RV-M6 Daisy Radio
Raveon’s RV-M6 Daisy Radios are our smallest ultra-low-cost wireless solution for daisy chaining all your large scale operations using narrow-band VHF or UHF radio channels. This radio is perfect for tracking any number of items over as many locations as you can imagine, making it perfect for you to connect to the internet of things. The Daisy radio is our smallest model yet, making it perfect for daisy chaining your system together across any and all locations. It also integrates flawlessly with your current Raveon M7, or M8 systems, so using it to improve your current solutions or expand operations is quick and easy.
Daisy Radio modules can be incorporated into your products, giving them miles of wireless communication capability. The Daisy Radio modules use the same UWARC universal wireless interface, so you can design all Daisy Radio modems or our M8 series radios into your products, and just plug in the one you actually want to use.
The Daisy Radio modules are available in our M22 Tech Series enclosures. The M22 enclosures have a myriad of IO options and features.
The RV-M6 Daisy Radios over the air packet transmission communication technology, with encryption options. They work excellent for data communications or GPS tracking and perfect for daisy-chaining your network. Daisy Radios can pass along data over many miles, with very low power consumption, low RF power, and small antennas. An their low cost high performance help make you systems more economical. They can operate on 6.25kHz, 12.5kHz, and 25kHz wide narrow-band radio channels.
This is an FCC certified narrow-band data radio. You must have an FCC license to use a data radio like this on a radio frequency. The MURS band version RV-M8S-VM operates on license-free MURS band radio channels.
If you need an Ultra-Low Cost narrow band radio modem, with lower RF power. Check out our RV-M35 OEM version of this M6 radio. It has the same features, but 10-100mW RF output, and super low cost to incorporate into your products.
Daisy Tech Series
Our Daisy modems are used within the M22 Tech Series enclosure. The Tech Series is designed to be universal for use with any of our modems, and works especially well with the Daisy systems. The Tech Series unique design allows for interchangeable front I/O panels, so you can connect to your system in a myriad of differing ways. One other new feature is our more rugged power connector, designed to stay connected through even more extreme conditions. IO options are RS-232, RS-485, RS-422, USB, GPIO, and Flexible IO.
