FAST RADIO CONNECTION OVER GREAT DISTANCES
SmartRadioNet GmbH has radio network of five main radio stations that serve Southern and Central Bavaria. They use SATEL XPRS Solution (IP radio routers with 150 kHz bandwidth and 4FSK modulation in use) and the connection is excellent: over a distance of 141 kilometres.
Currently SmartRadioNet is operating five independent radio communication networks. In a typical setting, there is no clear line of sight between stations. The maximum distance between network stations is 141 kilometres and the delta of elevation is 1400 metres. The radio networks cover alpine regions and hilly parts of the Bavarian Uplands. FSK is the choice for technology, because this type of modulation helps achieve the needed connectivity.
Mount Watzmann
SmartRadioNet’s central radio hub is located in alpine setting in Watzmann House in the Bavarian Alps. The coverage of the radio network is superb: Southern and Central Bavaria as well as parts of Austria. The distance between the stations is 141 kilometres. The connection is faultless and it is not affected by weather conditions – what a great achievement!
