Teletrol Brings Wireless Applications to HVAC Industry

Zeus Wireless Transceivers Eliminate Need for Wired Controls

Manchester, NH October 16, 2000 - Teletrol Systems, Inc., an innovative manufacturer of building automation systems and controllers, announced it is utilizing technology from Zeus Wireless, Inc., an emerging supplier of wireless solutions, to provide HVAC automation systems with wireless connectivity options. The enhanced systems package will include Zeus' wireless technology to support Teletrol's Integrator™ family of controllers.

Rick Desmarais, Vice President of Engineering at Teletrol said: "The integration of wireless technology takes Teletrol to the next level of controls evolution. This application is easier to install, upgrade and maintain compared to wire lines, and decreases the immediate expense as well as the long term cost to customers. As wireless applications become more frequent in specialized environments, we plan to integrate radio connectivity into other standard Teletrol industry applications."

Until now, facility control systems have largely been dictated by building design, and installation frequently requires extensive and costly wiring. Teletrol's system integrators recognized that Zeus' #ZLRT2100 wireless transceiver mimics the functionality of a standard RS-485 wireline connection, eliminating the need for wiring and creating a more cost effective and versatile alternative for certain HVAC control applications.

"The increasing use of wireless technologies within the HVAC industry points towards a trend which will have tremendous implications for the future," said Robin Shaffer, Global Business Development Manager of Energy & Controls for Zeus Wireless. "By eliminating the need for wireline connections, facility automation solutions can be designed more flexibly and installed more cost effectively."

Teletrol announced the use of Zeus Wireless transceivers to its network of systems integrators in August, 2000, and has successful applications with clients nationwide.
