MDS Transceiver Series Overview
The GE MDS Transceiver Series is a price/performance leader in licensed microwave radios in the 220-222 MHz and 220-240 MHz frequency ranges. They provide increased throughput, and longer range for multiple address systems. Transparent and direct asynchronous communication offers real-time communication. No extra software or programming is needed to implement communications using standard asynchronous protocols. A general purpose (unconditioned) digital output is available. The GE 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 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 GE 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.
Features
- High Performance – Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Engine
- Flexibility – Single Unit Configurable as Master or Remote Radio
- Compatibility – Inter-operable Versions Available for use with Existing MDS 2000, MDS 4000 Series Radios
