BOULDER, Colo., March 8 /PRNewswire/ -- FreeWave Technologies, (http://www.freewave.com), manufacturer of the most reliable, high-performance spread spectrum and licensed radios for critical data transmission, today announced the latest version of its DataLogger software. This new version includes a number of enhancements and is bundled together with FreeWave's Tool Suite™ V.2.6, the latest version of FreeWave's Tool Suite platform management system. The updated software is free to all FreeWave customers.

FreeWave's DataLogger software assists in remotely monitoring and reporting cathodic protection (CP) operational values for pipelines, tanks, structures and other underground facilities that are subject to environmental corrosion in industries such as oil and gas and water/wastewater. The latest CP DataLogger offers a new drag and drop grouping feature, a tree view control to visually indicate the relationship between groups and member sites, and a more scalable database. FreeWave's Tool Suite is a software platform for managing radio configuration and network diagnostics needs from a single interface.

"We decided to incorporate our latest version of the CP DataLogger within Tool Suite V.2.6 to provide our cathodic protection customers with the benefits of Tool Suite, as well as the ability to continually install Tool Suite updates," explained Craig Held, business advisor and acting CP product manager at FreeWave. "The Tool Suite/DataLogger combined offering will have the same easy-to-install features as previous versions of the software."

Now that DataLogger is bundled with Tool Suite, FreeWave's CP customers also can take advantage of recent updates to Tool Suite, including:

• Enhanced configuration and network diagnostics, including a new radio templating feature and optimized radio settings display.
• Updated firmware.
• Additional radio support for several series of FreeWave radios, such as the I2-IO slave and CP 2.4 GHz radios.
