MDS Mercury 900TM is the company's latest solution for both fixed and mobile applications and provides wireless connectivity between the corporate network, fleet vehicles, well sites and compressors-at adaptive data rates approaching 12 Mbps.
Based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), the MDS Mercury features high speed/low latency, Quality of Service (QoS), Ethernet and serial encapsulation, and network roaming. It also provides enhanced security including AES encryption and RADIUS authentication, making the MDS Mercury the best combination of security, range and speed of any industrial wireless solution on the market today.
"The MDS Mercury radio is another example of working together with our customers to meet their needs as they transition to the digital field of the future," said MDS Vice President of Engineering John Geiger. "Real-time data will become more dependent upon bandwidth-intensive applications, and Mercury is designed to support those applications."
