VIPER SC+ Base™
Digital Infrastructure for Viper SC+ Series
The NextGen Viper SC+ Base Station™ eliminates the tradeoffs between speed, range and reliability. The Base Station is available in a standard or redundant configuration using a Software Defined Radio programmable for 100, 50, 25, 12.5 or 6.25 kHz channels. Redundant configuration features primary and backup radios with identical Ethernet MAC addresses. The VHF and UHF 12.5 kHz and 25 kHz Viper SC+ Base is also approved for ETSI and ACMA operation.
About Viper SC+ Base™
Versatile, Secure Communications with Multispeed Functionality
The NextGen Viper SC+ Base Station™ eliminates the tradeoffs between speed, range and reliability. The Base Station is available in a standard or redundant configuration using a Software Defined Radio programmable for 100, 50, 25, 12.5 or 6.25 kHz channels. Redundant configuration features primary and backup radios with identical Ethernet MAC addresses. The VHF and UHF 12.5 kHz and 25 kHz Viper SC+ Base is also approved for ETSI and ACMA operation.
Each Base Station offers rugged packaging, simple installation and flexible management for VHF, 200MHz, UHF and 900MHz licensed networks. Housed in a rugged, 19″ rack-mountable, aluminum case and built for industrial applications in a variety of environments, the Viper SC+ Base Station operates over an extended temperature range and provides worry-free operation in the roughest environments.
The Base Station operates the MultiSpeed Rate Controller supporting speeds up to 256 kbps at 100 kHz channel for FCC/IC and up to 48 kbps at 25 kHz channel for ETSI/ACMA operation. MultiSpeed operation allows each remote Viper SC+ to communicate to a Viper SC+ Base Station at the fastest channel speed supported by a given signal strength. MultiSpeed results in an adaptive network that is optimized for performance and reliability.
Centralized Management Platform
Viper SC+ Base Station can be remotely managed via an intuitive embedded webpage or SNMP. For medium to large deployments, Viper SC+ Base Station can be integrated with remote management systems.
