wireless Audio application,
industrial users can now cost-effectively deploy a state-of-the-art
communications infrastructure that addresses current safety and
security compliance requirements while improving overall
communications and productivity."
Apprion's ION Wireless Audio application consists of 4 key
components:
-- Apprion Audio IONizer -- Industrial wireless network appliance
enables connection of all wireless devices in the network to the ION
system.
-- ION Audio Manager -- Software for system configuration and
management.
-- ION Audio I-Kit -- Provides power and SIP-enabled VoIP interface.
-- ION Speakers -- Plant-wide warning and voice communication speakers.
The ION Wireless Audio is designed to support a wide range of
communications applications including support for local voice
communications across an industrial campus, broadcasting messages to
specific teams or individuals, and general broadcast communications
of critical safety and security information.
Engineered to address the harsh demands of industrial environments,
the ION Wireless Audio components are available rated for ruggedized
NEMA 4X environments or for more hazardous areas Class One/Division
Two (ATEX Zone Two) certified components are also available.
