High performance base station/repeater
The Spectra Engineering MX800 packs more power and performance into a compact 2RU case than any oyher Base Station/Repeater in its class. The advanced modular construction technics, as found in military grade equipment, assures high tier RF parameters, reliable and long lasting performance.
In addition, the MX 800 automatically switches to P25 mode on reception of a P25 carrier, allowing analog radios in the field to still work on the same system and the flash based software design allows for future upgrades of new features. Saving you time and money.
Advanced programming capabilities
The MX800 can be easily re-configured using our powerful MXTOOLS, a technical diagnostic and alignment tool. MXTOOLS software runs on a standard PC and uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI) allowing the adjustment of over 100 microprocessor controlled parameters.
User specific hardware setup
Simple hardware based configurations or adjustments can be done quickly and easily by the technician using jumper links and analog multi-turn pots.
Self-monitor and diagnostic capability
The MX800 incorporates Built In Test Equipment (BITE) as standard, so as avoiding the need for any external costly monitoring units. The built in Forward and Reflected RF Wattmeter is as accurate as most modern Test Equipment.
Power supply system
By adhering to the 13.8V DC industry standard, the MX800 retains the benefits of simplicity, efficiency and low cost of ownership. Inferior 28V designs suffer from reduced transmitter VSWR rudgeness and the added cost and inefficiency of DC to DC converters.
Complete remote accessibility
A internal Ethernet interface (T58) Option provides data access to the MX800 base station/repeater using Internet/Intranet TCP/IP Protocols. Using the MXTOOLSRD software, remote control and diagnostics monitoring of the MX800 can be performed.
Wide band technology
Spectra Engineering’s designs feature the widest bandwidth in the industry. Previously, the RF power amplifier in a transmitter restricted the available full power bandwidth. New technology now changes those rules with latest generation power amplifiers exceeding 80MHz bandwidth whilst attaining even greater levels of efficiency.
Rugged performance
The MX800 is designed and built without compromise to exceed industry standards and all international specifications. Is also capable of withstanding extreme temperature conditions and is engineered for maximum reliability. A compact yet efficient heatsinking system maintains the highest possible levels of service in adverse environments. Other inferior designs vent hot air through internal sections exposing core components to increased temperatures. The MX800 solves these problems and others by passing all hot air along the outside of the chassis and away from neighboring equipment.
Internal modular design
Allows easy changeover of modules for servicing and has the advantage of simpler and less complicated construction. Being purpose designed and built from the very start, servicing is a breeze with the flat internal layout. By removing just a few cover plates, even while in situ, one can access every component within the MX800 while still operating and fully connected.
