2.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The transceiver is a software-configurable, industrial radio for use in
licensed data acquisition networks. It may be interfaced with a variety
of data control equipment including remote terminal units (RTUs), pro-
grammable logic controllers (PLCs), flow computers, and similar
devices. Data interface connections may be made for both serial
(RS-232/RS-485) and Ethernet protocols. It is designed for use in both
polled networks and report-by-exception (push) systems.
The radio employs digital signal processing (DSP) technology and a
fully digital transmit and receive IF chain to provide robust communica-
tions even under adverse conditions. DSP technology also helps elimi-
nate the effects of component variations or temperature changes,
resulting in optimized performance.
