 1

Trio K-Series frequency-hopping, spread-spectrum data

radios set the standard for reliable and secure serial data
communication in the license-free 900MHz and 2.4GHz ISM
bands. With unique features like LinkXtendTM for single radio
store-and-forward, and ChannelShareTM collision-avoidance
for support of spontaneous SCADA messages, K-Series
radios provide the flexibility to allow implementation of even
the most complex wireless solutions with virtually unlimited
expansion capability.

The industrial strength K-Series is ideally suited for the

most demanding Point-to-Multipoint, Point-to-Point, and
SmartPathTM mesh-like wireless Telemetry and remote
SCADA applications, and is available in a fully enclosed
housing (KR) as well as small-format DIN rail-mountable (KP),
board-only (KB), and OEM module (OM) variants.
