Professional Mobile Radio

The GM3xxdata is for professionals who need to communicate using the highest levels of radio sophistication. microcom’s
HERMES family of Professional Mobile Data Radios has gained a world-wide reputation for providing wireless data solutions
with the highest of performance.
Together with MOTOROLA, microcom has developed the GM3xxdata 3rd Generation mobile radio providing data solutions for
the entire GM300 Professional Series.

Data Transmission
Leading edge technology and processes have been implemented in the design and manufacture of the GM3xxdata. State-of-
the-art flash memory and µP technology together with an integrated radio protocol particularly tailored for wireless transmissi-
on ensures an extremely reliable, fast and robust transfer of data over the air. Real-time continuous data stream transfer
rates of 9.6kbps are protected by microcom’s ingenious forward error detection and correction techniques.

The GM3xxdata can be deployed in a simple stand alone point to point mode or as part of a complex point-to-multipoint
network. To enhance coverage a digipeater using store-and-forward processing techniques can be deployed.

Applications

DGPS
The GM3xxdata has been designed to support all standard
DGPS corrective data formats such as RTCM 2.x, SAPOS
and CMR(2) for broadcasting corrective data at one seconds
intervals.

Telemetry
requires a versatile radio unit capable of handling a wide range
of protocols and modes like modbus or Moscad. Embedded
intelligence enables remote activation or deactivation (stand-by
mode) of the radio unit.

SCADA
Providing the essential communications back-bone for a
SCADA RTU the GM3xxdata will integrate into existing
SCADA manufacturers product portfolio without expensive inte-
gration effort.
GPS
A direct interface for the connection of a standard NMEA GPS
receiver. GPS receivers from all of the major manufacturers
have been tested with the GM3xxdata (NMEA mode). No
external intelligence is required to pass time slot controlled
position data or programmable waypoints automatically to the
control station. Minimum time slot is 65ms which allows to
track up to 16 vehicles per second.
TCP/IP
The RS232 interface of the GM3xxdata in conjunction with
microcom’s IP technique enables compatibility with TCP/IP
to establish wireless IP networks.
Versatility
Backwards compatibility is assured with systems already
deployed using the Hermes radio family. All available
accessories heads from the GM300 Professional Radio
Range can be combined to provide system solutions.

Video
Security organisations are often required to protect remote
installations, frequently on a temporarily basis requiring rapid
deployment. The GM3xxdata can support security level video
links to transfer compressed data at 9.6kbps offering a very
cost effective approach to remote observation.
