Robust, reliable, and configured to support repeating ALERT2 messages
概览
The AL205R is an ALERT2 repeater/transceiver that is configured to support repeating ALERT2 messages. With two radio I/O, independent receiving and transmitting radios are supported. Three serial ports allow for input and output to several devices, including an ALERT receiver, data logger, PC, and serial server. Local and remote data collection and administration are possible through the micro USB console and Ethernet ports. The USB host port supports flash drives and peripherals to load settings and firmware, as well as to transfer log files from the SD flash drive. Either the GPS or NTP functionality can be used to provide time synchronization, and the LEDs offer status and activity indicators.
The AL205R is suitable for remote, unattended deployments. A co-located data logger can provide local meteorological measurements such as rain, wind, and barometric pressure; provide status information such as battery voltage and intrusion detection; and serve as a communication medium and/or protocol converter for links such as satellite, cellular, and SCADA.
The AL205R supports configurable forward-error-correction (FEC), allowing for the use of 250 ms TDMA time slotting for faster TDMA cycle times and larger networks. The AL205R is firmware-upgradeable, giving you the ability to take advantage of features such as ALERT2 two-way and encryption.
