IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - July 27, 2009) - Lantronix, Inc. (NASDAQ: [ LTRX ]), a leading provider of secure, remote management, device networking and data center management technologies, today announced that Spectrum CNC, developer of the most reliable direct numerically controlled (DNC) software, has selected Lantronix to deliver a highly-dependable wireless industrial automation solution that eliminates the need for wiring throughout the production floor.

Spectrum CNC's Multi-DNC is a software-based machine tool communications system, and the first product to enable simultaneous uploads, downloads and dripfeeding of data into multiple computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines. Following its launch, customers began demanding a wireless solution that would simplify installations, reduce costs and increase flexibility for machine movement.

Spectrum CNC chose Lantronix to assist in engineering the product because of its expertise in wireless network connectivity. Lantronix' engineers paired its embedded wireless device server, MatchPort b/g, with Spectrum CNC's software.

Spectrum CNC can now offer its customers the flexibility to locate equipment practically anywhere on the shop floor while monitoring it via a centralized operations console.

"Working with a recognized industry leader like Lantronix ensured our ability to innovate the most reliable wireless solution, which provides great benefits to our customers," said Toni Novak, president at Spectrum CNC. "MatchPort was the perfect complement to our software and has allowed us to edge out competitors, while continuing to evolve our offerings to meet our customers' needs."
