Mobile Radio Data Technology

Mobile Data Radio technology shares its resources among users in a similar manner to a modern local area network. Coverage and capacity can be increased by simply adding base stations. The MDRS, which is based on highly scalable Mobitex technology, has the capability to be expanded up to 12,500 base stations.

The MDRS network’s componentry is designed for easy location and installation. Its small, uncomplicated units consist of a Data Radio Base Station, the MX Data Network Switch and the NCC Network Control Centre.

This streamlined, modular architecture makes for an extremely efficient and flexible management regime. The network can be precisely configured to match a particular service mix and meet expected solution requirements. Then, as demand and service uptakes change over time, the network can be easily re-configured.

While MDRS bears some similarity to the digital cellular technology of today’s mobile phone systems, it is unique in several respects. Firstly, as a narrowband technology designed for wireless data communication, it uses packet switching to maximise spectrum efficiency. Secondly, it is a dedicated, data-only network that is based on an open, international standard.

This means, that over the greatest number of wireless data applications, MDRS is the most cost-effective technology.

In the field, MDRS can be relied upon to meet the requirements of public safety and business-critical applications. By ensuring that real time data is available onsite and on-demand, MDRS empowers its users to respond in a timely manner.
