Technology: The Right Wireless Technology for Every Application
Technologies for industrial wireless networks with the highest requirements for latency, reliability, bandwidth, or range.
Overview
R3 Solutions follows the philosophy of “best-fit radio technology”—we select the radio technology based on the specific requirements of your application, not the other way around. Whether it’s low-latency data transmission, AI-powered data monitoring, or remote configurability and security: the common thread among our technologies is their high reliability and adaptability—in line with the high standards of industrial applications.
What sets R3 Solutions’ technologies apart is that we make customizations at the MAC layer and firmware levels to achieve the best possible performance. This is made possible by our long-standing collaboration with chip manufacturers such as Texas Instruments, Nordic Semiconductor, and NXP Semiconductors. Specifically, we have source code access to the Texas Instruments WiLink 8 and firmware access to the Nordic nRF9151. We don’t just develop integrations; we design networks at the chip level.
This technical depth enables us to develop solutions that are precisely tailored to your industrial requirements. These range from safety-critical applications to highly dynamic intralogistics scenarios.
