Low End Enterprise Router

Low Cost 4-port Router.  A low end enterprise router, suitable for core functions in a small to medium sized ISP, and certainly more than adequate for any edge routing function at any client site on a WAN.  Supports MOST known protocols, has EVERYTHING you need in a router.

Licensed Frequency Radios

A:  The Morse MRxxx series radios operate on licensed VHF and UHF frequencies within 135MHz - 870MHz.  They are radio routers with high-end intelligence, suitable for point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-multipoint and mobile data networks.  Data rate is upto 200kbps over a coverage range of upto 150km with non-line-of-sight capability within 30kms.  Thousands of modems installed in over 50 countries on all continents for:

• Transaction networks – point of sale payment systems (ATM, credit/debit cards), lottery systems.

• Telemetry & SCADA - water, gas & power supply monitoring, crude oil production, coal mining, etc.

• Mobile networks - monitoring and management of city transport vehicles, taxis, rescue service vehicles, trains, ships, etc.

• Security & Surveillance.

• IP networks – backbone networks in inaccessible areas, last mile of fast connections.

• Internet access – for underserved communities lacking developed infrastructure

B:  The Morse RExxx radio is a Software Defined Radio with a wide tuning range, programmable channel spacing, fully transparent protocol and configurable over the Internet.  The RExxx series is a modern digital solution of the radio part of the radio modem.  Performance and characteristics are similar to their MRxxx cousins, and operate on VHF frequencies in the 135MHz - 470MHz range.  Unlike the MRxxx, they are primarily designed for smaller networks and applications in which security of transmission and access to the radio channel are resolved within the application.

C:  The Morse Blink Microwave radio series operate on licensed microwave frequencies in the 4GHz - 12GHz range.  These are line of sight radios with a range upto 50km.  Data rate is in multiples of 8mbps upto 100mbps full duplex.  Some channels may be allocated to provide dedicated G.703 E1 channels.
