GE MDS ORBIT MCR User Manual

MDS 05-6632A01, Rev. F MDS Orbit MCR/ECR Technical Manual 21
 Single unit AP, Remote, or Store and Forward
 Patent pending extremely low latency and robust proprietary Media Access Control specifically
designed for 900 MHz communications
 High Reliability
- Error detection and re-transmit on error for Unicast traffic
- Repeat support for Multicast/Broadcast traffic
- Interference avoidance will not carelessly send data if a particular frequency cannot support
communications because of interference. Communications deferred until frequency becomes
available or network moves to a new frequency
 Ability to skip frequency zones, useful for persistent interferes or co-located networks
 Fragmentation support to minimize on-air time in noisy environments
 Ad-hoc network discovery with multiple synchronization methods
 Fast mode for minimizing synchronization times
 Auto mode for discovering network modulation and optimal paths based on statistical analysis of the
network
 Store and Forward
- Supports up to 8-hops SAF level depth.
- Supports multiple SAFs on any level.
- Automatically adjusts Media Access scheme for SAF network to support simultaneous
communications at alternating levels and minimize latency, using dynamic fragmentation.
- Supports dynamic and static paths providing flexibility in designing the wireless network.
 Quality of Service (QoS)
- Priority Queues
- Source/Destination port and addresses
- Protocol (UDP, TCP, etc.)
Licensed Narrowband 2.3.6
Licensed Narrowband operation is provided by the LN series NIC modules. Licensed Narrowband
modules provide robust long-distance communication in channel bandwidth sizes of 6.25KHz, 12.5KHz,
and 25KHz using QAM technology. Depending on bandwidth, raw data rates range from 20kbps to
120kbps. LN modules provide long-distance communications suitable to interface both Ethernet and
Serial controllers such as PLCs, RTUs and SCADA systems.
Key Benefits
 Bi-Directional Adaptive QAM Modulation (QPSK, 16QAM, 64QSM)
 Up to 50 miles LOS (Line of Sight)
 Single unit AP or Remote
 Low latency and robust proprietary Media Access Control specifically designed narrowband
communications
 High Reliability
- Error detection and re-transmit on error for Unicast traffic
- Multiple Forward Error Correction (FEC) modes including adaptive FEC
