Xeta4 / Xeta4B Series UHF Ethernet Radio

SKU: EX4000D, EX4040D, EX4B00D-IO, EX4B00D, EX4B4BD, EX4B00-EC Category:

Description

The Xeta4B family of radios is capable of operating in the 406-430 or 450-470 MHz licensed UHF band. XetaWave enclosed radios offer 2 Ethernet ports as well as 2 Serial ports. Modulations up to 61kbps¹ 64QAM provide some of the highest data rates available on a narrowband (12.5kHz) channel, and data rates of up to 91kbps are available with a 25kHz channel. Unique to Xetawave, radios can use multiple modulation rates to create multipoint, multispeed networks where radio links may vary in distance and signal strength, allowing for the fastest possible speeds to each radio.

Several variations are available, including the dual radio module Xeta4Bx4B, which allows for seamless repeaters, or dual independent radio networks. Board level options are also available for integration by OEMs. Enclosed radios are capable of up to 8W transmit power. A version with backward compatibility with MDS 4710 (A/B mode) is also available.

XetaWave’s 2nd generation -EL sofware platform is based on a Linux operating system, allowing for additional functionality compared to the first generation platform. VLANs, static routing, CSMA mesh mode, SNMP, and integrated advanced diagnostic and testing tools are all built into the latest platform.

¹Quoted data rates are radio level modulation rates. User data throughputs vary with application and radio settings. Contact us for more information on available application level throughputs.
