3. Introduction
The RADIO-900M provides wireless communications for Mass Notification. The Wireless
Ethernet Radio provides a wired-to-wireless communication bridge between Mass
Notification units when it is not feasible to physically wire into a facility's network.
The RADIO-900M drives audible, visual and data devices via the 900 MHz ISM band using
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS). When used with a Cooper Notification approved
compatible antenna, communication is available for line of site distances of up to 6 miles.
A site survey must always be conducted by a qualified, factory trained
technician prior to determining the radio and antenna locations.
