 TCP/IP radio modem on UHF , VHF, or ISM Band

Raveon’s RV-M55-E Ethernet interface data radio designed for telemetry, SCADA, AVL, wireless data, mobile-data and remote control applications.
Designed by Raveon for long-range reliable communication using high-performance data radio modules within the product.
The M55 can be a base station to send data over the air from an Ethernet interface. It also has an RS-485 interface on it to send data to the Ethernet, or to receive serial data from the Ethernet interface.

Is has multiple TCP/IP ports, so multiple computers can transmit and receive data using one M55 Data Radio Modem.
It is great to be able to receive data and send it out to multiple computers.

This RV-M55-E version is perfect for the SCADA industry and to communicate to the Remote Autonomous Zone Nodes RAZN.

There are many data radio modems available for use in this RV-N55-E  Ethernet Interface for Data Radios.
The miniature low-cost Daisy Radios are available in narrow-band channels (RV-M6) or license-free ISM band (RV-M50).

The Ethernet connection can connect this to your network or your server, or to an IoT cloud server if you want it to.

You can acquire this with  an RF modems inside the RV-M55-E, so this can mesh or Daisy Chain your network with long range wireless connections.

The RS-485 interface on this product can connect to SCADA RTUs to communicate via Ethernet or via wireless data modems.

The long range data radios in the RV-M55-E can communicate, monitor, and control thousands of local things, and can be passed away many miles (2-50 miles).

M55 Applications and Markets:

RV-M55-E Ethernet Wireless Data

Ethernet Link radio can link a network to remote data radios with serial ports.

SCADA Ethernet Interface Radio Modem

  • Wirelessly Connect your RTU to your network

Multiple Ethernet Connections for Wireless Data

Computers can send data to other computers over lone range wireless links using TCP/IP connections.

Because there are multiple Ports and long range data radios, computers can communicate many miles away,
and it is possible to use thousands of M55-E Ethernet radios so thousands of networks or computers can communicate.
Communications can be  setup in GROUPs so a radio or computer can talk to a group.

The RV-M55-E has an Ethernet TCP/IP interface. One terminal will send the data over the air using the radio modem inside the RV-M55-E.

The other Ethernet Terminal can communicate with the RS-485 serial port interface on the RV-M55-E.

 TCP/IP radio modem on UHF

The RV_M55-E6-U runs on the UHF band 450-470MHz.  It utilizes the RV-M6 data radio with up to 2 watts RF power output.

Power can be adjusted, and many other bands are available.

 TCP/IP radio modem on VHF

The RV_M55-E6-V runs on the VHF band 150-175 MHz.  It utilizes the RV-M6 data radio with up to 2 watts RF power output.

Power can be adjusted, and many other bands are available.  For higher power, the M8 modem can output 5 watts in this product.
