  • Page 5: Introduction

    Introduction Overview The AXR-WAVES Wireless AXlink Virtual Emulator Server (Figure 1) is a 2-way Radio Frequency (RF) device employing spread spectrum communications. A single AXR-WAVES can communicate with up to 16 wireless TiltScreen touch panels equipped with WAV-PK or WAV-PKM Wireless Power Packs. The WAV-PK and WAV-PKM are designed to enable 2-way wireless mobility of full-sized and mini- touch panels, thus eliminating the need for permanent installation of a touch panel.

  • Page 6: Features

    Additionally, the WAV-LNK WaveLink transceiver (Figure 2) may be used in con- junction with one or more WAV-PM modules when a UniMount or rack mounted touch panel is used in a remote, wireless application. The WAV-LNK is ideal for Un- iMount touch panels mounted in podiums or lecterns where cabling is of concern.
