Lantronix announced that Quadlogic has selected Lantronix’ UDS1100 Ethernet device server to enable serial-to-Ethernet conversion in its metering systems. As a result, Quadlogic can now offer remote access, monitoring and control of its energy metering technology over Ethernet, which is said to improve communication and reduce support costs for its customers.
TheUDS1100 is said to enable Quadlogic to meet the growing demand for serial-to-Ethernet conversion, which allows the company to network its metering devices in minutes, and provide its customers with instant control and access to equipment. The enterprise-grade device is said to provide Quadlogic’s customers with a solution that facilitates more reliable communication with equipment, faster connection and data transfer speeds and reduced customer support calls.
“As our customers’ preferences shifted from plain old telephone service, the ability to offer network-enabled metering technology was essential to remain competitive,” said Thomas George, Director, Technical Services at Quadlogic. ”We reviewed several competing Ethernet device servers extensively before selecting Lantronix’ UDS1100 for our conversion needs.”
The UDS1100 uses serial tunneling to encapsulate serial data into packets and transport it over Ethernet. The device’s built-in web server enables Quadlogic to access and configure the UDS1100 from a standard web browser using Lantronix’ development tools to customize the product for unique applications.
