2. Overview
The
RV-M29
GPS transponder is a rugged high-speed UHF/VHF data modem with a
built-in 6-channel GPS receiver. It has ½ to 5 watts of RF power output, and operates as
a GPS transponder for tracking, and a radio modem for sending and receiving data.
As well as sending position and status, the
RV-M29
also has a radio modem with
integrated Ethernet 10/100 Base-T interface.
For privacy and security, over-the air encryption is standard on every
RV-M29
radio. For
radio network versatility, the
RV-M29
incorporates a 16-bit identification code, allowing up
to 65,000 units to be identified in one system. For wide-area coverage, all
RV-M29
transponders may be set to store-and-forward messages from other
RV-M29
transponders.
