PHOENIX, Sept. 5, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Radyne Corporation (Nasdaq:RADN) today unveiled its new MDX420 Satellite Network Gateway at the International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam. The revolutionary MDX420 applies Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) technology to provide full mesh, hub and spoke and hybrid network architectures. The MDX420 can also operate in single channel per carrier mode -- all on the same platform. This functionality makes the MDX420 the world's first "cross over" modem.
Designed specifically for small to mid sized networks, SkyWire(tm) is a scaleable, extremely efficient, easy to use, low cost TDMA network platform designed for IP network LAN-LAN connectivity. The SkyWire(tm) platform can be used in a "True" full mesh configuration allowing for hubless operation without the need for high stability clocking, complex Management and Control (M&C) or expensive central bandwidth allocation servers. SkyWire(tm) also fills the much needed sub-300 node hub and spoke network architecture by offering it's users a low cost hub solution that allows smaller networks the ability to begin a hub and spoke network at a fraction of the cost of a conventional hub and spoke network. Hub prices begin at under $10,000.
"We are extremely excited about the MDX420, and the capabilities it will provide to our customers," said Myron Wagner, Radyne's CEO. "We are gratified with the high level of interest in the new product and began booking orders in August."
SkyWire(tm) will be displayed and demonstrated at the Radyne stand (No. 1.418) at the 2007 IBC held at the RAI Convention Centre in Amsterdam September 7th through September 11th, 2007.
