MDS

The MDS SD4 is a licensed narrowband radio in 400MHz. With a software-defined modem and an optimised hardware platform, this radio is the ideal platform for current and future deployments of SCADA and telemetry systems for monitoring and control.

Integrated serial and Ethernet* interfaces provide a path for future equipment connectivity needs. Lower power consumption reduces the size of batteries and solar panels. Extended range supports lower overall infrastructure costs. The wide frequency plan reduces the number of spares required to support a system.

Remote management software simplifies maintenance tasks and reduces the cost of managing the network infrastructure. It also provides a non-intrusive means of maintenance and link monitoring.

With hardened industrial specs like a wider temperature range of operation, the MDS SD4 meets the stringent environmental requirements for mission- critical applications. This product is available for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C & D hazardous locations.**

The MDS SD4 is configured as a master station or remote radio. It can operate as a half-duplex or simplex radio. Duplex frequency split is configurable via software, providing a more flexible radio that can be used in different scenarios. Remote network management and diagnostics are available.

Multiple interfaces accommodate different connectivity needs with the same unit without the need of external equipment. 400MHz operation with FCC and ETSI approvals ensure applicability around the world. Software defined operation minimises administration and maintenance costs.
