Flexibility to Add New Customers to a TransIt Wireless Data Network

GE MDS is world leader in wireless data networking solutions with applications in the SCADA, telemetry, telecommunications, and on-line transaction processing markets. MDS TransIt™ Wireless Data Network systems satisfy customer application requirements while reducing costs. MDS TransIt™ systems offer a flexible solution that easily adds new applications or customers with multiple protocols to an existing TransIt wireless data network. In a TransIt solution, the number of network elements are reduced (fewer hardware requirements) because the TransIt NM-200 Master Station performs the functions of multiplexers and digital sharing devices. The remote NR-100 radios encapsulate different protocols to support a seamless wireless integration. Because of the reduced number of components, TransIt offers more efficient operation.

Performance and reliability may justify a TransIt implementation, but when the monthly operating costs are factored into the justification, the advantages of a TransIt wireless solution over a traditional wired infrastructure are significantly greater.

MDS TransIt also provides a Network Management System (NMS) to effectively control and monitor each component on the TransIt network. It provides a complete profile of the system, fault management, system configuration, and performance management and system security.
