The MDS x710 Series is a price and performance leader in licensed microwave radios in the 130-174 MHz, 216-220 MHz, 220-235 MHz, 330-512 MHz, and 800-960 MHz frequency ranges. They provide increased throughput and longer range for multiple address systems. Transparent and direct asynchronous communication offers real-time communication. No extra software or programming is needed to implement communications using standard asynchronous protocols. A general purpose (unconditioned) digital output is available. The MDS x710 Series is field configurable as a master station or remote radio. The MDS x710 can operate as a half-duplex or simplex radio, and supports all splits in duplex frequencies. When operating as a master station, full network diagnostics are available. Simplex mode permits peer-to-peer radio communications. This product is available for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C & D hazardous locations.

High system performance and data integrity with robust construction and digital signal processing technology (DSP) providing up to 19.2 Kbps data throughput

Quick return on investment due to ease of wireless installation. This licensed radio offers the ability to communicate with any asynchronous protocol without extra software or programming.

Exceptional design provides excellent performance in the face of interference or difficult signal paths

Network management software simplifies maintenance tasks, reduces the cost of managing the network infrastructure, and provides a non-intrusive means of maintenance and link monitoring

Operation in extreme temperatures from –30°C to 60°C CSA Class I, Div. 2 groups A, B, C, D for hazardous locations Low power consumption for solar powered applications Long range wireless communication, up to 50 miles Fully compatible with first generation MDS radios

Exclusive-use, non-shared licensed band operation in 400 MHz Point-to-multipoint 2-way communication High receive sensitivity for long distances Compatible with multiple industry protocols including Modbus and DNP3 Digital signal processing (DSP) engine Single unit configurable as master or remote radio Inter-operable “B” versions available for use with existing MDS 2000, MDS 4000 series radios

The x710 radio operates in the 200, 400 or 900 MHz licensed frequency bands.

A radio system is built with a master station and remote radios. Additionally, the use of repeater stations helps to overcome obstructions and extend coverage.

x710 radios operate on a specific frequency band, and are tuned at the factory to the ordered operational range. No field adjustments are necessary for normal operation.

Mission critical applications demand that no single point
of failure can stop the communications system. In wireless applications the master station serves as the central hub to all remote radios. The x790 Master Station with redundancy option increases the availability of a system with a hot-standby configuration. The standby radio activates automatically whenever a fault condition is detected by the active radio.

For repeater locations, the full-duplex capability of the x790 maximizes the speed of data traffic relays, for a system with better overall performance.
