I will give Webinar 31-May-2007

31-May-2007 (Thursday) I'll be giving a webinar related to outdoor use of IP-to-serial devices. While not directly related to my blog theme of "Industrial Protocols over IP", remote devices frequently are in bad locations, where extended temperature ranges, conformal coating, and Class 1 Div 2 certs are desired.

This live webinar will illustrate the value of using TCP/IP & UDP/IP based communication over wired and wireless networks to monitor and manage local and remote devices. Topics include:

• Overview of requirements for robust, remote, outdoor communication devices
• Discussion of extended temperature, conformal coating, hazardous certs
• Comparing features of IT-grade network devices to Digi's Haz product line
• Extending IP networks to remote serial and Ethernet devices
• Moving serial communications through TCP/IP and UDP/IP
• Migrating from analog Telco/POTS lines to IP-based broadband
• Real-world usage examples
• Implementation benefits
  - Real-time access to remote sites and process data without site visits
  - Reduce repair/replacement costs due to less-than ideal environments
  - Options to reduce installation costs with wireless
