Paging Transmitters

Paging Transmitters

The RFI series paging transmitter is suited for applications in city and statewide paging systems for commercial, health and emergency services usage where reliable simulcast overlapped coverage is critical.

The transmitter can be used as a standalone unit for covering a campus or building, or as a part of a large wide-area network with almost any paging terminal vendor. The transmitter can also be seamlessly installed in place of other transmitter brands in an existing UHF paging network.

Transmitters provide 20-250 Watt continuous duty power output for 138-174 MHz and 929-932 MHz Bands for digital paging systems. Supports POCSAG and Flex paging protocols.

Designed to match the Prism-IPX ipBSC transmitter controller interface, the RFI allows full remote control, monitoring, alarming and remote software management using the Prism-IPX OMI Network Management System.

Applications

The RFI-148 is suited for applications in citywide and statewide paging systems used by commercial, healthcare, and emergency service organizations where reliable simulcast overlapped coverage is critical.

The transmitter can be used as a standalone unit to cover a campus or building, or as part of a large wide-area paging network with almost any paging terminal vendor.

It can also be installed in place of other transmitter brands within an existing VHF paging network.

Specifications

Multiple Paging Protocols

The transmitter can be used with all industry-standard POCSAG and FLEX paging formats.

Output Sniffer Port

A separate port with output power relative to the transmitter output allows a diagnostics module to check the outgoing RF message for integrity and transmit power level.

Absolute Delay Correction

The transmitter absolute delay setting can be configured for multisite networks to account for different upstream paths from the paging terminal to the transmitter sites.

Frequency Offset

Configurable frequency offset allows multi-site frequency planning to eliminate “zero beating” and RF nulls.

Remote Diagnostics

Windows™ software allows remote Ethernet connection to the transmitter for configuration, diagnostics, and firmware upgrades.

Smart Protection

Configurable alarm thresholds and transmitter actions allow user-defined levels of automatic protection for on-site equipment.

Integrated Isolator

An integrated fan-cooled and temperature-controlled isolator allows a damaged or missing antenna system to be remotely diagnosed.

Reliability

Superb environmental control, improved amplifier efficiency, and a design optimized for reliability make the RFI-148-250 one of the most reliable high-powered paging transmitters available.
