equipment provides standard a robust digital modulation system known as Coded Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexed (COFDM) that provides frequency diversity and powerful Forward Error Correction
(FEC) algorithms. This modulation is ideas for transmitting over water or into urban environments which
typically have high multi-path interference. Product development plans include the ability to switch via a
command to single carrier modulations for Line of Sight (LOS) applications and compatibility with other
surveillance systems.
Our Messenger Receivers include an option for Spatial Maximal Ratio Pre-Detect Diversity Combining to
combat multipath reflections found in indoor/urban environments. CS’ Messenger six or eight channel
receivers with associated Messenger Antenna Arrays (MAAs) provide wide reception range without the
hassle and cost of an auto tracking antenna system. The Messenger series Tx/Rx products provide a
robust wireless link that is effective against the multipath interference experienced by analog systems
and provides reliable data transmission in the most difficult of terrains.
LAN/IP Port
The M2TE contain a 10/100BaseT LAN interface that can be used both for Control & Status monitoring
and for Transport Stream (TS) streaming in and out of the device. The IP address can be assigned
automatically via a DHCP server or via manual settings. Control & Status monitoring is accomplished via
