Support and Expand Your Existing Network

Extend your geographic footprint and reach of your radio system with the Eclipse

HX Digital Matrix, designed to support the distribution of audio and data signals

to thousands of users on a statewide or extended regional radio system.

Mobility via Smartphone & Tablet

The Agent IC mobile intercom panel application allows users with iOS

smartphones and tablets (Android coming soon) such as agency and department

heads and other key personnel that may not be available locally, to securely ac-

cess the full capabilities of the Eclipse HX via 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi/IP networks.

When multiple agencies are operating at an incident or disaster, emergency

departments heads may need to bring in key individuals who cannot be

physically present or are in otherwise inaccessible locations or out of radio

coverage. While accessibility features are controlled by the host, the AGENT-IC

user has the capability for point-to-point, point-to-multipoint calling, push-to-

talk, and can receive notifications. The simple menu-driven user interface can

be added to the network in case of a critical incident without extensive training.

Microwave Networks Mission Critical Microwave Networks provides the most reliable and flexible microwave radios in the industry. These highly relia-

ble software defined radios offer the ability to transport both native IP and native TDM traffic and are perfect for

any infrastructure, last-mile, or access application. Provides full range of licensed and unlicensed radios

from 900 MHz to 80 GHz.

Successful networks depend on each individual piece working reliably and seamlessly with every other part of

the network. The same is true for your wireless infrastructure or access system. With our family of Integrated

Microwave Solutions , our radios provide a complete line of advanced, cost-effective, and reliable products that

work together to solve your complete communication system’s needs.

In addition to the standard Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) technology, all of our radio platforms offer

customer interfaces for IP and data transport. This unique combination offers network operators the ability to

leverage their current network infrastructure and provide an efficient evolution to their next generation net-

works. As voice and data traffic grow within the networks, PDH systems can be supplemented with Synchronous

Digital Hierarchy (SDH) platforms to carry data as high as 311 Mbps.

With over 40 years in the microwave radio business, (formerly Motorola Microwave) we are dedicated to produc-

ing products and services that meet new and emerging market requirements as well as traditional, established

microwave radio applications. Microwave Networks Offers Full Turnkey Solutions and Maintenance

Telewave Transmitter Combiners Combine your strengths and save valuable tower space!

Telewave transmitter combiners save valuable tower

space and eliminate interference with proven technology.

As many as 14 transmitters can share the same antenna

system, and dual band configurations such as 700/800

MHz can be provided. Hybrid combining techniques

allow very close channel spacing, even adjacent

channels if required.

Telewave combiners are custom-built on any frequency

between 30 MHz and 960 MHz, and are compatible with

any narrow or wideband, analog or digital air interface

including P25 Phase I and II. Duplexers, receiver

mulitcouplers, preselectors and power monitors can all

share the same rack.

Raven Electronics new RVI-600 Voter

Raven Voter | IP Configurable | 6-Site

Raven Electronics’ 6-Site Voter is a pre-configured powerhouse that allows for easy set-up, configuration, and

expansion. The RVI-600 with M4x Technology, is the most flexible and cost effective voting system on the

market and features:

• IP site-monitoring and control from remote locations

• Event-driven, intuitive software

• Full-featured reporting capabilities

Fully expandable.

1RU rack-mountable design. Units can be daisy-chained. www.ravencomm.com

Subscriber radios that are dispersed in the field in a specific area of coverage are back-hauled to a central

location via a Raven IP Gateway, microwave, leased lines, or point-to-point receivers. The RVI-600 Voter resides

at the central site and does the following:

• Monitors multiple remote receivers

• Votes the best audio

• Passes it to one or more end-points as (consoles, dispatchers, or repeater/ transmitters)

Most receivers are configured for S-TAC operation, providing either 2175 Hz or 1950 Hz status tone to the voter

to indicate the squelched condition. If a receiver does not have the capability for S-TAC operation, then squelch

conditions can be triggered by COR or VOX. Additionally, outlying M4x equipment can be utilized as status tone

(or “pilot tone”) generators themselves.

Freedom CTE announces new R8100 RF Test Here are the key distinguishing features of the R8100:

An internal, field replaceable battery that will operate the unit for approximately 90 minutes. It will slide easily

into the side of the unit for quick replacement in the field. Battery can be charged in the unit.

The display will be a modified, high contrast offering that makes better use of the color palate and uses larger

fonts for key measurement readings.

MIL-PRF-28800F Class 3 shock and vibration rating

The tuning knob doubles as a data entry device. That is, as with

the old Agilent model 8920 - you will be able to press it to "enter"

Softkeys will be available in French, Spanish and German

Power Meter Bar Graph will have a selectable

scale: 5/10/50/150W maximum

The unit will have a headphone jack for use in high noise envi-

ronments. Weighs less than 14 lbs.

EVERY unit will include a tracking generator, cable fault locator and enhanced spectrum
