MAS Upgrade

Still struggling with 9.6 Kbps?

Once upon a time, utilities ran their Multiple Address Systems across networks offering a whopping 9.6kbps – seems like a MAS upgrade is well overdue!

Background

With data demands proliferating in recent years, 9.6 kbps based networks simply can’t cope, let alone provide any of the latest security advancements or grid future proofing.  Furthermore, there has been a shift away from the older serial protocols used towards IP-based protocols.  With new advanced wireless solutions available from Mimomax, the time for change has arrived.

Deploy a new high-data capacity network

Mimomax can offer you an upgrade path where aggregate data rates of 1280 kbps (640 kbps in + 640 kbps out) in a 50 kHz channel can easily be achieved as well as integration between serial and IP-based equipment.  Allowing you to connect multiple assets across your network and transfer voice and data with latency sitting as low as 10 m/s in a point-to-point environment, a solution based around our award-winning Tornado radio could help modernize your grid and transform how you do business.

Key benefits of upgrading your MAS Network to a high capacity SCADA network:

• Connect more assets, optimizing your investment in spectrum;
• Achieve far greater rates of data throughput to meet your demands of today and into the future;
• Get near real-time feedback on your network with our ultra-low latency solution;
• Integrate older serial-based equipment with IP-based assets.
