FreeWave Technologies' New LRS455 Licensed Radio Offers Improved Transmission
Performance in Rough Terrain
Licensed radio for North America offers greater distance, lower power
consumption so customers can acquire critical data in difficult terrain
BOULDER, Colo., June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- FreeWave Technologies,
(http://www.freewave.com), manufacturer of the most reliable, high-performance
spread spectrum and licensed radios for critical data transmission, today
announced the availability of the LRS455. The newest licensed radio from
FreeWave offers the lowest power consumption, transmission range and receiver
sensitivity available in the market. Due to superior RF propagation
characteristics (430-470 MHz at 2 watts), the LRS455 is ideal for rugged and
heavily treed terrain applications in oil and gas, water/wastewater, electric
and municipality markets.
"Customers increasingly need to access critical data from difficult terrains,
and the board level and enclosed LRS455 radios provide outstanding performance
and versatility to meet this growing demand," said Ken Granader, vice
president of sales at FreeWave. "As always, this latest offering blends the
highest level of field performance with the lowest power consumption to help
customers incorporate wireless communications into a wider variety of
applications."
The LRS455 complements FreeWave's industry leading licensed radios, the
LRS-760 and LRS-140. It offers a faster data rate and more noise immunity than
competitors' offerings and is perfectly suited for long-distance SCADA
applications located within rough terrain or heavy tree coverage. The
propagation characteristics at 430-470 MHz at 2 watts are significantly better
than higher frequencies at 1 watt, making the LRS455 radio ideal for areas
with heavy interference. Field tests also show that the LRS455 performs at a
four- to five-times greater range than competitive offerings.
The LRS455 provides advanced system and network management capabilities
through the recently introduced FreeWave Tool Suite, an integrated software
platform for all aspects of radio and network configuration and diagnostics.
Some of the key technical specs of the LRS455 include:
-- Customizable to user needs - users can select whatever range they wish
across the 435-470 MHz spectrum.
-- High Speed -19200 bps throughput on a 12.5 kHz channel.
-- Long Range - 70 mile range with clear line of sight and the ability to
extend through a repeater.
-- High Noise Immunity - Superior performance in noise-congested
environments.
The LRS455 is available for immediate shipment and is available in board level
or enclosed formats. Additional information, including detailed
specifications, is available online at http://www.freewave.com/LRS455 or by
