FREEWAVE TECHNOLOGIES
FREEWAVE TECHNOLOGIES – A LEADER IN WIRELESS LONG-RANGE INDUSTRIAL IOT CONNECTIVITY
Freewave Technologies began in 1993 with a goal to manufacture the best spread spectrum radios in the industry for reliable, long range communications. Today, their radios are used in many industrial markets, including oil & gas, as well as government, defence, utilities, and others for industrial IoT communications.
Freewave’s product offerings have grown over the years, to meet the increased demand for both licensed and license-free radios, but the focus on providing secure, highly reliable, long range wireless communications continues to be their strength. Many of their devices are also explosion proof, hazardous location (C1D1, C1D2) certified.
Freewave has a number of different product families as listed below. Additional information on the specific models is available by clicking on any of the links below. Given the variety of options available, we would be happy to help you find the right model for your application. Give us a call and one of our technical sales specialists will answer your questions, and help you build the right wireless communications solution for your requirements.
