Why use a GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP Wireless Networking Solution?

The first split-mount radio truly optimized for long-haul applications.

Unparalleled Flexibility - GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP, the latest member of the GE MDS product family, provides wireless high-capacity data transmission over long distances, in a wide variety of network capacities, frequencies and configurations. GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP operates in the frequency range of 6-11 GHz and can be installed outdoors, in a simple split-mount configuration, or all-indoor in a standard rack. Capacities can be easily upgraded from 45 Mbps up to (N+1) x155 Mbps.

Unique Traffic Protection - For maximum versatility and transmission efficiency, the Radio Frequency Unit (RFU) is equipped with space diversity capability. The unit includes two receivers and one transmitter, an IF combining algorithm and extremely high transmit power. The dual receivers and IF combining algorithm, provide reliable and enhanced diversity protection against the multipath phenomenon. In a 1+1 Hot Standby link with space diversity, the system consistently transmits error-free data, and retains its space diversity capability. With its reliable fiber-like transceiving quality and protection capabilities, GE MDS Intrepid-HC HP is a dependable telecommunications solution for different network topologies, such as chain, ring, mesh, and star.
