Airmux-200 Offers Cost-Effective Radio Alternative for Communication at Construction Sites, Local Authorities and Hospitals9th February 2007: RAD Data Communications has had its wireless multiplexer, the Airmux-200, approved by Ofcom. A replacement for the local loop, the Airmux-200 enables low-cost wireless connectivity without the need to pay for leased lines. Using unlicensed radio space, it has no running costs so is ideal for businesses who face spiralling communication costs. The Airmux-200 can be used in places where fixed communications equipment can get knocked out (e.g., between portacabins on construction sites) or where it can be hard to install fixed equipment such as in listed buildings. The Airmux-200 is also ideal for remote areas where network coverage is limited. Due to its easy installation the solution can be deployed as an emergency back-up in case of core communications failure. Local authorities and hospitals will benefit as they often have several buildings within a 50-mile radius, and won't be required to have expensive copper and fibre installed. Gaining Ofcom approval is the only way to make legal transmissions without facing prosecution. RAD’s customers can even register their link to reduce the risk of interference from radios using the same air space. Grant Notman, managing director, RAD Data Communications UK, says: "Ofcom's approval of our Airmux-200 signals the future for radio communications. What sets the Airmux-200 apart from other products in the industry, is that it can handle both voice and data over the same radio wave with no need for additional equipment. RAD has also taken the step of ensuring that the transmission from the Airmux-200 is encrypted to international standards to ensure data security." The Airmux-200 is a carrier-class point-to-point transmission system connecting Ethernet and E1/T1 circuits between two distant sites over wireless broadband. A Cat-5e outdoor Ethernet cable connects an indoor and outdoor unit. The outdoor unit can be ordered with an integrated antenna or with a connector for an external antenna. The set-up means that once installed any maintenance or future configuration changes can be managed from inside rather than outside a building.
