Long-Range Ethernet Over RF

Industrial Ethernet connectivity with integrated long-range radio modem for SCADA, telemetry, and remote networking.

RV-M55-E Ethernet Interface Radio

Overview

The RV-M55-E Ethernet Interface Radio provides reliable long-range wireless communication for Ethernet and serial-based systems. Built for industrial and remote environments, it enables network connectivity across 10 to 100 miles without the need for cellular service or wired infrastructure.

With support for multiple internal radio platforms—including M6, M8, and M50 LoRa—the M55-E offers flexibility across VHF, UHF, and license-free 900 MHz bands. It is ideal for SCADA systems, industrial automation, utilities, and infrastructure monitoring where secure, long-distance communication is critical.

Use Cases

SCADA Network Extension Extend Ethernet-based SCADA systems into remote locations without fiber or cellular.
Wireless Ethernet Bridge Replace leased lines with secure long-range RF communication.
Remote Monitoring Systems Connect PLCs, RTUs, and sensors across large facilities or distributed assets.
Wide-Area Networks Build scalable communication networks using repeaters and multiple nodes.

How it Works

The RV-M55-E operates as a wireless Ethernet bridge, transmitting IP-based data over RF. Devices connect through Ethernet or serial interfaces, and the radio securely sends data to other radios across long distances.

Adjustable data rates, modulation, and power allow users to optimize for range or throughput. Built-in repeating capabilities extend network coverage across wide geographic areas.

Deployment Scenarios

Point-to-Point Direct communication between two locations.
Point-to-Multipoint Multiple remote sites connected to a central hub.
Repeater Networks Extended range using intermediate radio nodes.
Hybrid Networks Integration of Ethernet and serial systems into one network.
