The HiPR-900 wireless modem consists of a logic PCB that includes modem circuitry and a radio module
installed in a cast aluminum case.
The HiPR-900 wireless modem "hops" from channel to channel several times per second using a "hop"
pattern defined by the unit user-configured as Master
band with other microwave radio users without one group interfering with the other. A distinct hopping
pattern is used by HiPR-900 units based on System IDs to minimize the chance of interference with other
spread spectrum networks. In the United States and Canada, no license is necessary to install and operate
this type of spread spectrum system.
The unit is not hermetically sealed and should be mounted in a suitable enclosure when dust and/or a cor-
rosive atmosphere are anticipated. There are no external switches or adjustments; all operating parameters
are set via a web browser.
