FreeWave radio modems? — declared parent_msg_num=(none), resolved parent_id points to #(none)
I've been looking at the spec sheets for a radio modem from a company called
FreeWave Technologies at (303) 444-3862. It's a wireless, frequency-hopping,
spread-spectrum 900 Mhz modem that delivers 115.2 kbps uncompressed throughput
from modem to modem. Each modem has a unique serial number, and they are
addressable as well as multi-cast-able.
They claim distances of up to 20 miles "line of sight", but I'd love to
determine what that really means before a dump $2,500 on a pair of these.
The basic unit is smaller than a disk drive and includes a rubber-duckie
antenna. Optional external antennas are possible, including a $100 12-db gain
directional Yagi.
Anyone out there with experience with these modems? I've only been getting
Network Computing for a few months, so I don't know if they've been covered
recently.
