MESH RIDER® RADIO – 902-928 MHz – DATASHEET

Mesh Rider® Radio Platform

Mesh Rider® Radio provides resilient, low latency, long-range, high-throughput links to implement industrial-grade private wireless mobile mesh Networks.

900 MHz Band

The 900 MHz band is license-free for use in many countries around the world. At lower frequencies, the radio signals can penetrate through the walls and vegetation, providing better NrLOS operation. The signals can travel further, however, the Fresnel Zone diameter is larger, requiring the antennas to be placed high to get the maximum range. The 900 MHz Mesh Rider® Radios provide 1W (30 dBm) of RF power to achieve long-range. For UAS/Drone use cases the Fresnel Zone obstruction is not an issue. The 900 MHz Smart Radio has been field proven to achieve more than 20 Km (12 miles) range while transmitting HD Video and C&C data. For Ground Robotics/Wearable use cases, 1.6 Km (1 mile) range has been field tested. The 900 MHz band provides an excellent alternative to the crowded 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band for long-range links.
