SATEL launches SATELLAR Digital System. The world’s first radio modem with internet access and a Linux application platform
SATEL, a leading manufacturer of radio modems for long range wireless data, today announced SATELLAR Digital System, a smart radio modem combining TCP/IP-functionalities, a Linux platform for customer specific applications, and a versatile modular structure. Whereas radio modems have conventionally been used to simply convey data – essentially replacing a cable in inconvenient locations – SATELLAR can do a lot more. The central unit, one of SATELLAR’s modular units, is essentially a computer with sufficient processing power and memory to run sophisticated software applications in addition to the operating system, IP-router, and web configuration server. Fewer devices are needed on site, which means that costs and complexity may be lowered without compromising functionality.

RJ45/USB and RJ11 Ethernet connectors for ATEX explosive environments
Amphenol, recognized leader for its reinforced Ethernet solutions for severe environments, announces the introduction of the first ATEX Ethernet connectors for applications in zone 2 and Class I Division 2 explosive environments. This new range has been designed as a response to the current trend in the ATEX market towards limiting the equipment in zone 1 (which is very expensive) and installing it in zone 2, where constraints are much less demanding, leading to very substantial reduction of overall plant costs.

Replacement of compressed air production units on TGV PSE trains
As part of its TGV PSE train upgrade programme, SNCF has selected FAIVELEY TRANSPORT to supply new-generation “two-stage” compressed air production and treatment units. Much more than just an upgrade programme, SNCF’s objective is to extend the life of its TGV PSE trains. To improve passenger comfort (seat air supply, noise reduction, door operation), increase reliability and reduce operating costs, the programme provides for an increase in the pneumatic power available on the train. This makes the project highly representative of the service provided by FAIVELEY TRANSPORT: a systems and expert approach, introduction of new technologies and installation of electronic monitoring to facilitate maintenance operations. Benefiting from FAIVELEY TRANSPORT technologies, railway operators can optimize their costs, the functions provided on their trains and systems availability.
