MDS Orbit Platform

The Next-Generation Industrial Wireless Networks

As industrial SCADA and automation applications have evolved, corresponding requirements for security,
reliability, and performance of communication networks have become more demanding. Furthermore,
the diversity of topography and wireless spectrum conditions across regions is often difficult to address
with any single wireless technology.

The MDS™ Orbit industrial wireless platform offers the security, reliability, performance, and wireless
flexibility required for next-generation industrial networks. MDS Orbit enables customers to deploy
advanced communications using diverse options of wireless technologies and frequencies.
MDS Orbit allows for communication over licensed spectrum, unlicensed spectrum, cellular and Wi-Fi
in various form factors with single or dual radio options. Its advanced cybersecurity capabilities enable
customers to secure and protect their networks and assets.
