High Power for Maximum Range and Penetration
SATELLINE Epic-Pro 35W is the ruggedized IP67 (NEMA 6)
EPIC-Pro UHF radio modem with a souped up 35 W transmitter designed
for easy mobile use in demanding field conditions.
The casing and connectors of the EPIC-Pro are waterproof
and secured against dust according to stringent IP67
standards.
Ruggedized & Waterproof for Outdoor Extremes
Reinforced
design, watertight seals and connectors, and an expanded
temperature range are the defining elements of SATELLINE
Pro Series radio modems.
Morse Code
Call Sign Enhanced
for mobile use, EPIC-Pro transmits Morse code FCC call
signs at regular intervals.
Programmable Channel List
Click
through available channels with the press of a couple buttons
or automatically scan for the best frequency with channels
lists that can be factory programmed or set up in advance
with an intuitive software interface.
Simple to Use
Fully
equipped with a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and a keypad,
settings of the EPIC-Pro can be changed in an instant without
any additional hardware and the easy to read display provides
current received signal strength (RSSI), channel/ frequency
and power supply voltage to monitor battery or solar power
levels.
Dual Band
Built in Dual Band versatility offers
two, fully adjustable 2 MHz frequency bands tuned at the
factory up to 15 MHz apart from the highest to the lowest
frequency. The radio modem can be reprogrammed to operate
at any channel within those two bands or to send on one
channel and receive on another.
Precision Tuned Receiver
Set apart from similar products by our proprietary board
design, and specialized industrial class superheterodyne
receiver; SATEL’s exclusive SATELLINE technology
enables dependable UHF communication in extreme conditions
when similar products fail.
Using a finely tuned narrow
(2 MHz) receiver range and then physically cancelling out
the remaining electromagnetic noise on both sides of the
selected channel, connections can be kept alive even if
received signals drop as low as -115 dBm!
Selectivity or
Sensitivity as Needed
Capable of communicating even in
environments with sporadic 12 dB weaker interference on
the exact same frequency, SATELLINE UHF radio modems have
adjustable signal threshold to focus only on selected stronger
signals enhancing operation in densely populated areas
and regions with excessive ambient radio frequency noise.
Forward Error Correction
Encapsulating device data packets
network wide with self-correcting algorithmic data, FEC,
gives SATELLINE radio modems the internal tools to actually
eliminate erroneous bits and reconstruct the original data
packet when there are slight errors from long distances
or heavy interference.
Error Check
When data quality is
essential, SATELLINE radio modems come with SATEL’s
proprietary Error Check and full CRC16 error checking which
can be set to either completely reject any data packet
with errors transparently, or pass the packet and checksum
intact to a device master.
Free Channel Scan
Continuing
to research ways to reduce and eliminate difficulties that
plague many wireless installations, SATEL’s exclusive
Free Channel Scan (FCS) feature is a powerful multipurpose
tool for shared channels, frequency pools, mobile and temporary
networks, or to add versatility to one-way transmission
between a transmitter and one or more receivers when there
are multiple frequencies available.
In two-way data networks
sharing a set of frequencies or in mobile applications
when a clear channel must be established before use, a
channel list is entered into the free FCS graphic interface
software turning SATELLINE radio modems into a simplified
spectrum analyzer monitoring and displaying the noise level
for each frequency allowing the user to select the optimum
channel.
In one-way data transmission networks, FCS automates
the use SATELLINE modems. While transmitting, the base
station and repeater radios automatically listen for channel
disturbances, change to, and transmit on the best available
frequency; while synchronized remote receivers scan all
available channels for a base station transmission beacon
anytime a connection is lost because of interruptions on
shared channels, movement of other users in a frequency
pool, or to move from one data transmitter to another.
FCS software and the User Guide are available for free
download.
LED Indicators
There are 5 clearly marked and
intuitively colored LEDs that show the current status of
the SATELLINE modem. There are indicators for the data
modem sending and receiving to the device; radio transmitter
and receiver activities; and radio frequency channel status-
including if it is in use by an unknown party.
Display & Operator Interface
Crowning SATELLINE advanced technology is the
built-in backlit LCD display that provides users with vital
diagnostic information about received signal strength,
frequency, power supply and data settings at a glance.
Durable pushbuttons give instant access to virtually all
of the radio settings through easy to read menu selections.
SATELLINE “D” display models allow for setting
up, using, configuration changes, and testing to all be
done without ever using a laptop, PC or any other device.
Simple & Accessible Programming
Mechanically switched
into programming mode by grounding the “Programming-Pin”,
all of the radio settings are accessible using any terminal
software. Self-guiding menus clearly display settings and
selectable options in plain English. SATEL’s SaTerm
software simplifies advanced configuration by providing
an additional graphic interface for some of the more complex
aspects like message routing, creating settings profiles,
and updating firmware.
Transparent Wireless Communication
Eliminating complicated external synchronizing signals
by using asynchronous data streams, the entire data stream
is transmitted less than 1 millisecond after it is received
arriving at the other end intact and without interruption
or re-packetizing and allowing for the highest level of
transparency to connected devices.
Test Mode
Cutting down
on installation and repair times, SATELLINE radio modems
feature short and long block testing to simplify antenna
testing and alignment, link, system and path tests. When
combined with the benefits of conveniently displayed signal
strength on the receiving modem, antenna installation times
are reduced to a minimum.
Repeater Functionality
All SATEL
radio modems are capable of store-and-forward repeater
functions or may be paired together for duplex repeater
operation. Repeater functionality allows for virtually
endless connection range and network coverage. Message
routing and addressing functions can be added to create
robust and far-reaching network topologies.
Advanced Addressing Functions
Configurable with dual transmission and receive
addressing and network identification, SATELLINE radio
modems can remain transparent and universally compatible
with devices while still extending networks across longer
distances through one or more repeaters or to isolate multiple
sub-networks without receiving duplicated or conflicting
device data.
Automatic Message Routing
By identifying source
and destination addresses for data in many pre-configured
or user defined polling data protocols, SATELLINE radio
modems automatically direct data packets to their destination
by finding the route within the radio network itself transparently
to connected devices.
Routes are automatically created
if a remote location is moved, a repeater station is lost,
or in systems with mobile remote devices. The AMR function
is configured using SATEL’s free SaTerm PC software.
SaTerm allows users to able to graphically design
a radio modem network, troubleshoot, and make radio modem
firmware updates by simply drawing connections between
radio modems, while routing information is automatically
generated.
SL-Commands
Advanced control and diagnostics
are available from all SATEL radio modems using SATEL Language
(SL) Commands. Experienced users and manufacturers with
integrated SATEL solutions can utilize “SL-Command” blocks
to interact directly with all SATELLINE radio modems.
Flexible Data Interface
Capable of operating on as little as 3-wire
(Tx, Rx, & ground) communication or as much as 25-pin
rs-232 with full hardware handshaking.
