Overview

The Raven110 was an Airlink product intended for AT&T digital cellular networks. This full-duplex modem transmitted data to the local cellular tower using either a GPRS or EDGE network. The data was sent from the tower to the base station computer via the Internet. Communicating via Internet provided faster communication rates and eliminates dialing delays and long distance fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

Number of FAQs related to RAVEN110: 2

  1. No. The RF500M cannot be directly interfaced with a GPS receiver. However, most Campbell Scientific data loggers can be interfaced with the output from a GPS receiver and programmed to extract the positional information. This information can then be accessed via an RF500M/RF320 RF link.

  2. It is possible to connect two antennas to a single radio via a properly specified (operating frequency and power handling capability) two-way, 50 ohm RF power divider. One example of this type of power divider is offered by Pasternack. Note that using a device like this will induce additional losses into the system (3 to 4 dB, typically).
