Europa, one of the UK’s leading distributors of electrical components, has launched its new wireless cable replacement solution.Parrot by Europa is said to use cutting-edge innovation to eliminate the need for expensive cabling and containment in industrial environments.
The Parrot system comprises pre-configured, ready to operate, transmitters and receivers, designed for effortless installation on a standard DIN rail.
Harnessing long-range wireless technology, Chirped Spread Spectrum (CSS) and Advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP), Parrot delivers robust, long-range telemetry which can achieve operating distances of over 8km line of sight in outdoor industrial settings with the correct configuration.
The system has been rigorously tested in some of the most demanding environments, providing a reliable and secure method of transmitting signals where traditional cabling is impractical or cost-prohibitive.
This launch marks the start of a big year for Europa, which plans to introduce 15 new products in 2025 spanning both digital and physical electrical components.
Benefits of the Parrot system include:
- Saving money and time on installation
- Easy retrofitting
- No invasive works due to no cables
- Quick and simple installation
- No need to run cables or dig trenches
The system can be used for anything from remote gate controls, spotlights and switch gear, to measuring wind speed, temperature and pressure.
Rob Aitken, technical director at Europa, said: “The Parrot system leverages decades of accumulated knowledge and specialised expertise in industrial monitoring, control, and wireless communication. This suite of innovative wireless cable replacement devices is designed to streamline deployments by removing the need for expensive cabling or adding telemetry in places where it wasn’t previously possible.
“Parrot aligns perfectly with our mission to simplify and modernise industrial control solutions.”
