AVTECH Announces Release of Room Alert 3 Wi-Fi 2.0 Firmware Rhode Island manufacturer of environment monitors introduces new firmware to add direct alerting capabilities, increased security, improved wireless reach, and more to their popular wi-fi enabled monitor

August 16, 2018 Warren, RI – AVTECH Software (AVTECH) has announced the release of new firmware for their Room Alert 3 Wi-Fi monitor. Installing the firmware instantly upgrades the device to 2.0 status, providing on-board alerting, increased security, enhanced wireless network reach and stability, and more.

Now in its 30th year in business, AVTECH manufactures Room Alert, the world’s most popular environment monitor. Room Alert is made in the USA and proactively monitors environment conditions such as temperature, humidity, flood, power, smoke, and more. Room Alert is currently used in 186 of 196 countries by organizations ranging from thousands of small businesses to Amazon, Boeing, Sprint, Microsoft, over 80% of the Fortune 1000, the United Nations, Pentagon, all branches of the US government, all 50 states, and many local governments. AVTECH was named “RI Exporter of the Year” by the US Small Business Administration for 2018.

 “Our users have come to rely on Room Alert monitors to alert them to environment factors that could potentially cause outages and downtime,” said Richard Grundy, President of AVTECH. “Up to this point, all of our hardware monitors provided direct alerting features as part of their built-in web interface, except for the Room Alert 3 Wi-Fi. This new firmware update adds that highly popular feature, while also helping to improve local hardware security, enhance wireless network strength and stability, and improving support for our digital sensors. We felt that adding all of these new features and enhancements at no cost would help improve the experience for all of our Room Alert 3 Wi-Fi users around the world.”

The Room Alert 3 Wi-Fi provides wireless environment monitoring at a low cost, with a small footprint. It’s the perfect solution to monitor small spaces such as IT closets, small server rooms, basements, and storage facilities.

In addition to Room Alert environment monitors, AVTECH also provides the online Room Alert Account service and Device ManageR software for Room Alert monitoring, management, logging, alerting and reporting. All are completely designed and supported at AVTECH’s corporate headquarters at Cutler Mill in Warren, Rhode Island.

AVTECH offers a wide range of digital, switch and analog sensors designed to help users monitor as many environment conditions as possible to help protect their data centers, server rooms and facilities as part of their business continuity plan.
