Wireless IP/Ethernet Connectivity

The MDS iNET 900^TM is a long range, high speed, industrial wireless IP/Ethernet solution. It allows customers to bring business information over Ethernet or a serial gateway and onto networks. This includes mission-critical, revenue-generating data from fixed assets such as oil and gas wells, compressor stations, pipelines, fluid storage tanks and utility meters. It also enables portable network access for vehicle based operation. MDS iNET 900 ^TM is available in four configurations:

• Access Point/Remote Dual Gateway, provides both serial and Ethernet connections, and is configurable by the customer as either an access point or a dual gateway.
• Remote Serial Gateway, provides two serial ports with data encapsulation over UDP or TCP.
• Remote Ethernet Bridge, provides Ethernet connectivity to multiple devices.
• P21 Protected Network Station Option.

Any one of the above units can be ordered with two radios in one chassis in a cold standby configsuration. MDS iNET 900 ^TM uses advanced 900 MHz FHSS technology for license-free operation in the 902-928 MHz ISM band. It is capable of up to 60 mile range (line-of-sight)² and up to 512 kbps over-the-air data rate communications. This product is available for use in Class 1, Division 2, Groups A, B, C & D hazerdous locations.¹

Why use an MDS iNET 900 wireless networking solution?

Longest range industrial product in its class. Providing lowest cost of ownership.

Reliable. A protected Access Point (P21) provides the high system availability required for mission-critical applications. Remote stations can also be protected for point-to- point links.

Secure wireless operation with multiple layers of protection, including 900 MHz FHSS physical layer and 128-bit data encryption.

Flexible. The MDS iNET 900 supports multiple users connecting to multiple applications via multiple protocols on the same MDS iNET 900 or the same network - simultaneously!

Future proof. We use open standards architecture design, and upgradeable firmware to ensure customer investment protection over the long-term.

Comprehensive mangement. Compatible with MDS NETview MS^TM for remote management. MDS NETview MS^TM Network Management System is based on a platform independent Java application. It is application independent with a centralized SNMP server and integrates with multiple vendor platforms.
