XStream‐PKG‐E™ Ethernet RF Modem – Product Manual v5.x00 [2006.02.24]
1. XStream Ethernet RF Modem
XStream-PKG-E Ethernet RF Modems extend system performance and
flexibility by adding serial connectivity to Ethernet networks.
MaxStream RF Modems handle the complexities inherent to RF
communications (modulation, demodulation, frequency synthesizers,
amplifiers, filters, FCC approvals, etc.), so OEMs and integrators can
focus resources beyond the wireless portion of the data system.
