MDS x790 Series
Master Station 4790, 9790 & SDA
The redundant, full-duplex MDS x790 Series Master Stations are the price and performance leader of licensed microwave radios in the 330-512 MHz and 800-960 MHz frequency range. It gives increased throughput and longer range alternatives for our customers’ Multiple Address Systems needs. Transparent and direct asynchronous communications offer real-time communication. No extra software or programming is needed to implement communications that use standard asynchronous protocols. The addition of the SD Adapter enables IP/Ethernet communications and AES 128-bit encryption to a system based on the MDS SD Series radio.
The MDS x790 Series Master Station may operate as a full-duplex, half-duplex or simplex radio and is configurable as a redundant master station, a redundant repeater or a remote radio. The MDS 4790 and MDS 4710 or the MDS 9790 and MDS 9710 remote transceivers together offer a new level of ease of integration, reliability and performance for our customers’ data network systems.
Manufacturing has discontinued as of December, 2016.
Key Benefits
- High system performance and data integrity with robust construction and digital signal processing technology (DSP) providing up to 19.2 Kbps data throughput
- Quick return on investment due to ease of wireless installation, coupled with the ability to communicate with any asynchronous protocol without extra software or programming
- Excellent performance in the face of interference or difficult signal paths
- Network management software simplifies maintenance tasks, reduces network infrastructure management costs, and provides a non-intrusive means of maintenance and link monitoring
Industrially Hardened
- Operation in extreme temperatures from –30°C to 60°C
- CSA Class I, Div. 2 groups A, B, C, D for Hazardous Locations
Application Flexibility
- Long range wireless communications up to 50 miles Fully compatible with first generation MDS radios
Reliable & Scalable
- Exclusive-use, non-shared licensed band operation
- Point-to-multipoint 2-way communication
- High receive sensitivity for noisy environments and long distances
- Compatible with multiple industry protocols including Modbus and DNP3
High Performance
- Digital signal processing (DSP) engine
- Single unit configurable as master or remote radio
- Inter-operable “B” versions available for use with existing MDS 2000, MDS 4000 series radios
