With line-of-sight range up to 90 miles, the MM2-13X5W can be deployed in settings in which lifesaving communications and security are paramount, including UAS applications, soldier training, environmental monitoring and other government and defense needs.
The radio also features:
- 115.2 and 153.6 kbps selectable RF data rates
- TDMA, Super Epoch TDMA, and AES Encryption
- Performance tests from -40 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius
- Data link range up to 90 miles
