Wireless Solution Sweden AB has signed an agreement to now offer Wireless RDM for sales in the United States, making them the first company outside of the US to do so. W-DMXâ„¢ G4 is covered by U.S. Patent #7,432,803, which covers Wireless Solution and its distributors as well as W-DMX OEM Clients.
The license applies to W-DMX G4 BlackBox F-1, BlackBox F-2, WhiteBox F-1, WhiteBox F-2, Micro F-1 and ProBox F-2500. All units are standard with RDM. The license also covers the Micro OEM PCB and PRO OEM PCB for W-DMX OEM manufacturers. OEM partners are “very happy” with the new license agreement.
Wireless Solution is the only company to offer dual band 2.4 and 5.8GHz with RDM and adaptive frequency hopping in both OEM single PCB or Standard Transceivers with FLEX function to change a unit to be both transmitter and receiver. All F-Models are both transmitters and receivers and offer a full flex with optional “anything in, anything out” (for example DMX in and Art-Net out or s/ACN in and DMX out.)
W-DMX G4 is covered by one or more claims of U.S. Patent #7,432,803 from City Theatrical and/or by other patent applications and corresponding foreign patent applications pending.
