QUANTAR Analogue Data Base Station (Discontinued)
High performance base station
The Motorola QUANTAR has a modular design, with the flexibility, adaptability and feature set that mission critical communications demands. The software design allows for system migration and feature upgrades via FLASHport™ and the compact design allows users to optimize space usage which ultimately help reduce costs.
Delivering clear and continuous high-quality communications and having top quality RF parameters, QUANTAR is the mission critical radio choice, combining cutting-edge technology with exceptional reliability. The use of full duplex operation helps to optimize the data throughput, while the optional RSSI, allows for the network controller to choose the optimum transmitter to communicate to a specific terminal and determine which transmitters may be used simultaneously without harmful interference.
Features
High performance data transmission
- Frequent transmitter keying required by busynetworks is easily handled. Configurable transmitterpower permits communication coverage to becustomized for mobile and portable terminals.Radio Signal Strength Information (RSSI) is available,which is a measure of the strength of signals receivedfrom mobile or portable data terminals in the network.
- RSSI allows the network controller to choose theoptimum transmitter to communicate to a specificterminal and determine which transmitters may beused simultaneously without harmful interference.Hundreds of data terminals may be supported on asingle channel.Data sent to mobile or portable data terminals isconverted to the correct protocol for over-the-airtransmission. Data received from mobile or portabledata terminals is corrected for errors before beingforwarded through the network.
- Protocol conversion in the base station eliminatesreprogramming the host computer to use a protocolcompatible with the network. Error correctionmaintains data integrity.Full duplex operation over a 4 wire Type 5 or 3002grade telephone line.
- Full duplex operation optimizes data throughput.
Maximum flexibility in a compact design
- The software-intensive design allows for easier upgrades and system migrations.The electronic components for the QUANTAR DBS are housed in a standard EIA 19”rack mount chassis. The base station with modem and radio frequency peripheralscan be housed in a 30 inch cabinet.
- Compact dimensions utilize expensive site space efficiently.A switching power supply functions over a wide range of voltages and frequencies.
- The station is adaptable to meet a variety of needs and changing requirements.
Unmatched reliability and serviceability
- The QUANTAR DBS provides reliable solid state performance and continuous dutycycle operation. Battery reverting is available in the event of a site power failure.Functionally separate modules – Field Replaceable Units (FRU) – allow mostmaintenance and repair work to be done quickly and easily in the field, reducingcostly downtime. Comprehensive diagnostics, self-testing, and alarm reportingprovide up-to-date information to ensure the station operates in optimum condition.
