900 MHz Spread Spectrum Wireless Radios
Radio and SEL
Designed and optimized for use with Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories Mirrored Bits™ communications protocol, the FreeWave Technologies DGR-115RU provides robust, reliable, error-free communications for electric power protective relay applications.
 
This product is ideal for point to point line of sight communications of 10 miles or less, and provides significant cost and time savings over the installation of a fiber optic link.
 
The DGR-115RU's unique, fast frequency hopping technology provides maximum availability. This ensures reliable Mirrored Bits communications, even in the presence of noise, interference, and high-level electrical fields found in electrical substations.
