Overview 

The Z50 Wireless Modem is a secure, high-performance, long-range 
wireless modem and GPS transponder. Three data interfaces are 
available, transparent-link mode, module pass-through, and 
Raveon’s WMX Wireless Packet Format. Modem operation is 
virtually transparent to the user and the configuration of the 
modem is done easily through the user serial port. 

As a GPS transponder, configuration is as simple as setting a report 
rate. Many options are available to create a customized GPS 
transponder by adjusting reporting rules and detail levels of GPS reports. 

For security, AES-128 encryption is used to secure your data.  Its universal I/O connection makes it 
interchangeable with many other Raveon wireless devices.  

While easy to use out-of-the-box, the Z50 modem’s programmability makes it extremely versatile. Most 
parameters may be reconfigured to optimize for specialized operations, extended range or higher data 
throughput.
