Extended Network Communications and Bridging
Echo R-T is a self-contained repeater/translator that acts as an intermediary for wireless communication traffic between two end points. Created to extend the reach and reliability of networks in both indoor and outdoor environments, Echo R-T is suitable for a variety of domains such as unmanned ground sytems, search and rescue, and mining applications.
The Echo system is designed for use both as a deployable repeater, extending communications in long-range and non-line-of-sight applications, and as an on-board protocol translator. It's flexible design allows for replacement of hardware components as needed meet your specific requirements.
Echo R-T offers a number of connecivity options, including wired 100Mbps Ethernet (TCP/IP or UDP), wirless 80211b Ethernet (TCP/IP or UDP) and an on- board 90 MHz radio. The proprietary radio uses frequency hopping, spread spectrum technology to improve performance in challenging RF environments. Echo RT comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack for long run times and short recharge times. The hardware design also supports military grade batteries such as the BB-2590/U Li-Ion. Other power options include direct application of power from a host system.
Jr Middleware is used in Echo R-T to provide a digital interface that is compliant to the SAE Aerospace Standard 5669, otherwise known as the JAUS Transport Standard. The protocol allows for UDP, TCP and serial communications while enabling priority queuing, guaranteed delivery and transport-independent addressing. Furthermore, Echo R-T can act as a bridge betwen disparate communication types, allowing for protocol translation between different networks such as allowing an IP-bsed platform to seamlessly communicate with an RS-232 based device.
