RiT Technologies Ltd. has announced its first order for Beamcaster, its innovative indoor optical wireless technology. The order comes from a leading software and IT company in Shenzhen, China. The initial order to purchase five Beamcaster systems, which will be deployed on-premises at a beta site facility, heralds RiT’s penetration of the Chinese market and will be used to officially launch a new sales and marketing effort focused on the Chinese market.
Beamcaster is an indoor wireless optical solution that makes wireless networking practical for the most demanding corporate environments. A fast-ROI indoor wireless optical solution that makes wireless networking practical for the most demanding corporate environments, it combines Wi-Fi’s ease of use with the strengths of cabling to deliver ultra-flexible, high-performance networking.
Beamcaster can be shared by up to eight smart outlets, each receiving the maximum GB allocated and available at any point in time. It uses secure physical links and reinforces security via hard connections between smart outlets and computers and, because it runs over existing power trays, Beamcaster has a very short installation cycle. Its lightweight optical distributor (ODU) attaches via a single link to the main switch, and the system’s smart outlets are designed for the quick and flexible deployment of multiple users.
The Beamcaster solution also delivers significant long- and short-term savings by slashing the need for new in-wall cabling installation and reducing the number of switches required – all while lowering power consumption. As an intelligent non-patching solution, Beamcaster is a modular and scalable system that allows all moves, adds and changes (MACs) to be performed remotely via a management system, without altering existing infrastructure, therefore keeping maintenance costs down.
“We are extremely excited to introduce Beamcaster into China and penetrate a new market,” commented Mr. Motti Hania, RiT’s President and CEO. “There is a tremendous opportunity in the region for a flexible, ultra-high bandwidth networking alternative that is secure and more cost effective than structured cabling. We believe Beamcaster is an ideal solution for the enterprise environment and we look forward to gaining market acceptance for this new technology.”
