Comparing 900 MHz Mobile Products
We're not tied to any particular vendor.
Our objective is to identify the best
technology for your situation and put together the solution that
will work best. So, what have we done? We've gone
out and acquired the
available
products in order to fully understand their capabilities (and
short-comings) so that we can provide a credible recommendation
to you.
In a mobile environment, we want to optimize
coverage, speed and cost. Security is always an issue, but
that can be addressed with each of the products. We've
taken all our understanding of the technologies, the control
mechanisms of each radio and our testing and simplified it in
the chart below. This is meant just to give you an
overview and to help you understand that the differences in
these products are substantial. We'd be happy to help you
with your situation.
