STARMODEM™

General Description

Industrial Narrow Band Radio Modem

The new STARModem™ is an industrial radio modem that enables wireless communication between Datalogic narrow band RF devices and a host system. In a basic point-to-point configuration, it transmits via radio any terminated string received through its RS232 port and vice versa.

To satisfy different user needs and cover a wide range of applications, STARModem™ makes it possible for any wired RS232 device to become wireless: bar code printers, industrial scales, industrial scanners can send/receive data to/from the Datalogic STAR-System™ like a RF device, exploiting all the benefits of the most powerful RF Narrow band solution for Mobile applications. It can work with: Gryphon™ M, Dragon™ M and all the Formula Basic Line RF Terminals.

Robustness and reliability, together with real-time communication are key features that make the STARModem™ unique. Many processes in the Manufacturing industry as well as in the Distribution & Retail Industry, take place in harsh environ- ments: STARModem™, specifically conceived for tough industrial use, can oper- ate in all environmental conditions including in outdoor applications without com- promising its functionalities.

Furthermore, STARModem™ has been conceived for forklift applications and, therefore, it can be mounted on a forklift without compromising its performances, resisting vibrations and any mechanical stress, demonstrated by several tests that have been successfully executed. The concept of total mobility is further exploited by the Automatic Roaming function.

Thanks to its small size, its adjustable antenna and the brackets included, STARModem™ guarantees the best positioning according to your application needs, even in the most critical places, without any restriction.

STARModem™: wireless data communication whenever mobility is a must.
