3e Technologies International, Inc., (3eTI) and OMNEX Control Systems ULC, announce that they have entered into a joint development partnership to create secure wireless solutions for the industrial market sector.  These solutions combine the industry-recognized strength of OMNEX’s Trusted Wireless ™ ISM band radios and industrial control systems with 3eTI’s secure 802.11 wireless technology.  Both companies are experienced in the development of solutions for harsh and industrial environments.  OMNEX, with strong global channels like Phoenix Contact, is well positioned to deliver these solutions to the market.

The industrial community is clamoring for wireless solutions but implementations have been slow due to security concerns.  “3eTI’s secure wireless technology has been proven in military environments and it is ideally suited to address the concerns of industrial users,” said Randy Klassen, Director of Sales & Marketing, OMNEX Controls.  He added, “With support for 802.11i security and 802.11a/b/g radios we expect our upcoming products to be well received.”

3eTI and OMNEX have long track records in the deployment of wireless systems in extreme environments.  Systems from 3eTI are used on Navy vessels, police vehicles, and less-than-friendly desert bases.  OMNEX wireless systems are deployed in factories, industrial plants and municipalities and control material handling and utility vehicles across industries. 

According to John Jacobs, Vice President of Product Management and Sales, 3eTI, “Security, reliability, and deployment flexibility are central concerns of most wireless users.  The value created by the combined experience and technologies of the OMNEX and 3eTI team will set the standard for wireless solutions in the industrial market.”
