Quadlogic selects Lantronix's UDS1100 Ethernet device server

Lantronix has announced that Quadlogic has selected it's UDS1100 Ethernet device server to enable serial-to-Ethernet conversion in its metering systems, to offer remote access, monitoring and control of its energy metering technology over Ethernet, dramatically improving communication and reducing support costs for its customers.

"As our customers' preferences shifted from plain old telephone service, the ability to offer network-enabled metering technology was essential to remain competitive," said Thomas George, Director, Technical Services at Quadlogic. "We reviewed several competing Ethernet device servers extensively before selecting Lantronix' UDS1100 for our conversion needs. Lantronix' reliable, easy-to-use technology and superior customer support made Lantronix the obvious choice as we continue to provide our customers with smart, dependable and cost-effective metering technology."

The UDS1100 uses serial tunneling to encapsulate serial data into packets and transport it over Ethernet. The device's built-in web server enables Quadlogic to access and configure the UDS1100 from a standard web browser using Lantronix' development tools to customize the product for unique applications.

"Providing our customers with superior device networking and remote access technology is a key priority for Lantronix," said Paul Pishal, Vice President of Product Management for Lantronix. "Our work with Quadlogic is testament to how we work with companies' existing robust technology, and provide competitive business value by bringing it onto the network."
