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 />

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 />

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 />
