1.1 About the RadioLinx Industrial Frequency Hopping Radios
1.1.1 Product Specifications - RLX-IFH9E
The RLX-IFH9E provides powerful and secure wireless Ethernet communications
and is well suited for demanding, long-range (up to 30+ miles) SCADA and other
Ethernet applications in tough environments. Operating in the license-free 900
MHz band, the RLX-IFH9E penetrates foliage and walls / ceilings better than
higher frequency radios. The RLX-IFH9E is user configurable as a master,
repeater and remote radio and employs the 128 bit AES encryption algorithm
approved by the United States government for top secret information.
RLX-IFH9E radios are quickly and easily configured using the included, graphical
ControlScape software. An OPC server software is also included and allows
users to monitor radio network health with any OPC client based HMI software.
