Korenix Technology, part of the Beijer Electronic Group, is proud to introduce its new monitoring app -- JetWave Smart Remote (JSR). JSR creates a smarter and easier way to connect with and manage Korenix JetWave products.

In industrial networking environments, IT engineers are often not on site when an issue occurrs, and it takes a lot of time and effort for local engineers to solve the problem. The issue is even more difficult for Wi-Fi networking devices, since they are often moving or in hidden places. The operation of such networks is more difficult than wired networks. The JSR App sets out to solve these problems by providing a simple tool for both IT and OT engineers in environments with Wi-Fi devices.

By downloading the app, users can easily connect their wireless AP/client to their phone. The app works as a small management system on your phone that can automatically detect all nearby Korenix AP and client devices. With the Korenix JSR app, engineers can check AP/client connection status or package loss rate with only a few clicks. Moreover, the app also has an antenna assistant function, which allows engineers to effortlessly adjust an antenna so at is at the best possible angle. With Korenix JSR, an engineer’s life is made easier. From installing to troubleshooting Korenix wireless AP devices, all processes can be managed at your fingertips.

AP location detector

Korenix JSR shows the signal dBm of each AP/client, which allows engineers to check the best connecting signal on their phone. Before, when installing multiple AP devices in the field engineers could only find out the signal strength between two AP devices after installation. If the signal wasn't strong enough, the AP device had to be removed and reinstalled somewhere else. This type of installation is time consuming and inefficient. With Korenix JSR, engineers can now walk around by just carrying their phone to find the best spot with the strongest signal.

Antenna Assistant for effortless adjustment

The Antenna Assistant helps engineers adjust antennas by displaying the signal strength and generating a beeping sound. With the audio assistant, engineers can adjust the antenna without repeatedly checking on a computer, and can simply fix it through listening to the frequency of the beeps.


Efficient troubleshooting for AGV environments

Wireless products are often used in factory automation environments, such as automated guided vehicles (AGV). In many cases when an AGV breaks down it is sometimes difficult for local engineers to determine the problem. Korenix’s JetWave Smart Remote (JSR) app can show the status of each Wi-Fi AP and client so engineers can identify the problem in time.

The Korenix JSR can be connected to Korenix JetWave Wi-Fi products, such as JetWave2212 Series, JetWave 3220 Series. The app is a compact management system that fits in the palm of your hand. It is easy to use and helps to make device installation more efficient. In addition, it also provides an efficient way of troubleshooting. Korenix JSR will soon be available for download on Korenix website. To learn more about JSR, contact the company's sales team at sales@korenix.com.
