About GE MDS
Over two decades ago, GE 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 impassable terrain, brutal operating condi-
tions 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 GE MDS-based wireless networks to manage their most critical assets.
The majority of GE MDS radios deployed since 1985 are still installed and performing within our customers' 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, GE MDS is the wireless leader in industrial automa-
tion-including oil and gas production and transportation, water/wastewater treatment, supply and transportation,
electric transmission and distribution and many other utility applications. GE MDS is also at the forefront of wireless
communications for private and public infrastructure and online transaction processing. Now is an exciting time for
GE 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 GE MDS. We'll always put the performance of
your network above all. Visit us at
