Electronic Systems Technology’s (News - Alert) ESTeem wireless modems have acquired type acceptance in Canada and from the U.S. federal communications commission (FCC) for the new licensed narrow band wireless modem, the Model 210M.

T.L. Kirchner, president of Electronic Systems Technology, said, “The ESTeem 210M incorporates the self-healing MESH Network capabilities and Ethernet/IP interfacing previously unavailable in the narrow band licensed radios.”

The Model 210M internal digi-repeating allows the deployment of large wireless networks covering geographical areas of 10+ miles with 2-10 Watts of RF power. It is expected that this product will enhance the performance and enable Ethernet/IP interfacing to water/waste water, oil/gas and utility sites.

In addition to making them compliant with the new FCC (News - Alert) licensing regulations, the MESH Network will also allow mobile clients to roam seamlessly under the wireless canopy.

The ESTeem 210M has been specially designed to suit applications related to industrial, public safety, and federal markets that operate in the 150 to 174 MHz frequency range with both Ethernet/IP and Serial/DF1 interfaces.

Officials explained that the 210M leverages selectable quadrature amplitude modulation features which allow data rates up to 64.8 Kbps in the narrow band channels.

The Model 210M features high security 128-bit AES-CCMP encryption and is suitable for municipal, public safety and federal applications. Standard simple network management protocol (SNMP) also allows critical diagnostics and network management.

The network functionality features of the Model 210M supports VLAN pass through and IGMP Snooping. The modem supports multiple modes of operation as a repeater or client via programmable selection capabilities.

In December 2012, ESTeem Wireless Modems’ Model 210C licensed narrow band wireless modem, prior to the 210M, was granted type acceptance in Canada and by the FCC. The ESTeem 210C was designed for the industrial, public safety, and federal markets operating in the 450 to 470 MHz frequency range with both Ethernet/IP and Serial/DF1 interfaces. Using selectable quadrature amplitude modulation, the 210C allowed for data rates up to 54 Kbps in the narrow band channels.
