RE400 Transparent Radio Modem
RE400 is the "easiest" radio modem in RACOM product range. It gets very close to being a true Plug-and-play device, as close as ever possible in private radio networks. The minimum settings necessary are all accessible from one simple web browser screen.
RE400 works as a standard IP network bridge, i.e. it is fully transparent. Every unit can serve as the central master or as a remote terminal and it can also simultaneously operate as a repeater.
The modern digital solution of the radio part (Software Defined Radio) of the RE400 radio modem allows for a wide frequency range a SW configurable channel spacing.
- 400 MHz
- 6.25, 12.5, 25 kHz
- 11 kbps / 25 kHz
- 2W
- 1x ETH, 1x RS232
- PoE or 10 – 30 V DC
- Transparent bridge
- Plug and play
Applications
- Polling type networks
- Water
- Oil & Gas
- Electricity
- Smart grid POS &ATM
- Lottery
- Weather
Fully transparent
- Standard IP network bridge functionality is implemented in the RE400 radio modem, i.e. the ETH interfaces of all the radiomodems in a network are interconnected according to bridge principles.
- When a COM interface is used, every frame received over a COM is simply broadcast to COM interfaces of all units in the network.
Easy to configure and maintain
