Wideye Sabre Ranger BGAN Terminal - Fixed Location
Terminal Price - $2,999 USD
|
|
| |
 |
The Wideye SABRE™ Ranger is a class 3 BGAN terminal built for long term fixed location outdoor operation. While the Ranger performs like any BGAN terminal, it also maintains a continuous, always available network/Internet connection required for devices such as SCADA sensors. All BGAN terminals (except the Ranger, the Hughes 9201 M2M and the Hughes 9502 M2M) will close a connection if it becomes idle after a few minutes and reconnecting those terminals would require human interaction. The Wideye Ranger keeps a persistent 12 hour connection. New sessions are easily started by local AT or remote SMS command. The Ranger is perfectly suited as a manned or unmanned communications link.
Ranger Features

The all weather Wideye Ranger is very compact which helps it avoid vandalism or theft. |
|
Contents include the Wideye Ranger, AC/DC power adapter with European/UK/US standards, (direct DC power also available), an RG-45 Ethernet cable, an RJ-11 phone cable, the Multi-function cable, bracketing, pipe clamps, software and users manual. Note that this system does not have the Heater Cable option (shown below). |

Two U-bolts secure the Ranger Mounting/Pointing Bracket to a vertical pole (3.75" OD in photo). All BGAN systems operate on the "L-band" which can operate in very sever weather. The Ranger's small size keeps it from moving off signal in sever winds. It is a perfect manned or unmanned remote communications point. |
|
The backside of the Ranger has only two openings, one for the 33 Foot (10 Meter) Multi-function Cable and an optional Heater Cable for cold weather operation. (The Heater cable is no longer available for the Ranger). |

The 33 Foot (10M) Multi-function cable includes Phone, Ethernet and Power. |

A close up of both ends of the Multi-Function cable. You may plug in any standard phone to the Phone Port or any Laptop directly to the Ethernet port. The other port is for power to the Ranger Electronics. |

A close up of the cable connections of both the Multi-Function cable (and the now obsolete heater cable that has been discontinued). |
|
Simple connect a Laptop (or IP capable Device), Phone, and DC Power plug to the multi-function cable. With BGAN, you pay for only what you actually transfer, so the open network connection of a Ranger does not impact your usage bill significantly over other BGAN terminals. |

The Wideye Ranger ships with an AD/DC power adapter, however, you may run direct DC current to the terminal. Output of the AC/DC Adapter is shown as 15V, 2.8Amps |
|
The two pipe clamps that secures the Wideye bracketing are just under 4 inches wide. |
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
| |
Once powered up, you may access the web interface screen of the Ranger for numerous configurations. Please read the Wideye Rangers Users Manual for more information. |
|
You may temporarily or permanently plug in any standard wired or wireless phone into the RJ-11 phone port. We recommend a 2-wire phone that does not require external power to reduce power consumption. |

If you intend to use the Ranger for monitoring SCADA devices, the Wideye IOTA compact computer may help you connect your external sensors. More on IOTA |
|
The Ranger is an excellent manned or unmanned communications point that can be monitored by any system on the Internet. It may also be activated or deactivated (or rebooted) by SMS text message from a GPS satellite, saving on usage or troubleshooting expenses while off site.
