    Mercury 3650

    Superior throughput and protection - Mercury 3650 provides up to 13 Mbps aggregate Ethernet throughput for fixed, point-to-point or point-to-multipoint deployments. Operating under Part 90 of FCC rules, the Mercury 3650 includes restricted contention-based protocol support.

     

    Mercury 900

    High speed, secure mobility - Mercury 900 is a premier mobile data solution for public safety and field force automation deployments where security, channel availability, and high throughput are required. While Mercury 900 may be deployed as fixed infrastructure, its feature set is optimized for mobility.

    Single-box Solution

    All required components, except an external antenna, are housed within a single MDS Mercury chassis. The radio, modem, interface connections, and TDD synchronization features are all part of one box. When deploying access points (i.e., base stations), no additional equipment is required for synchronizing co-located access points. For remote radios (i.e., subscriber units), no additional equipment is required for supporting Ethernet and serial connections simultaneously.
