Long Range Communications Backward Compatibility The MDS SD Series of industrial-strength radios offer secure, reliable, long distance transmission of data for your mission critical applications. The SD Series combines 5 Watt transmit power and exceptional receive sensitivity to support wide coverage areas and maximum performance when difficult terrain or obstructions such as trees and buildings limit the effectiveness of other wireless devices. The SD Series operates in the 100 MHz (SD1), 200 MHz (SD2), 400 MHz (SD4) and 900 MHz (SD9) frequencies and allows users to select the channel size...

SDxP Redundant/Protected Models The SD Series low power consumption and sleep mode make it ideal for applications requiring solar power operation. The SD Series requires less energy resulting in lower costs for solar panels and batteries. The SDxP is used when applications demand no single point of failure for the communications system. The MDS SDxP incorporates two MDS SD transceivers and power supplies with automatic or manual switchover capability. On detection of a failure, the MDS SDxP switches immediately to the standby transceiver. The switchover occurs for selectable transceiver...
