Company Announcement - 4RF, a leading developer and manufacturer of high performance radios for critical infrastructure applications, invites ENTELEC visitors to discover the new Migration Master Station , an engineering breakthrough for overcoming legacy SCADA radio migration challenges, on stand 227 from April 7-9 2015, at the George Brown Convention Center, Houston, TX.
The MMS, 4RF’s newest breakthrough, removes the major barriers of upgrading an outdated SCADA radio network. During the transition, the MMS works alongside the legacy master station, utilizing the existing infrastructure and frequency assets, thus enabling companies to setup a high speed Aprisa SR+ radio network in parallel with the legacy network. Communications with both newly installed Aprisa SR+ and legacy remotes occur seamlessly during the replacement process. “4RF is leading the Ethernet evolution and this innovation is about to change the current market landscape. The MMS opens the way for companies to install the Aprisa SR+, giving customers up to six times faster over the air data speeds with full management and security capabilities from day one,” says J.L. Betts, 4RF Sales Director, North America and a member of the ENTELEC Technical Advisory Board. “Customers can naturally change out old or discontinued serial radios at their own pace and avoid a costly forklift project or significant network downtime.”
During ENTELEC, Mr. Betts will moderate the “SCADA Roundtable Discussion” which takes place Tuesday, April 7, 2015 at 4:00 pm in room 370C. This discussion is an unscripted session where participants can freely exchange ideas on a variety of complex and pressing topics concerning supervisory control and data acquisition. At ENTELEC, 4RF will demonstrate the next generation Aprisa SR+ radio, designed to meet demanding new traffic loads by delivering data rates of up to 60 kbit/s in a 12.5 kHz and up to 216 kbit/s in 50 kHz licensed channels. It supports both serial and IP, offers over the air software upgrade and security key changes in standard and 1+1 hot standby protected station configurations.
Also on show will be the Aprisa XE, long haul, point-to-point microwave link, available in various bands below 3 GHz as well as the SEL Mirrored Bits® over Licensed Narrowband radios with the Aprisa SR+ / FE. Visit 4RF in booth 227 at the annual Energy Telecommunications and Electrical Conference from April 7-9 2015, George R. Brown Convention Center, Houston, TX, U.S.A.
