The RV-M9 data transceiver is a rugged MIL-STD-810 compliant ½ – 5 watt VHF or UHF data radio mode.
Use this for Data Communications or GPS Tracking in Plains, Boats, Helicopters, or whatever…
Connect DC input to power the radio. There is a TCP/IP Ethernet connector to communicate with it.
If you would prefer RS-232 serial port, Raveon could easily set that up in this product.
Interface options include Ethernet, dual serial ports and USB. It has an optional GPS for use in AVL and asset tracking applications.
Other options include tilt-sensor, and AES encryption.
If you need a 25 watt power amplifier built in, please let us know.
The enclosure is rugged and IP67 rated so it is waterproof. Protected from immersion between 15 centimeters and 1 meter in depth, limited ingress protection
Long-Range Operation
Operating in the UHF 450-470MHz frequency band, or VHF 150-174MHz frequency band, the RV-M9 radio modem works over 50 miles point-to-point and many miles with omni-directional antennas. All RV-M9 modems support store-and-forward repeating for wide-area coverage.
Raveon’s RV-M50 ISM band (915MHz) data radios can used in this also.
Rugged and Weather Proof
The RV-M9 is built to MIL810G standards, and is fully submersible for an hour at 1 meter. The M9 will work in the harshest of physical and RF environments. It is an IP67 rated radio modem.
High-Performance RF
The RV-M9 has enhanced RF performance by using Raveon’s M8 or M6 data radio module. The GFSK transmitter can operate up to 5 watts output.
High Altitude Data Radio and GPS Tracking
The waterproof enclosure is rugged and IP67 rated.
It is sealed up so Air does not go into the enclosure, even if it is very high altitude.
High Speed and High Efficiency
The RV-M9 operates with user-selectable data rates of 1200 to 2400bps and draws less than 90mA when receiving.
GPS Option
The optional internal GPS using a 12-Channel Trimble Copernicus II Chip allows the RV-M9 to be a powerful Automatic Vehicle Locating (AVL) system or Time Space Position Information (TSPI) reporting device.
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) systems such as GPS, GLONAS, GALILEO, QZSS, and SBAS can be enabled because this uses a U-Blox receiver.
Fully Programmable
The M9 is configured using industry-standard AT commands. It has an Ethernet port for simultaneous data communications using TCP/Ip sockets, and configuration via Telnet. Raveon also provides a PC program called “Radio Manager” that makes configuring the M9 a snap.
TDMA Messaging
The GPS option includes TDMA messaging, so hundreds or thousands of M9 radios can communicate with no radio interference. Track hundreds or thousands in real-time on one or more radio channels.
OTA Configuration
The ID of a particular transponder and certain system parameters such as report rate may be configured Over-The-Air, without having to physically connect to the unit.
Real-time diagnostics and statistics
Channel performance, RSSI, RF power, packet counters, and radio configuration are easily accessed via telnet, or remotely over-the-air.
Low Power Consumption
The advanced UHF transceiver is integrated with a powerful 32-bit microprocessor-based modem in one easy-to mount package. It has very low power consumption, and sleep modes that allow it to be active and consume almost no power at all.
Flexible Over-The-Air Addressing and Error Correction
The RV-M9 uses a 16 bit address with a 16 bit network mask, allowing for many devices to be co-located without receiving each other, as well as the creation of sophisticated network topologies.
