Radio Frequency (RF) Modems and Transceivers

The Telenetics PE2.4RF is a low power, point-to-point radio transceiver module designed for transmitting and receiving data over distances up to 1,000 feet. By operating at low frequency (49MHz) with multi-channel autoscanning, the PE2.4RF provides excellent penetration through buildings, trees and other obstacles, and guarantees highly reliable data transmission.

 The PE2.4RF module can be integrated into original equipment manufacturers (OEM) products (eg; controllers, RTUs, meters, etc.), or packaged in the Telenetics "MIU" standalone case for external mounting. In the "MIU" case, the PE2.4RF can be combined with a Telenetics dial-up or leased line modem module to produce an RF modem.

Transceivers/ Modems

The AirWave is a low frequency (unlicensed band), RF transceiver, suitable for transmitting data at 9600bps over short distances. Its high penetration capabilities make the AirWave suitable for point-to point and multipoint applications within campuses, substations and industrial facilities.

  • 9600bps up to 1,000 feet
  • Up to 1 mile over licensed bands
    Half Duplex
  • High Penetration Capability
  • Multichannel Autoscanning
  • Point-to-Point or Multipoint
  • Integral V.32bis Modem if Required
  • Extended Temperature Capabilities
  • Wide Range of Operating Voltages

 

The Telenetics AirWave. Model PE9.6AW is a low power, radio transceiver module designed for
transmitting and receiving data over distances up to 1,000 feet on low frequency, unlicensed bands. By
operating at low frequency with multi-channel autoscanning,
the PE9.6AW provides excellent penetration through buildings, trees and other obstacles, and guarantees highly reliable data transmission.
If operated over VHF licensed
frequencies, the range of the
PE9.6AW is increased to 1 mile.

The PE9.6AW module is powered
from 5.5 - 9VDC and can be
integrated into original equipment
manufacturers (OEM) products
(eg; controllers, RTUs, meters, etc.).

The MIU9.6AW is a PE9.6AW
module installed in the Telenetics
"MILI" standalone case for external mounting. In the MILI case, the PE9.6AW can be combined with a Telenetics dialup or leased line modem module

to produce a remote RF Modem.
Other options include a fiber optic or RS485 interface: See the Telenetics Pony Express Modem Module
brochure for complete details.

The MIU9.6AW is surge
protected,can be powered from a
wide range of AC or DC voltages
and will operate in temperatures
from -40 to 850C.

Both the PE9.6AW module and the MIU9.6AW standalone unit are supplied with a compact, omni-directional antenna.
