UHF Radio Modem

CBX-450

The CBX-450 is a high-speed, car-based half-duplex radio modem suitable for a variety of data transfer applications.

A typical application includes data handshaking to ensure best possible circuit coverage with the CBX-610 telemetry system.

All parameter settings of the radio modem can be modified through the interface from a PC.

External connections for modem status and diagnostics are included.

Application

Two-way data transfer from car to garage.
