The Next Level in Rack and Cage Technology

A simple system that requires an Ethernet or optional WiFi connection, Allentown's Wi-Com Vantage technology allows users to choose their own housing parameters, alarming points and sampling intervals for recording and managing data in real time. With specialized Allentown Wi-Com Vantage software this information is immediately accessible to multiple authorized users around the world.

How Wi-Com Vantage Works

Wireless-enabled Allentown supply and exhaust blowers broadcast rack parameter data to a central wireless hub located either inside or outside the animal holding room. The hub relays the information via Ethernet cable or WiFi (when used with wireless router) to a computer loaded with the Wi-Com Vantage software.
