Wireless Solution is the first company to introduce dual band technology for wireless lighting control in 2011. Now, the company takes this one step further and introduces triple band technology. As regulations change over time and now to cover the EU Region with higher output compared to the permitted 5.8GHz bandwidth, Wireless Solution now introduces 5.2GHz in all W-DMX BlackBox and ProBox units as standard (Patent pending USA and EU).
With the 5.2GHz frequency, the maximum allowed output power is 200mW, which will provide a distance of approximately 100mW output power on the 2.4GHz. This equals up to 500 meters distance in line of sight.
For the user of wireless lighting controls, this offers a huge advantage for
With today's growing trend of integrating LED walls in stage lighting design, a new generation of lamps with more powerful beams is now required to cut through the sea of homogenous light they provide - and add additional accents to the show.
