For radio frequency data collection equipment, Paragon Data Systems, Inc. is the leading Value Added Reseller (VAR). Paragon selects from the leaders in the wireless industry and makes its recommendations based upon reliability and speed of the wireless products required for your application. Paragon works with equipment that is rugged and well suited for heavy industrial, factory, commercial, and warehouse environments. We recommend radios that use spread spectrum technology because it defeats interference and requires no FCC licensing.

Paragon Data Systems, Inc. differentiates itself from other vendors in the portable data collection industry with a focus on providing sophisticated wireless networks, not simply networks that only support radio frequency portable terminals. Paragon designs wireless network architecture that supports a wide range of computing devices. Paragon works most often with Cisco radios because it is the “choice” of clients needing a high-speed, reliable radio frequency network. Cisco RF networks support traditional radio frequency, data collection terminals and other computing devices, including personal computers, lap top computers, time clocks, and a variety of line and label printers.

The cornerstone to Paragon’s wireless networks is access point technology. Access point technology was designed for the mobile user and provides unmatched flexibility and capability in wireless LAN performance. A Cisco access point placed anywhere along a LAN allows radio frequency devices in its area of coverage transparent access to the corporate network. The system uses native TCP/IP connectivity between the radio frequency device and the host computer on an Ethernet or token ring LAN. Several access points can be combined to form an extended area of coverage throughout the required coverage area. The access points are equipped with 2.4Ghz IEEE 802.11b-compliant radios, ensuring open connectivity to other compliant equipment.

Using a wireless network designed by Paragon provides you many additional capabilities over standard radio frequency networks.
