Overview

Wireless wireless modems provide a quick and easy
way of connecting RS232, RS422 and RS485 serial
data networks without wires. Ideal for portable
equipment or equipment in locations where cabling
is not practical.
Depending
on the frequency, RF power, height and type of antenna
and the topology of the location, ranges of up to
20Km can be achieved using a 500mW Transmitter.
Each wireless modem can be configured as a Repeater
thereby extending radio range. If a greater range
is required, either high gain Yagi Antenna or 5W,
X8200HP can be used. Both these options will generally
require consultation with the regulating Authorities.
For
a given RF power, the wireless modem range decreases
by one upon the square of the frequency. If the
frequency doubles then the range is decreased by
one quarter. Hence the propagation at 2.4 GHz will
be 50 times less than at 400MHz.
