Universal transmitter makes sensors wireless network-capable

The integration into radio networks opens up new fields of application for switching devices and sensors - for example in the optimization of the internal material flow with eKanban systems. The prerequisite for this is the "radio capability" of the components, which does not necessarily have to be achieved by a built-in radio module. A separate external universal transmitter is completely sufficient.
