FIG 2<br />

Multiband Series 4400 in its present<br />

confi guration covers the frequency range<br />

100 MHz to 512 MHz. Future modules<br />

with appropriate software will considerably<br />

extend this range – deploying the same<br />

platform<br />

FIG 1<br />

Thanks to their open concept, Series 4400<br />

radios are easily integrated into complex<br />

communication scenarios. They fully meet<br />

requirements for future-proofness, fl exibility<br />

and modularity<br />

Optimally integrated into<br />

modern networks<br />

Network integration is simplifi ed by a<br />

variety of standardized interfaces. The<br />

LAN hubs integrated into the radios<br />

provide for easy networking between<br />

installations and with other communication<br />

components. Plus, serial and ISDN<br />

interfaces are offered for controlling<br />

units from detached stations. A graded<br />

system of passwords for various user<br />

groups guards authorized access.<br />

Real plug&play<br />

To reduce the maintenance effort to a<br />

minimum, the individual modules are<br />

fully independent of each other. Meaning<br />

that if a module is replaced, neither<br />

hardware adjustment nor an exchange<br />

Multiline and multimode<br />

VHF(tact.)<br />

The multichannel radios of Series 400U<br />

already offered two parallel communication<br />

lines, with Series 4400 there<br />

are up to four. And the radios of Series<br />

4400 occupy only three height units –<br />

an innovation in surface radios.<br />

Two of these communication lines<br />

can be protected against jamming<br />

and interception for secure transmission<br />

(eg frequency hopping and<br />

encryption). Even waveform modifi -<br />

cations or third-party data radio protocols<br />

can be implemented line by<br />

line by simple software downloads.<br />

Voice is digitized internally and can<br />

be routed to one of the communication<br />

lines by an integrated digital<br />

switch. In this way the open concept<br />

of Series 4400 can implement digital<br />

voice and/or data communication.<br />

Multiband capability<br />

Articles<br />

Another outstanding feature of Series<br />

4400 is the possibility of extending<br />

to extra frequency bands (FIG 2). The<br />

limits of traditional transceivers (eg<br />

VHF/UHF or HF) have been done<br />

away with. Thanks to the multiband<br />

capability of Series 4400, rigid assignments<br />

to a certain application or frequency<br />

band are a thing of the past.<br />
