Radio

Internal radio

The instrument has an internal radio to support robotic operations.

The internal radio is a 10 mW radio that operates in the public free 2.4 GHz band. The radio uses frequency hopping technology to reduce radio interference and maintain radio communications in even the harshest RF environment.

To maintain radio communication with the instrument, the controller at the pole must also be connected to a 2.4 GHz external radio. The radio for the controller is also available as an optional integrated 2.4 GHz radio module.
