Industrial LTE, Licensed, Unlicensed Communications
As industrial SCADA and automation applications have evolved, corresponding requirements for security, reliability and performance of communication networks have become more demanding. Furthermore, the diversity of topography and wireless spectrum conditions across regions is often difficult to address with any single wireless technology.
The solution is here…
Introducing the MDS Orbit Platform

The MDS TransNext Platform
Long-range, Ethernet, and Unlicensed Serial Communications
The new MDS TransNEXT™ is the successor to the MDS TransNET™ 900 MHz unlicensed radio. Setting the standard for reliable, long-range wireless serial data transmission utilizing proven Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology, the next generation TransNEXT is backwards-compatible with its predecessor, TransNET. The TransNEXT’s backwards compatibility enables the continued use of legacy serial networks while also adding new capabilities to migrate networks with secure Ethernet connectivity.
Backwards-compatibility with TransNET, with similar or better RF performance in real-world field installations.
Additional functionality for forward migration of legacy networks, which include IP Ethernet data and capacity to support future roadmap development.
Excellent performance across unlicensed 900 MHz spectrum in the face of interference or difficult signal paths.
Time-saving and flexible network management and diagnostic tools, including support for MDS PulseNET, Field Network Manager, OTA reprogramming, optional e-ink display, and more.
Low-power consumption/sleep mode for solar or battery power DSR (intelligent energy use) operations
