BASE ENGINEERING
Long-Range Chipset
This new wireless chipset option has been designed to increase range, reliability, and installation flexibility beginning with the BASE Engineering portfolio of Ranger and ProControl handheld communication devices. It features the capability to exceed 1,000 feet of range for installations that feature external antennas. One of the key benefits is that it enables device-to-device communication in worksite environments where the use of external antennas is not required, resulting in a cleaner, faster installation.
