INTRODUCED IN INDIA, FROM NEAR AND FAR
The devices include an electrically erasable programmable readonly memory, a static random-access memory and a unique Id—which can be ordered blank or with a preprogrammed MAC address. Along with the automatic battery switch-over for backup power, the devices also have a power-fail time stamp.
