1.2 General Description
Dataradio’s ViPR radiomodem is a DSP-based narrowband Ethernet IP radio that operates in the UHF
(406.1-512 MHz) and VHF (136-174 MHZ) frequency ranges.
The ViPR radiomodem is designed for SCADA, telemetry, control, and industrial applications in Point-
to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint configurations.
The ViPR radiomodem supports serial and Ethernet/IP Remote Terminal Units (RTU) and programmable
logic controllers (PLC). It is standard IEEE 802.3af compliant.
The ViPR wireless modem consists of two logic PCBs; one that includes the modem circuitry and the
other the radio module. Both are installed in a cast aluminum case.
The unit is not hermetically sealed and should be mounted in a suitable enclosure when dust and/or a cor-
rosive atmosphere are anticipated. There are no external switches or adjustments; all operating parameters
are set via a web browser.
