Hello again,

I have an application that will require wireless data from my PLC through a cell phone network (Sprint). I am looking hard at the Airlink Raven with Ethernet. My processor is a tiny Micrologix 1100. This is my second ulogix in 2 weeks (two different projects).

Can anyone share experiences with me? I'm looking for cost, set up time (lead time), quality of service (static IP?) and interopability with a PLC which will generate SMTP alarms and perhaps allow remote control.

I'm lucky to have this in a well populated area, and cell coverage is 100% on many carriers.

Thanks!
