What is the 5.7 GHz Japan Robotics Band?
In Japan, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is responsible for frequency management. Their approach to implementing robotics wireless system usage is different from much of the rest of the world on several points.
First, they have a dedicated frequency range dedicated to robotic wireless systems. This goes against the grain of most other nations, who allow robotic wireless systems to operate alongside other consumer and commercial wireless devices on the ISM bands (900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands).
Second, this frequency range is highly specific at 5650 – 5755 MHz. This frequency range is wholly unique to Japan.
Third, all radios for sale in Japan must pass a stringent certification process. RF manufacturers are required to build compliant products to specifically cater to the Japanese domestic robotics market.
Doodle Labs Mesh Rider® Radio is 5.7 GHz Certified in Japan
Doodle Labs’ Mesh Rider® Radio in the mini-OEM form factor (Product: RM-5700-2LMX) has been officially approved for sale and operation in Japan after rigorous testing by DSP Research, Inc., a Japan-based registered accreditation and certification body.
The Mesh Rider® Radio series is suitable for use in drones, ground vehicles, robotics, connected teams, private wireless networking and many other applications.
Mesh Rider® Radio makes use of Mesh Rider® , a powerful, patented mobile mesh wireless broadband technology designed for mobile robotics. Its innovative waveform provides a reliable, high-throughput datalink over extremely long distances. Its built-in intelligence allows it to dynamically adapt to challenging RF scenarios while maintaining connectivity.
The Mesh Rider® Radio series is available in multiple use-case optimized form factors. Mini OEM, now available in the certified 5.7 GHz band, is a low-SWaP form factor for long-distance, high-throughput transmission. Other form factors in the series will be available in the certified 5.7 GHz band in the near future.
