MESH RIDER® RADIO – Helix (M1-M6) 1625-2510 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.

Helix: Federal M1-M6 Bands, 1625-2510 MHz Band

Our Helix Mesh Rider® Radios operates on six bands (M1-M6) within 1625-2510 MHz, which provides global coverage so systems can be deployed without requiring multiple SKUs. This frequency range removes a large operational complexity for government customers who have deployments around the world. Moreover, license free 2.4 GHz band is also covered to further increase the global coverage. Helix Mesh Rider® Radio J/F-12 certification #13258
