DataMover SS-900 spread spectrum wireless data SCADA network radio modem by SIMREX Corporation

DataMover SS

Now available in:

902-928 MHz ISM Band
2.406-2.482 GHz ISM Band

Technical Information

The SIMREX DataMover SS-900 and SS-2.4 utilize FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) in the ISM Band of 902 – 928 MHz or 2.406-2.482 GHz to provide reliable long range data transportation at up to 115.2 kbps. The DataMover SS provides transparent data communications for nearly all SCADA/Telemetry and EFM protocols including MODBUS.

Any SIMREX DataMover SS may be configured as a repeater extension. This allows store and forward data operation to extend the operating range of the network. Mulitple repeaters may exist at any level of the network preventing a single radio failure from disabling the entire network. There is no limit to the number of repeaters which may be used.

Why consider an DataMover SS solution?

High system performance and data integrity! Robust construction, digital signal processing (DSP) technology with self-equalization, automatic CRC/ARQ and powerful forward error correction.
Flexibility and rapid installation! Quick return on investment due to plug-and-play installation. License-free radio design with the ability to communicate with any asynchronous protocol without extra software or additional programming.
Performance under the most adverse conditions! Robust design provides excellent performance in the face of interference or difficult signal paths.
Small footprint! Exceptionally small design allows installation inside RTU or PLC housing.
SIMREX network-wide diagnostics software simplifies tasks and reduces the cost of managing the network infrastructure by eliminating trips to the field. Provides a non-intrusive means of maintaining link and radio network performance.
Flexible interfaces! All DataMover SS come equipped with RS-232 for direct connection to most RTU/PLC’s and RS-485 for multidrop environments.
Low Power Consumption! Sleep mode for extremely low power consumption requirements - typically draws 3 mA - yet still recovers quickly for fast access to your critical data.
SIMREX DataMover SS is the price/performance leader; offering flexibility and reliability for both point-to-point and point-to-mulitpoint requirements.
