About Microwave Data Systems Inc.
Almost two decades ago, MDS began building radios for business-critical applications. Since then,
we ve installed more than 500,000 radios in over 110 countries. To succeed, we overcame impass-
able terrain, brutal operating conditions and disparate, complex network configurations. We also
became experts in wireless communication standards and system applications worldwide. The
result of our efforts is that today, thousands of utilities around the world rely on MDS-based wire-
less networks to manage their most critical assets.
The majority of MDS radios deployed since 1985 are still installed and performing within our cus-
tomers' wireless networks. That s because we design and manufacture our products in-house,
according to ISO 9001 which allows us to control and meet stringent global quality standards.
Thanks to our durable products and comprehensive solutions, MDS is the wireless leader in indus-
trial automation including oil and gas production and transportation, water/wastewater treat-
ment, supply and transportation, electric transmission and distribution and many other utility
applications. MDS is also at the forefront of wireless communications for private and public infra-
structure and online transaction processing. Now is an exciting time for MDS and our customers
as we look forward to further demonstrating our abilities in new and emerging markets.
As your wireless needs change you can continue to expect more from MDS. We'll always put the
performance of your network above all. Visit us at
