TranSphere
The TS Wireless system is an easy-to-install wireless solution supporting long-range serial
and Ethernet data transmission at speeds up to 106 kbps. The system includes an Access
Point (AP) transceiver and a Remote transceiver capable of serial and Ethernet
communication. These radios serve a variety of network configurations.
Robust Radio Operation TranSphere TS Wireless transceivers use an advanced
Media Access Controller (MAC) to ensure network access for stations with data to send. The
MAC permits data to be sent from endpoint devices on an on-demand basis, preventing over-
the-air data collisions and ensuring that data gets through as intended. MAC functionality
eliminates the need for active polling of Remotes, a key requirement in Report-by-Exception
(RBE) applications.
Rugged Packaging TranSphere TS Wireless radios are housed in compact and rugged die-
cast cases that need only be protected from direct exposure to the weather. The transceivers
are supplied with flat surface-mounting brackets or optional 35mm DIN rail brackets,
depending on customer requirements.
