FGR-Series Professional: Rugged or Waterproof

900 MHz Spread Spectrum Wireless Radios
 
Common features of the FGR series:

The FGR family is the latest improvement in our line of products, with features including:

  • New Separate diagnostic port - real time remote diagnostics and setup, transparent to network communications.
  • New Improved diagnostics - including RSSI levels in dBm, antenna VSWR and transmit current.
  • New Wide input voltage range - 6 to 30 Volt DC.
  • New The lowest current draw of any radio - at 12 Volts:
    • < 6 mA in sleep mode with no wake up delay
    • < 21 mA in idle mode
    • < 86 mA in full time receive
    • < 500 mA transmit current
  • New Improved low signal performance - RISC-based signal demodulation with matched filter.
  • New Improved strong signal performance - New RF front end gives a 10 dB improvement. A new optional setting is available for strong signal applications in which the radio's overload level improves an additional 8 dB (18 dB over DGR series radios) while still maintaining a -106 dBm sensitivity level.
  • New Synthesized waveform transmit data - reduces out of band modulation products.
  • New Additional processing power - With 4 times the Flash, twice the RAM, and 20 times the processing speed, along with a 2nd processor handling the low level duties, the FGR series has plenty of horsepower for new enhancements in network and diagnostic management software.
  • Backward compatible - 100% compatible with all existing 900 MHz FreeWave radios.
  • Versatile - A single radio can operate simultaneously as a Slave and as a Repeater.
  • High Noise Immunity - Superior Performance in noise congested environments.
  • Secure - Proprietary spread spectrum technology prevents detection and unauthorized access.
  • High Speed - 115.2 Kbps continuous throughput.
  • Long Range - 60+ mile line of sight range.
  • Error Free Communications - 32 bit CRC with automatic retransmission.
  • Industrial Grade Specifications - 100% tested for full performance from -40 °C - +75 °C.
Particular features of these radios:
  • Ruggedized or Waterproof enclosures
  • RS232 / RS422 or RS485 data (software selectable)
  • Ethernet (10baseT) version available
  • N-type RF connector
