Fixed Frequency Licensed Solutions

MDS...Global wireless solutions. Industrial Wireless Performance.

For almost two decades Microwave Data Systems (MDS) has been providing wireless networking solutions with applications in SCADA, telemetry, telecommunications, and online transaction markets. MDS provides licensed and unlicensed solutions, approaching 1,000,000 radios installed in 110 countries.

MDS Transceiver Series Overview

The MDS Transceiver Series is a price/performance leader in licensed microwave radios in the 800-960 MHz frequency ranges. They provide increased throughput, and longer range for multiple address systems. Transparent and asynchronous communication offers real-time com-munication. No extra software or programming is needed to implement communications using standard asynchronous protocols. A general purpose (unconditioned) digital output is available.

The MDS Transceiver Series is field configurable as a master station or remote radio. They can operate as a half-duplex or simplex radio. They support all splits in duplex frequencies. When operating as a master station, full network diagnostics are available. Simplex mode permits peer-to-peer radio communications. This product is available for use in Class 1, Division 2, Groups A, B, C & D hazardous locations.*

Why Consider a MDS Transceiver Series Solution?

High system performance and data integrity! Through robust construction, digital signal processing technology (DSP) and we offer up to 19.2 kbps data throughput.

Rapid Installation! Quick return on investment due to ease of wireless installation. This licensed radio offers the ability to communicate with any asynchronous protocol without extra software or extra programming.

Performance under the most adverse conditions! Exceptional design provides excellent performance in the face of interference or difficult signal paths.

Network Wide Diagnostics! InSite Network Management software simplifies tasks and reduces the cost of managing the network infrastructure. Provides a non-intrusive means of maintenance and link monitoring.
