Reliable Wireless

Security

"The thing that scares me the most about wireless is the ability to tamper with it. What happens if one of my competitors is standing off the lot with another one of your systems, or they throw a radio jammer over the fence? With a wire, I'm not so worried."

Fireworks Firelinx is equipped with "Secure Wireless" anti-tamper encoding. A one-time encryption key is exchanged between the firing module and the Command Module, locking the two together for the duration of the show. No other device, even one of our own Command Modules, can talk to a firing module that is already in an encryption link. On the off chance that two systems were being used in close proximity, there is a slight chance that one of the modules would get linked to the wrong system, but it would show up as not connected on your panel. You need only turn it off and turn it on again to get it to attach to the correct Command Module. Our frequency hopping spread spectrum radio technology was originally developed in World War II to defeat enemy jamming. It would take a very sophisticated and powerful jamming device to overcome this technology. But for the sake of argument, let's assume someone went to all that trouble. As you set up the show, the system would warn you of extreme RF interference conditions, and you can still use simple firing wire to connect the modules as a backup.
