February 16, 2009 - For extremely high flexibility, the radios can be integrated into point-to-point or multipoint architectures. Each can be configured as transmitter, receiver or repeater. The RLX-IFHS radios use the 2.4 GHz or 900 MHz bands.
The 2.4 GHz RLX-IFH24S models operate in the international unlicensed frequency band and comply with European regulations. The 900 MHz RLX-IFH9S models can be used when exported to some countries. The frequency-hopping technology of these radios gives the wireless network improved security, near-immunity to interference and extended range: 24 km for the 2.4 GHz model and 48 km for the 900 MHz model in point-to-point operation with directional antennas (and unobstructed line of sight, necessary at these frequencies).
Main features
All the RLX-IFHS radios offer: 128-bit AES encryption, adjustable transmission power (10 to 100 mW for the 2.4 GHz European version, up to 1 W for the US version), transmission channel selection, programmable data transfer rates, Class I Div 2 hardened industrial enclosure. The easy to use ProSoft Technology´s ControlScape software which is necessary for network configuration and advanced diagnostics is free of charge. The software monitors variables such as signal strength, transmitted data, number of network connections, etc., to help the user install and maintain his network.
All RadioLinx products are licence-free and have UL 1604/ISA 12.12.01 Class I Division 2 certification for demanding environments. Each ProSoft Technology product comes with a 3-year warranty and unlimited technical support.
