E Series: EB45e Ethernet Base Station

Overview

The Trio EB45e is an advanced Full Duplex Ethernet capable Base/Repeater Station for the most complex and demanding Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint (Multiple Address Radio) SCADA and telemetry systems.

Base stations and repeaters are key elements in data radio communication systems and are subject to heavy duty cycle operation. The EB450 has been specially designed to deliver highly reliable, continuous full duplex operation at maximum rated (5W) or (20W) output power. Trio can also supply the EH45e 1+1 Ethernet Base/Repeater station when Hot Standby redundancy is required.

The EB45e is fully capable of reliable 100% duty cycle operation in ambient temperatures up to +60°C and may be user configured for operation in either E Series or M Series modes.
