Unique Features
The Safari Network has many unique features to meet
mobile communication needs:
Simultaneous Services
The Safari Network simultaneously supports multiple
communication services, enabling network
administrators to offer users a large array of
communication alternatives. It can be customized
according to user’s needs to provide a mix of point-
to-point, broadcast, multipoint-to-multipoint, and
Ethernet LAN services. The Safari Network can also be
configured to simultaneously support both circuit
switched and packet switched data, thereby allowing
users to give priority to latency-sensitive traffic such as
voice, video and streaming data, while also
supporting traditional LAN traffic such as file sharing,
email and web browsing.
Multiple Data Rate Selection
System data rates of 512kbs, 240kbs, and 96kbs can
be chosen. This allows the flexibility of choosing a
data rate specifically for the projects’ distance or
throughput requirements. A lower data rate transmits
a farther distance, but yields less Forward/Return
bandwidth availability for the network. A higher data
rate transmits a shorter distance, but yields higher
bandwidth availability for the network.
Multiple Connectivity Options
Multiple ports are provided on each RU to conduct
concurrent sessions of dissimilar services. Port &
Protocol options for the SAFARI NETWORK are
RS232/Async, RS422/Async, RS422/HDLC High Level
Data Link Control, and 10BaseT/Ethernet. These user
interfaces, combined with a powerful onboard
microprocessor and user-selectable data rates, allow
