Viper SC™
IP Router for Licensed Spectrum

 
136-174 MHZ | 215-240 MHZ | 406-512 MHZ | 928-960 MHZ
       
Versatile, Secure Communications with MultiSpeed Functionality

This robust communications link for VHF, UHF & MAS licensed networks features an internal web browser with a familiar interface for IT and network administrators to set up and view device information, configure newtwork parameters and deploy unit upgrades from any location. Using a Software Defined Radio, Viper SC is programmable for 50, 25, 12.5 or 6.25 kHz channels.

Each Viper SC features single device store and forward and route redundancy for extended range and easy newtwork expansion. With advanced diagnostic capabilities, over the air firmware upgrades, channel migration and RoHS compliance, you can bet your investment today is protected well into the future.

MultiSpeed operation allows each remote Viper SC to communicate to a Viper SC Base Station at the fastest speed suported by a given signal strength. MultiSpeed operation results in an adaptive network which is optimized for performance and reliability.
