Press Release Summary:
License-free status of TransNET(TM) 900 is approved under FCC Part 15. Narrowband transceiver operates within 902-928 MHz ISM band, supports up to 115,200 bps continuous data flow, and is compatible with all asynchronous SCADA protocols and RTUs. Compact size and low-current consumption make it suited for direct mounting inside devices such as RTUs, PLCs, EFMs or RPCs. Sleep mode reduces current draw to less than 8 mA during standby periods.Original Press Release:
MDS TransNET(TM) 900 approved under FCC rules
Rochester, NY, February 12, 2002: Long range, license-free solution delivers speeds up to 115.2 kbps Microwave Data Systems (MDS), a world leader in wireless networking solutions for SCADA/telemetry, telecommunications, and online transaction processing markets today announced the approval of its new MDS TransNET(TM) 900 under FCC Part 15 rules. The approval affirms the license-free status of the transceiver and clears the way for sales of the product.
The TransNET 900 is designed to meet the industry's growing demand for a rugged, reliable radio offering data speeds previously unavailable in narrowband transceivers. The radio supports up to 115,200 bps continuous data flow and offers compatibility with virtually all asynchronous SCADA protocols and RTUs.
"Demand for a rugged, reliable radio offering higher data throughput has been growing throughout the industry," said Rick Nozel, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for MDS. "We are excited to add the TransNet to our industry leading portfolio of narrowband and spread spectrum transparent radio solutions, all with the quality and reliability that MDS customers have come to expect." Operating within the 902-928 MHz ISM band, the TransNET 900 includes interference avoidance features that allow users to "sidestep" interference, even in harsh RF environments. In addition, the transceiver's compact size and low current consumption make it well suited for direct mounting inside other devices such as RTUs, PLCs, EFMs or RPCs. The radio's "sleep mode" feature reduces current draw to less than 8 mA during standby periods, while preserving its ability to be brought quickly online.
Microwave Data Systems Inc., headquartered in Rochester, New York, designs and manufactures networked high speed point-to-multi-point, medium and low capacity point-to-point microwave radios for use in oil and gas, utility, lottery, traffic monitoring, public safety, and telecommunication provider industries.
