Base Station Controller

(BSC 2212)

General Information

Base Station Controller-2212 is the central component of RM Mobile Data system.

The BSC-2212 provides error-free, digital communication between a host computer and multiple mobile units, over a full-duplex, FM radio channel. The BSC Channel contention among the mobile units is managed by the BSC using Digital Sense Multiple Access (DSMA) techniques. Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuits in the BSC compensate for variations in mobile signal deviation.

The BSC-2212 installs at the transmitter site, and is interfaced directly with the base radio. It automatically controls the operation of the radio during digital transmission.

Communication with the host computer is implemented over Ethernet or a RS232C data port, usually via telephone modem or microwave links from the control center. The BSC uses a specially-developed host message protocol to ensure fast and accurate communication with the host.

Versatile to be used across multiple industries, from government and public safety, to security services and private fleet management, the Patriot All-In-One Mobile Data Computer is the products of choice. The Patriot all-in-one MDC has a range of convenient and efficient features, some of which are listed below. Contact a RadioMobile representative to get more information
