Protected Master and Repeater Station
Mission critical applications demand that no single point of failure
can stop the communications system. In wireless applications the
master station serves as the central hub to all remote radios. The x790
Master Station with redundancy option increases the availability of a
system with a hot-standby configuration. The standby radio activates
automatically whenever a fault condition is detected by the active
radio.
For repeater locations, the full-duplex capability of the x790 maximizes
the speed of data traffic relays, for a system with better overall
performance.

Remote & Master Station
The x710 radio operates in the 200, 400 or 900 MHz licensed frequency
bands.
A radio system is built with a master station and remote radios.
Additionally, the use of repeater stations helps to overcome
obstructions and extend coverage.
x710 radios operate on a specific frequency band, and are tuned at
the factory to the ordered operational range. No field adjustments are
necessary for normal operation.
