Orange County, CA — ECOLINQX, a leader in Hybrid Wired IoT and broadband power line communication technologies, today announced the expansion of its BRIDGIT™ product family with the introduction of BRIDGIT‑Air™, a breakthrough contactless communication module engineered specifically for factory automation, robotics, and motion‑intensive industrial systems.
Building on the success of BRIDGIT‑Wire™, which delivers broadband data over any wired medium, BRIDGIT‑Air™ extends the platform into environments where traditional wiring, slip rings, and flex cables limit reliability, uptime, and mechanical life.
BRIDGIT‑Air™ enables high‑speed, deterministic data transfer across a short magnetic nearfield link — with zero physical contact. This eliminates wear, friction, and electrical noise, making it ideal for:
- Robotic joints and end‑effectors
- Wireless Charging + Data for AGVs
- Rotating machinery and turntables
- Packaging and material‑handling systems
- High‑motion industrial equipment
Powered by the IEEE 1901‑2020 Nessum broadband standard, BRIDGIT‑Air™ delivers
- High‑speed, low‑latency communication across a controlled air gap
- Zero‑maintenance operation with no mechanical contact points
- Immunity to EMI, vibration, and harsh industrial environments
- A unified SoM architecture shared with BRIDGIT‑Wire™, enabling OEMs to design once and deploy across both wired and contactless applications
“Factory automation is evolving rapidly, and motion‑centric systems need a communication layer that doesn’t wear out,” said Michael Navid, the CEO of ECOLINQX. “BRIDGIT‑Air™ removes the mechanical limitations of slip rings and flex cables while delivering broadband performance that industrial OEMs can trust.”
The introduction of BRIDGIT‑Air™ positions ECOLINQX as a key enabler of next‑generation smart factories, offering a scalable platform that unifies wired and contactless communication under a single technology family.
