MOFFETT FIELD, CA--(Marketwire - December 18, 2007) - Apprion, the pioneer of industrial
wireless application networks, today announced R3 of the Apprion ION
System. ION R3 provides comprehensive integration and cohesive management
of facilities' wireless infrastructures, including multiple
industry-leading wireless devices, wireless data from all devices on the
network and all wireless applications. The Apprion ION R3 System equips
industrial facilities with a secure, reliable, low-cost way to improve
management of users, devices and systems across a large network and plant
area, while enhancing plant communications, increasing productivity and
satisfying regulatory mandates.
The new ION R3 System supports industry-leading wireless devices, including
Siemens Scalance Access Points, Cisco Aironet 1500 Series Access Points,
Emerson 1420 Wireless Gateways and Apprion's IONizers. ION integrates data
