In 2005 at the 8th Annual International Symposium on Fireworks, one of the leading wireless firing system manufacturers presented a discussion and paper on wireless pyrotechnic firing systems operational reliability in which they conclude that technology has yet to be developed for a wireless communications system that is immune to interference from outside sources.

Well, not only is that technology here, but shortly after that presentation, David Russell and Larry Mattingly of Firelinx gave a Power Point Presentation entitled "Wireless Fundamentals" explaining how the "Distributive Processing" (patent pending) of the New Firelinx Reliable Wireless firing system does work, and how it works.

April 10-22, 2005. Firelinx LLC recently made its debut to the world of pyrotechnics at the International Fireworks Symposium in Shiga Prefecture, in Southern Japan. Traveling along with the Command Module and several Dragonfly field modules were the Firelinx Board of Directors. David Russell, President, Larry Mattingly VP Sales and marketing and BOD members Jackie Whedbee, and Tom Walker made the long flight.

Dave Russell, assisted by Larry Mattingly, made a formal presentation about wireless firing and included a demo of the new Firelinx firing system. Distributive Processing was shown in the demo. The presentation and demo was well received and attendees from several countries showed interest, asking many questions.

Dave explained that Distributive Processing is a break from the normal master-slave architecture presently used by firing systems. The difference is that where other firing systems send a firing signal for each cue over wires or wireless radio circuit, Firelinx puts the firing cues in the modules with a high accuracy clock. All that needs to be received by the module is a start signal. There is also a shutdown signal and a heartbeat signal between the Command Module and field modules. Private demos and meetings were held away from the Symposium floor and there was great interest in purchasing the system as soon as production is proven and actual deliveries of systems take place. That is expected to take place in early 06.
