FGR-115RC

Freewave 900-MHz, 1-W Spread Spectrum Radio

Retired Product
(not available for purchase)

The FGR-115RC is a 1 Watt Spread Spectrum Radio that operates in the 902-928 MHz frequency range. The FGR-115RC spreads the normally narrowband information signal over a relatively wide band of 900 MHz frequencies. This allows the communications to be more immune to noise and interference from RF sources such as pagers and cellular phones.

The FGR-115RC radio reduces susceptibility to RF interference from other spread spectrum devices by providing user-selectable frequency hopping patterns. The FGR-115RC radio provides general purpose wireless data communications, and supports point-to-point and point-to-multipoint datalogger communications. It can serve as a field modem/radio while connected to the datalogger, a stand-alone repeater, or as a base station modem/radio when connected to a computer.
