CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading provider of wireless
products, services and solutions, today introduced its new Galaxy
900(TM) point-to-point digital access radio system, which provides
wireless transmission of voice and broadband data traffic over long
distances for backhaul applications in the public safety,
industrial and utility markets.
The Galaxy 900 radio system operates in the licensed 900 MHz
(928-960 MHz) frequency band in North America, enabling the
extension of services further than current analog or
higher-frequency digital alternatives. The licensed 900 MHz
spectrum offers inherent advantages for network connectivity to
remote or rural locations. This enables RF signals to be
transmitted over significantly greater distances, requiring less
infrastructure than higher frequency solutions. It offers robust,
spectrum-efficient transmission over distances of 30 miles or more
in a single link, in difficult terrain and other areas where wired
infrastructure may not be available. These advantages result in a
lower upfront investment and reduced recurring operating expenses.
Typical applications include backhaul for private mobile radio,
Ethernet extension and remote monitoring and control applications
for utility networks such as distribution and substation automation
or video monitoring.
"The new Galaxy 900 is a great addition to CalAmp's portfolio of
proven wireless connectivity solutions," commented Rick Nozel,
Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for CalAmp's wireless
networks business. "With the Galaxy 900, CalAmp now provides an
industrial-grade and secure broadband wireless backhaul
connectivity product, a perfect complement to our full suite of
point-to-multipoint solutions. With our expanding product
portfolio, we can better address the diverse wireless communication
needs of our customers in the utility, industrial and public safety
markets."
