Most Valuable Product

GE MDS devices provide the longest-range wireless solutions for industrial environments, with durable packaging, reliable links, quick system response times, and an extensive range of operating temperatures.

However, the most valuable aspect of our commitment to industrial, wireless performance isn’t delivered as a device or box. The true value of GE MDS is in the reliable, scaleable, compatible, secure and manageable networks we enable, the industrial wireless links, and the tools we offer to configure, install, and manage those networks.

The Power of Our People

Our customers also recognize the value of our people. Our technical and customer support staff, Wireless Systems Group (WSG), and our broad global reseller network all work hard to keep our customers’ networks running smoothly no matter what the application or environmental conditions.

Lowest Cost of Ownership

A critical indicator of network performance is the bottom line. So, we build GE MDS solutions to deliver the lowest possible cost of ownership. Our devices are long range, rugged and designed to perform in extreme conditions, so customers save immediately on infrastructure costs, and see less downtime and fewer repairs. Our devices also create future-proof and backward-compatible networks, allowing customers to easily make use of their existing networks and expand them when necessary.

Of course, managing hundreds or thousands of network devices can be difficult. So GE MDS has created an easy-to-use, standards based, scalable Network Management System that will make management of the GE MDS wireless network run smoothly and lower the system maintenance costs.
