imagination at work
The MDS x710 Series is a price and performance leader in licensed microwave radios in the 130-174
MHz, 220-235 MHz, 330-512 MHz, and 800-960 MHz frequency ranges. They provide increased
throughput and longer range for multiple address systems. Transparent and direct asynchronous
communication offers real-time communication. No extra software or programming is needed
to implement communications using standard asynchronous protocols. A general purpose
(unconditioned) digital output is available.
The MDS x710 Series is field configurable as a master station or remote radio. The MDS x710 can
operate as a half-duplex or simplex radio, and supports all splits in duplex frequencies. When
operating as a master station, full network diagnostics are available. Simplex mode permits peer-
to-peer radio communications. This product is available for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C
& D hazardous locations.
