These modems feature market-leading receiver sensitivity down to -110dBm (market average is -93 dBm). The FCC restricts the power of all radio modems’ output, so it is receiver sensitivity that governs how well a radio modem system works. This range and reliability, at lower prices, sets these modems apart from their competition.

Packed Radios – Outdoor distance are specified using high gain antenna.
