JAVAD AW400BT 4W UHF Radio Transceiver
The AW400BT 4W UHF radio transceiver from JAVAD GNSS provides a high-speed point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless data transfer at up to 38.4 kbps, at a maximum range of 16 miles (26 km).
Description
Overview
The AW400BT 4W UHF radio transceiver from JAVAD GNSS is a narrow-band radio transceiver with USB and Bluetooth® capabilities, fully programmable within the range 406 to 470 MHz.
The AW400BT provides a high-speed point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless data transfer at up to 38.4 kbps. The AW400BT firmware supports user selectable modulation techniques (GMSK, 4FSK, DBPSK, DQPSK, D8PSK, or D16QAM), which allows the user to achieve the highest data speed for a given range (up to 16 miles/26 km). It also includes a selectable error correction, which improves the functioning of the radio modem under interference.
The sophisticated features of the AW400BT include data scrambling, frequency hopping, user-selectable transmit output power level, low power consumption sleep modes, auto scanning for the base and plug-and-play installation for remote terminals.
The built-in software tools provide the wireless link testing, unit’s status and error statistics monitoring as well as unit’s settings change over the air. The firmware of the AW400BT radio modem resides in a flash memory. The updating of the radio modem programs is entirely software-based. The flash memory is reprogrammable through an RS-232 interface, USB, or Bluetooth.
