  • Fully modular front-panel I/O system (RS232, RS485, USB, GPIO, Analog, FIO)
  • Supports ISM, MURS, VHF, and UHF frequency bands
  • Embedded Raveon M6 / M50 / Z50 modem architecture
  • GPS + TDMA tracking option for mobile systems
  • AES-128 encrypted secure communications
  • Field-replaceable radio module and I/O interface

RV-M22 RADIO MODEM

OVERVIEW

The RV-M22 is a compact, rugged radio modem platform designed for SCADA, telemetry, GPS tracking, RTK positioning, and industrial control applications.

Unlike fixed-interface radios, the M22 is built around a modular I/O architecture, allowing the interface type to be changed in the field without replacing the unit.

This makes it ideal for systems that evolve over time or require deployment flexibility across multiple application types.
