System Solution FlexibilityThe MDS Mercury Series includes comprehensive security controls and provides channel selection options to permit the use of the clearest channels available in a given area. This facilitates optimized and more consistent throughput and latencies. Additionally, Time-Division Duplexing (TDD) synchronizes MDS Mercury Base Stations to facilitate co-location and coverage overlap without introducing self-inflicted interference.

The feature rich MDS Mercury Series was designed to support Ethernet, serial and WiFi applications. Serial protocol support, both active and transparent, provides communications to legacy and proprietary solutions as easily as to Ethernet communications. The MDS Mercury radios are equipped with two Ethernet ports, reducing the need for cabling when used for multiple Ethernet applications. Additionally, the optional WiFi module supports applications such as field force automation, reducing the need for additional communications equipment.

The MDS Mercury Series is offered in three special packaging options for application flexibility and ease-of-use installation. Indoor Base Stations and Subscribers continue to provide the familiar, feature rich industrially hardened package, while the Mercury Series has expanded to include a robust Outdoor Unit (ODU) and a custom designed NEMA 4X enclosure with battery back-up for data collection and multiple third-party communications.

Advanced Security FeaturesSensitive communications must be protected from over-the-air capture and deciphering, and networks must be protected from unauthorized access. The MDS Mercury platform provides AES 128-bit encryption to protect data as it travels the air waves. Secure network access is provided by EAP-TLS authentication and MAC address filtering. Finally, sensitive data may be segregated using VLAN tagging.

Ease-of-Use Network ManagementOnce the MDS Mercury radio network is operational, the user is able to utilize the MDS PulseNET comprehensive network management system for end-to-end management. MDS PulseNET provides pre-built workflows along with intuitive graphical representations of the communications network. It provides real-time availability, performance and configuration management of the MDS Mercury radios, allowing operations personnel to create customizable, proactive support processes.

Advanced Industrial ApplicationsImplementing a private communications network requires a solution that utilizes the latest technology to obtain the maximum signal range while supporting high data capacity. The full 2x2 Multiple-In, Multiple-Out (MIMO) antennas on the MDS Mercury Base Station and Subscriber units provide a 3dB+systemgainadvantage.

Uplink biasing permits more data throughput for the uplink rather than the downlink – a requirement for industrial deployment. Superior processor speeds accommodate Subscriber unit interrogation and the use of remote network management systems such as GE’s MDS PulseNET.

All MDS Mercury radios provide extreme operational temperature ranges of -40⁰Cto+70⁰C.Therugged,aluminumchassishasbeentestedforshockand vibration according to military standards, and is IEEE 1613 certified and CSA Class 1 / Division 2 approved. The MDS Mercury Series provides Quality of Service (QoS) for data prioritization and use of scalable OFDMA modulation which provides robust communications at higher bandwidths. The MDS Mercury radios also provide sub-channelization to permit signal optimization based on coverage or capacity. Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (Hybrid ARQ) is utilized to provide better connection in poor RF conditions.

The high Ethernet throughput (30 Mbps) allows an organization to deploy an MDS Mercury solution for communications to mission critical polling and monitoring devices with enough capacity to provide additional services such as video surveillance and Voice over IP (VoIP).

Application Example: MiningMining operations involve multiple rail yard loading and unloading processes. High efficiency is critical and seamless communication hand-offs between the Base Stations and Subscribers is necessary. The Mercury Series handles mobility applications and provides the necessary bandwidth for video monitoring of unloading bin sites. The WiFi option provides local WiFi coverage for workforce automation and direct connection to the fiber ring can be achieved via GE’s Lentronics fiber optic multiplexers.

Application: Oil & Gas FacilitiesBelow is an example of an oil well-head application utilizing Mercury Base Stations and indoor and outdoor Subscribers as a point-to-multipoint solution for SCADA and video traffic at well-head sites.
