For nearly two decades GE MDS has been providing highly secure, industrial strength mission critical wireless communcations solutions for a broad spectrum of public and private sector clients worldwide. With an installed base approaching 1,000,000 radios installed in 110 countries. MDS offers both licensed and license-free solutions with applications in SCADA, telemetry, public safety, telecommuncations, and online transaction markets.
MDS FIVE.8™
The MDS FIVE Series consists of an open front/rear Software Defined Indoor Unit (IDU) and Outdoor Unit (ODU). The MDS FIVE Series radios are spectrum and data rate scalable, enabling utilities or other organizations to trade-off system gain with spectral efficiency and channel availability for optimal network connectivity. The MDS FIVE.8TM radio delivers aggregate rates up to 200 Mbps within the 5.7 - 5.8 GHz ISM band for distances of up to 20 miles. A common platform supports plug-in 100 Mbps Ethernet.
Why use an MDS FIVE Series Solution?
- Quick Return on investment--replaces leased-lines.
- Consecutive point architecture configurable--able to support a ring/consecutive point configuration with special set-up (see diagram at bottom of page).
- Self-healing redundancy--more reliable than traditional point-to-point networks.
- Automatically adjusts transmit power in response to RF interference, simplifying deployment, network management, and enabling dense deployment.
Features
- Fast Ethernet--Scalable from 25 Mbps to 100 Mbps
- Scalable to up tp 16 T1/E1s
- Scalable and Spectrally Efficient
- ISM 5.8 GHz Unlicensed Band
- UNII 5.3 GHz Unlicensed Band
- Adaptive Power Control
