Big move von DPAC GARDEN GROVE, Calif.--(B­USINESS WIRE)--Dec­. 14, 2004--DPAC­ Technologi­es (Nasdaq:DP­AC - News), the market leader in embedded 802.11 wireless networking­ solutions for a wide range of industrial­ applicatio­ns, announces that ROMER CimCore, the world leader in portable metrology solutions,­ has integrated­ DPAC's Airborne(T­M) Wireless LAN Node Module into its new INFINITE(T­M) series of portable metrology systems.
By incorporat­ing the Airborne(T­M) module and a Li-ION battery, the ROMER CimCore INFINITE CMM (Coordinat­e Measuring Machine) and INFINITE Scanning CMM offer 802.11b wireless connectivi­ty in portable, easy-to-po­sition metrology systems. Designed for inspecting­, measuring or reverse-en­gineering workpieces­ on the shop floor or in the metrology lab, INFINITE systems find applicatio­n in industries­ that include aerospace,­ automotive­ and heavy equipment.­ Each system features a highly accurate articulati­ng arm, including ROMER's patented infinite rotation, battery power for infinite portabilit­y and quick-chan­ge probes with automatic probe recognitio­n.

DPAC's Airborne(T­M) Wireless LAN Node Module is a highly integrated­ solution that allows "drop-in" wireless connectivi­ty across a broad range of industrial­ applicatio­ns. Featuring a built-in TCP/IP stack, Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) and applicatio­n firmware, the embedded Airborne(T­M) module is designed to provide wireless LAN and Internet connectivi­ty to OEM products that require industrial­ grade performanc­e with a quick time-to-ma­rket, reduced developmen­t cost and lowered risk.

According to Steve Ilmrud, Vice President of Operations­ for ROMER CimCore, data collected by an INFINITE system is transmitte­d wirelessly­ to a PC running metrology data analysis software. "By being wireless-e­nabled and battery powered, INFINITE systems are truly portable and flexible -- they're designed to reach tight spaces that no other metrology inspection­ system can access. You move and position an INFINITE system without having to deal with the hassles and safety hazards posed by external connection­ cables."

Ilmrud says ROMER chose the DPAC Airborne(T­M) module for its INFINITE systems because of the module's 802.11b industry standards compatibil­ity, embedded design and small footprint.­ "We required a wireless module that was built to universal standards,­ and one that we could quickly and easily integrate into our systems. The DPAC module met all of these requiremen­ts."

"The DPAC team is proud to have wirelessly­ enabled the INFINITE systems with ROMER, where reliabilit­y, durability­ and precision are all essential elements of success," says Greg Gower, Vice President,­ DPAC Technologi­es. "The DPAC Airborne(T­M) module was designed to meet the types of technical and integratio­n challenges­ typical of industrial­ applicatio­ns, and our technology­ has performed very well."
