K Series: KR240 Advanced Spread Spectrum Industrial Data Radio

Features

The Trio KR240 combines class leading performance with unprecedented flexibility to allow cost effective implementation of even the most complex wireless SCADA and Telemetry solutions that may not have otherwise been achievable, and with unlimited expansion capability.

Some of the many outstanding features which make the KR240 so unique.

Outstanding and highly versatile operational capability

• Point to point and point to multi-point operation
• Configurable personality – master-remote-bridge-repeater
• KwikStream™ high speed single radio repeater mode *
• Unlimited coverage networks
• No restriction on the number of radios in any system
• Unique dual antenna LinkXtend™ technology increases usable range
• Repeater and Bridge units support locally connected user devices
• ChannelShare™ collision avoidance for unsolicited remote transmissions allowing simultaneous polling and spontaneous reporting

* Up to 100km (60 miles) single repeater system range with 13dB antennas

A Radio and Modem that extend performance boundaries

• License free operation in 2.4GHz ISM frequency bands
• 256k high speed over-air data rate (can be reduced to 128k, 64k or 32k for longer range)
• Robust, frequency hopping spread spectrum technology for superior interference immunity
• Ultra Long Range high performance receiver *
• 0.5 Watt (+27dBm) maximum allowable transmitter power
• Advanced error free data delivery with CRC plus selectable FEC and ARQ
• Multiple security layers including 256-bit AES data encryption (export restrictions may apply)
• Multi-Master synchronization mode for interference reduction with co-located master radios
• High VSWR protection

* Up to 50km (30 miles) maximum single hop line-of-sight range with 13dB antennas

Comprehensive and adaptable User Data interfacing, control and transmission

• Dual independent user configurable data ports
• Separate on-line system port avoids the need to interrupt user data for configuration access
  
• Selectable 300-230 k bps asynchronous RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces
  
• User selectable hardware handshaking or 3 wire data port interface
  
• Suitable for most industry standard data protocols. e.g.: MODBUS, DNP-3, IEC 870-5-101, etc.
  
• Multistream™ simultaneous data stream delivery allows for multiple vendor devices/protocols to be transported on the one radio network - compatible with Trio E Series and M Series
  
• Flexible data stream routing providing optimum radio channel efficiency
