Have a fgr3 network?
paying $800+ for a fgr3?
you could be saving $200 or more A xeta9x
Save money using state of the art technology that is supported, offers higher data rates, encryption, and better RF performance.
save money
-
You may be paying $800 or more for a FGR3 radio.
-
The list price for a XETA9X radio is $600.
-
You could be saving $200 or more per radio.
​
​If you're purchasing six FGR3 radios annually to maintain you're networks, you're paying $4800 or more. Six XETA9X radios would cost you $3600 or less saving you at least $1200.
increase throughput
-
The FGR2 network has a throughput of 115.2 kbps or 153.6 kbps.
-
​The XETA9X network can start with a higher throughput.
-
Throughput options up to 5.3 Mbps are available with the XETA9X network.
​​
Increasing poll rates or adding more sites to your network may not be feasible with your current FGR2 network. The XETA9X network can operate initially 4.5 times faster and once the FGR2 network has been converted to a XETA9X network, the ability to increase the throughput more is available.
SECURE your data
-
If the option wasn't purchased, your FGR2 radios do not support encryption.
-
To secure your network, all FGR2 radios would have to be replaced.
-
The XETA9X radio comes standard with 128-bit and 256-bit AES encryption.
​
​You're unsecure FGR2 network isn't protecting your data. If your FGR2 radios weren't purchased with the encryption option, you would have to replace all of the FGR2 radios with FGR3 radios while the XETA9X network can be encrypted when initially deployed.
improve performance
-
Have you installed the FGR3 radio and observed network issues?
-
Poor receiver selectivity can make it difficult for the FGR3 to receive.​
-
Receiver selectivity of the XETA9X is xx dB better than the FGR3.
Due to poor receiver selectivity, it's difficult for the FGR3 to receive in the presence of other transmitters. This means missed packets, missed polls, and an overall reduction in effective throughput. When installed as a master, your entire network is affected. When installed as a slave, just that remote site is affected.
Your solution?
The Xetawave ins
Disconnect the antenna from the FGR2 master radio, connect the FGR2 master radio to the INS, and connect the antenna to the INS. Now you're simultaneously operating the FG2 network and a XETA9X network while sharing the same antenna.
​
Get started with paying less, securing your network, and improving performance and throughput. Purchase 4 XETA9X radios and XetaWave will provide the INS at no cost. For inquiries and orders, contact us.
