The Wireless Reefing (WiRe) Link* is a radio communications device that creates a network between two or more host devices by transmitting and receiving data packets via radio frequency signals. The WiRe Link transmitter generates a personal area network with which receiver devices automatically associate as a network node. The individually addressed radio nodes securely communicate commands and supporting data across the network with the base transmitter. Paired with Electronic Initiation Devices, the WiRe Link radios enable parachute disconnect and disreefing events to be wirelessly commanded from a payload-mounted transmitter. Handheld transmitters allow to arm or safe test articles remotely while maintaining personnel safe-zones.

Applications

Programmable parachute disreefing
Drogue or main parachute sequencing
Ground disconnect signal
Multiple event staging
Timing synchronization
Remote switch
