The redundant, full-duplex MDS x790 Series Master Stations are the price and performance leader
of licensed microwave radios in the 330-512 MHz and 800-960 MHz frequency range. It gives
increased throughput and longer range alternatives for our customers' Multiple Address Systems
needs. Transparent and direct asynchronous communications offer real-time communication.
No extra software or programming is needed to implement communications that use standard
asynchronous protocols. The addition of the SD Adapter enables IP/Ethernet communications and
AES 128-bit encryption to a system based on the MDS SD Series radio.
The MDS x790 Series Master Station may operate as a full-duplex, half-duplex or simplex radio and
is configurable as a redundant master station, a redundant repeater or a remote radio. The MDS
4790 and MDS 4710 or the MDS 9790 and MDS 9710 remote transceivers together offer a new level
of ease of integration, reliability and performance for our customers' data network systems.
