Ondas Networks FullMAX™ Radios
Scalable, Reliable Wireless Solutions for Mission-Critical IoT
Ondas Networks FullMAX™ family of Software Defined Radios (SDR) are designed to specifically for Mission Critical IoT (MC-IoT) applications. Our SDR technology supports IEEE 802.16t (commonly known as "dot16") the new worldwide standard for private licensed wide area industrial networks. Our radios enable wide-area intelligent networks (WANs) for railroads, smart grids, smart pipes, smart fields and any other mission critical networks that need internet protocol connectivity over narrowband channels.
Ondas Networks' customers use our SDR technology to deploy their own highly available, private wireless network over narrowband channels. These mission-critical applications have extremely demanding requirements which include the highest levels of network availability, reliability, and security. Our IEEE 802.16t compliant equipment optimizes performance across a wide range for spectrum from 40 MHz up to 6 GHz and various data throughput requirements.
Mercury
Ultra-Compact,
Low-Cost Remote Radio
The Mercury is a compact, low-cost remote radio designed for fixed and mobile endpoints in mission-critical environments, particularly in industries like railroads. Mercury connects seamlessly to Airlink Venus and NG-BCP base station radios, utilizing narrow channel sizes to provide efficient wireless data communication.
Mercury is a foundational component in Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) systems, catering to low-throughput endpoints and operating with minimal power consumption. With superior receiver sensitivity and the ability to transmit on narrow channels as low as 1 kHz, Mercury ensures optimal range even in challenging RF environments, making it ideal for remote locations. It supports a broad spectrum of frequencies up to 1 GHz, providing long-range capabilities using low power sources like batteries or solar power.
Mercury serves Mission Critical IoT (MC-IoT) applications at a large scale, with hundreds of devices or sensors connected to a single base station, ensuring high network reliability across large geographic areas.
Venus
Versatile Radio
with Edge Computing Power
The Venus radio is a versatile, software-defined solution that can operate as both a base station and remote endpoint, offering edge computing capabilities. Whether deployed as a base station or connected to either a Mars or Venus base station, Venus excels in providing both high throughput and extended range compared to Mercury.
Venus supports frequency ranges from 40 MHz to 6 GHz, with channel sizes ranging from 12.5 kHz to 10 MHz. With a transmit power of up to 4 Watts and receiver sensitivity as low as -126 dBm, Venus ensures high-quality communication even in demanding environments. As a powerful edge device, Venus is capable of running embedded Docker containers for custom applications, enhancing system performance and minimizing RF spectrum demand by allowing data to be analyzed at the network edge.
With non-line-of-sight connectivity up to 30+ miles, Venus is designed to support medium to high throughput MC-IoT endpoints, while working in parallel with Mercury and Neptune radios for diverse network scalability.
Mars
High-Performance,
High-Power Base Station
The Mars is a high-performance base station offering dual-mode operation, supporting both narrow and wide channels for maximum scalability in Point-to-Multipoint networks. Mars operates across frequency bands from 70 MHz to 6 GHz, offering up to 100 Watts of transmit power with exceptional receiver sensitivity. It ensures flexible RF coverage, enabling seamless migration from legacy systems like ATCS to IP-based networks for rail applications.
Mars supports dual-mode operations, including HD-FDD and TDD modes on the AAR A Block (2 x 125 kHz subchannels), as well as legacy 12.5 kHz ATCS bands. It can handle both narrow and wide channel remote radio communication, enabling operators to scale data rates based on the specific needs of each endpoint. Mars supports large-scale networks with Neptune, Venus, and Mercury radios while offering robust processing power for mission-critical applications.
Mars plays a pivotal role in rail applications, providing long-range capabilities and high throughput, especially when paired with Neptune, Venus, and Mercury radios.
Neptune
Compact, High Power Radio for Long Range Communication
The versatile Neptune is a high-power, compact radio which operates as a base station, fixed remote, or mobile radio in an 802.16t network. With a transmit power up to 25 Watts (44 dBm) at the antenna port with a 50% duty cycle, Neptune is designed for long distance communications with assets located at the furthest edges of base station coverage. This makes Neptune an ideal solution for locations where no cellular coverage exists.
Neptune supports frequency ranges from 40 MHz to 6 GHz, with channel sizes ranging from 12.5 kHz to 10 MHz. Capable of operating as either an IEEE 802.16t base station or remote radio, Neptune supports channels sizes up to 50 kHz with an Adaptive Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) used to automatically select the highest possible modulation and coding scheme based on current signal-to-noise ratios.
Neptune's ruggedized enclosure and fanless operation allow for application in a wide range of industrial fixed and mobile applications. Neptune is capable of running embedded Docker containers for custom applications, enhancing system performance and minimizing RF spectrum demand by allowing data to be analyzed at the network edge.
With non-line-of-sight connectivity over 30 miles, Neptune is designed to support high throughput MC-IoT endpoints, while working in parallel with Venus and Mercury radios for diverse network scalability.
