Developing a Low-cost Sensor-Based Wireless Product Just Got Easier as SSI Wireless Becomes a Digi Gold-Level Drop-in Networking Partner

The Hardware/Software Integration Expertise of SSI Wireless Paired with Digi’s Drop-in Networking products allow Product Manufacturers to Roll Out Cost-Cutting Sensor-Based Wireless Services and Solutions

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 15, 2007 -- SSI Wireless, an experienced integrator of custom wireless sensing products, has partnered with Digi International, the leader in device networking for businesses, to bring together the technology and resources required by companies implementing custom wireless sensor solutions.

Michele Mordacq, President of SSI Wireless, comments, "It's never been easier to roll out a wireless solution.  Digi has gone to great effort to match companies looking to adopt a wireless initiative with the hardware and design resources to help them build products.  This is extremely valuable to clients requiring quick turn around on a timely, reliable, and low-cost wireless sensor solution."

Typical applications for remote sensing solutions include tank monitoring, building automation, energy management, metering AMR/AMI, lighting control, home automation, agricultural automation (such as irrigation), and vehicle/fleet management. Wireless sensor solutions enable companies to more efficiently guarantee product quality, monitor for safety, track assets, conserve energy, and manage inventory.

"Many Drop-in Networking customers seek assistance in designing integrated wireless products, making SSI an important member of the expanding partner ecosystem supporting our Drop-in Networking solutions" says Larry Kraft, Digi Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing.  "A customer combining Digi's Drop-in Networking products with the design expertise of SSI Wireless will be assured of getting to market quickly with a highly reliable and elegant wireless solution."

SSI Wireless is one of Digi’s first Gold-level Drop-in Networking Partners. Gold partners have a custom product in production utilizing Digi’s XBee RF module, a ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 compliant solution that satisfies the unique needs of low-cost, low-power wireless sensor networks.

Digi's Drop-in Networking products provide the ability to network sensor-based devices or groups of devices where no pre-deployed networking infrastructure exists or where access to an existing network is prohibited.
