Designed for the energy and utility segment as well as the water or wastewater industries, the CalAmp Viper SC+ is an intelligent, point-to-multipoint bridge or router for licensed narrowband spectrum holders.  The ruggedized Viper SC+ reliably delivers faster data speeds to support telemetry and SCADA applications in bandwidths ranging from 6.25 kHz to 100 kHz.  Flexible for long-distance applications, this software-programmable router is fast, secure and intelligent.

Four times as fast as devices in its category, the Viper SC+ offers 256 kbps in 100 kHz channels, providing increased throughput for reliable, remote business-critical communications.  The Viper SC+ boasts multispeed operation, which allows each Viper SC+ to communicate to a Viper SC+ Base Station at the fastest speed supported by a given signal strength.  The result is a network where each RF link is optimized for performance and reliability.

Featuring advanced QoS, the Viper SC+ allocates guaranteed RF bandwidth to critical, high-priority user-defned applications.  Able to support multiple applications simultaneously, the Viper SC+ also boasts data prioritization for the ultimate in router intelligence.  The Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) routing capability of the Viper SC+ improves scalability, security and traffic-flow management of the data transmitted and permits a greater number of remote device connections.  Versatile and scalable for the future, the Viper SC+ can be used as an IP router, terminal server, Ethernet bridge, access point, or remote site.

Viper SC+ can be managed via an intuitive webpage, SNMP, or Telnet enabling remote management for every application.  Viper's device managment capabilities allow administrators to set-up and view device information, confgure network parameters and deploy unit upgrades from any location.  These remote management tools reduce the time and cost of maintaining network infrastructure while improving workforce effciency for managing and monitoring industrial equipment in the field.

(Viper SC+ 200, 900 are the only models with 100 kHz channel capability.)
