Reliable RF connectivity promised for harsh environmental conditions

6 April 2005 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Fuelled by market demand for affordable, heavy-duty wireless equipment, AeroComm developed the ACE family of RF modems.

The ACE6490 and ACE6790 are housed in rugged NEMA-4x enclosures, designed to withstand the rigours of extreme weather or other severe surroundings. Each product delivers variable output power up to 1 W at 900 MHz.

ACE products embed two distinct protocols to enhance flexibility for rugged applications. ACE6790 uses dynamic peer-to-peer protocol for enabling mesh topology, while ACE6490 uses AeroComm's signature server/client networking architecture. These products are ideal for any application where weather or other harsh environments are a concern. Typical applications include scada, industrial control, outdoor signage and utility monitoring.

A convenient and cost-efficient feature of the ACE products is the ability to use them with AeroComm's existing 900 MHz solutions. Both these transceivers have compatible over-the-air communications with all 4490- and 4790-series ConnexLink and OEM modules. Users can save additional cost by using ACE in the harsh area while communicating wirelessly to other AeroComm products in non-harsh areas.

All AeroComm 900 MHz transceivers utilise FHSS technology, employ data-encryption standards and support transmit-power levels of up to 1 W. ACE Evaluation Kits are available, featuring two transceivers, antennas, power supplies and cabling to assist customers in assessment.
