› October 09, 2007

A couple of months ago, we announced both the release of the first UMTS 4-port router and we described the first projects realized through this new product. We did that to emphasize the versatility of the Digi UMTS ConnectPortWAN. And we also expressed our hopes and expectations for future realizations with it.

Multicap enables online tracking&tracing of Sarens's cranes

› October 09, 2007

Early 2007, Belgian wireless specialists Multicap and the internationally renowned crane company Sarens NV started an interesting and challenging cooperation.

THE CHALLENGE

Sarens's specialised cranes are being rented and used worldwide. So far, the company never had any means to online follow up on the exact location of its cranes and on the actual number of hours they had been active. An automated localisation and follow-up system might be a solution, Sarens figured.

Early August, Multicap and its valued Dutch reseller A² Networks realised a 100 Mbps full-duplex wireless point-to-point link between a printing-business and its neighbouring publishing firm in Doetinchem, in eastern Holland. This connection, spanning a 400-meter distance, is set up using the highly performant and 100% secure Proxim Tsunami GX.200, one of the wireless backhaul solutions of the meanwhile famous pioneering wireless vendor.

Rock Werchter 2007: mud, 300.000 visitors, prestige, Pearl Jam, Metallica... and MULTICAP!

› July 03, 2007

As a visitor or a mere outsider, you couldn't possibly imagine the enormous organisation that is behind an event like Rock Werchter. Who would have thought that a rock festival - elected the best in the world, by the way - would yield an impressive number of wireless challenges? Multicap now since three editions has the privilege to tackle and provide an answer to the wireless questions posed by the organisation of this alternative high mass!

SDV: International freight forwarder with UMTS/HSDPA VPN connection

› May 30, 2007

SDV is an international freight forwarder and logistics specialist with its central IT department in Antwerp (Belgium) and several branch offices, of which one on Schiphol, the National Airport of The Netherlands. A couple of months ago, SDV changed locations on Schiphol with the unfortunate consequence that there is no leased line yet between the new Schiphol building and the IT department in Antwerp with its servers, etc. Luckily, Multicap could provide a reliable temporary alternative with its Digi UMTS router.

Mercedes Car Assistance Center (CAC): 100% reliable wireless Voice-over-IP with Multicap

› May 10, 2007

To come across the end customer's wishes and needs, Multicap here worked like it always does: in a tight cooperation with its integrator! The end customer, in this case a major Mercedes Car Assistance Center in the Belgian City of Turnhout, was no longer satisfied with its combination of GSM and DECT telephony for its account managers. They had to carry two portable phones and it was for example not possible to see whether they already had a line or not.

Therefore, a reliable alternative was more than welcome!

Antwerp Zoo: Manual ticket control replaced by WLAN-enabled handheld terminals

› April 30, 2007

Every year, world-famous Antwerp Zoo welcomes over one million visitors, all of whom pass through the monumental yet quite narrow entrance gate. Until recently, ticket control was still carried out manually. That typically caused problems on busy days when it was never easy to distinguish whether a ticket had already been validated or not.

Multicap is in all Belgian and even Dutch newspapers with its wireless mouse traps

› April 10, 2007

Last year, we restyled our company brochure in which we put it like this: if it's wireless, unusual and challenging, it's Multicap you need to contact!

And that is exactly what the Belgian pest control company Ondes did. It had already been looking for quite a while for a solution to optimize its mouse traps. Installed in dark and remote places in food and pharmaceutical companies, they typically caused a problem of management, efficiency and labour-intensitivity. Ondes knew that technology could provide the solution, but tests so far had been unsuccessful.

World-famous nuclear research laboratory CERN uses Proxim AP-4000 Mesh Access Points

› December 14, 2006

Last year, the Geneva-based nuclear research laboratory CERN (European Centre for Nuclear Research) bought 60 dual-radio Proxim ORiNOCO AP-4000 Mesh Access Points from Multicap. This organisation - in whose buildings the world-famous Dan Brown bestseller 'Angels & Demons' starts - chose our Access Points because of the available Mesh* functionality. That feature allows CERN to extend the range of the laboratory's Wi-Fi network and to provide continuous monitoring of the lab's calorimeters as the scientists descend into the underground cavern (100m underground!) to conduct experiments.

Press conference opening largest wireless Mesh outdoor network on Brussels university campus

› November 25, 2006

On November 16, Multicap attended the press conference on which Brussels Regional Informatics Minister Guy Vanhengel launched a prestigious wireless project on the Brussels University Campus. Thanks to the Ministry's initiative, students and all other campus visitors enjoy the comfort of free wireless Internet access in the university park. Multicap and its partner Imtech Telecom were selected to provide the necessary infrastructure ensuring wireless coverage that would equal broadband wired internet connections. Moreover, the technology used had to support both WiMAX and Wi-Fi so that thorough testing could be done with free internal IP telephony for the university staff.

Sheraton Brussels Airport Hotel: Multicap provides successful integrated alerting solution

› November 14, 2006

In the past, the Sheraton Hotel at Brussels International Airport used to use Belgacom Semadigit to send all of the technical and fire alerts to the responsible persons. Because of the fact that the majority of the staff was thus carrying two devices with them (semaphone and GSM), Sheraton decided to look for a solution to send the alerts by SMS. It contacted Multicap which, after analysis of the existing system, advised to use the central management software package "message master Enterprise Alert". After thorough testing and approval by Sheraton, Multicap realised a connection through a serial protocol between the fire and technical central on the one hand and Enterprise Alert on the other hand.

Multicap TransCommBox conquers Dutch public transport market

› October 14, 2006

As a long time partner of Multicap, Prodata Systems convinced with Veolia yet another major new customer for their ticketing application. Like Arriva, the bus company covering most of the north of The Netherlands, Veolia recently decided to deploy Multicap’s CommBox on its bus connections. As such, all major players on the Dutch public transport market have now become, indirectly, Multicap customers.

Clear Channel: the right publicity and nothing but the right publicity

› May 30, 2006

Until recently, visitors of Carrefour, a large supermarket chain in Belgium, might have thought while parking their car: “Well, that publicity pannel seems to be out of service?!” To repair this, Clear Channel had inspectors driving around all day. They would then check whether the pannels were still functioning like they should. Since 2003, the responsible technician will receive an SMS containing an automatic failure notice through the central server. If, for one reason or another, the technician would not be able to react on the message, a colleague will be noticed.

December 2005: Exploring the boundaries of wireless technology: entertainment for 227.500 spectators

› December 31, 2005

Apart from making its preparations for the Christmas turkey and the New Year’s fireworks, a huge part of the Belgian population spends its time in the Antwerp “Sportpaleis”, the largest venue in Belgium. Over the last six years, Clouseau - a band with a local popularity comparable to that of Robbie Williams or Coldplay - literally attracted hundreds of thousands of attendants to its spectacular December shows.
