imagination at work
The MDS SD Series are industrial wireless solutions that provide long distance communications
over licensed radio bands, allowing users to interface to both Ethernet and serial controllers such
as PLCs, RTUs and SCADA systems.
This software-controlled digital radio is the latest generation of MDS licensed narrowband wireless
devices and is compatible with previous generations, allowing for a smooth and controlled upgrade
to existing systems.
