Redpark Product Development has announced the launch of its Lighting Ethernet adapter, made specifically for the iPad. It is designed for use with kiosks, point-of-sale systems and other deployments, according to the press release.

"We've designed the Ethernet and Power Adapter for use in point-of-sale systems, kiosks, automation control systems and other use cases where there is a need to connect an iPad to a wired network interface and to power," said Mike Ridenhour, president of Redpark. "While WiFi is suitable for many commercial applications, wired Ethernet provides unmatched reliability and security."

The adapter is also designed for use with any iOS app that supports Redpark's Ethernet SDK, according to the release. 

"We also provide SDKs for enterprises and app developers to use in developing their solutions," Ridenhour said. "Our SDKs provide full control over configuration of the network interface and also enable simultaneous use of two network interfaces, something that has never been possible on an iPad before."
