The Graupner 2.4 GHz IFS system
Tuesday, 22.04.2008
An international development team consisting of specialists in software and hardware has invested several years of development time in creating this new system, and has subjected it to a comprehensive test programme. The examinations included resistance to shock, fall and vibration as well as extensive dust and temperature tests. The investigations confirmed the superiority of the concept, and the result is the superb new Graupner IFS system. It takes the form of a modular system offering the following advantages:
The Graupner IFS system uses bi-directional communication between the transmitter module and the associated receiver. The data is transferred and confirmed in fractions of a milli-second - in both directions!
The IFS system operates on the 2.4 GHz band. This is a license-free band used typically for wireless networks, cordless telephones, and other devices. The radio portion of the IFS system was developed for us by the leader in wireless network technology. The IFS uses all of the available frequencies in the ISM band through an advanced proprietary predictive frequency hopping technique.
The IFS system consists of a six-, eight- or ten-channel receiver and an RF module which is installed in your transmitter in place of the standard RF module. Twelve-channel and sixteen-channel receivers are currently under development.
It is also possible to assign individual reception channels.
Power consumption is extremely low. Even at the highest power level, the power consumption of the radio module is less than 90 mA, giving you up to 5 times the battery life over a traditional 35MHz RF output.
The Graupner IFS system features a 16-bit system providing 65,536 steps to the servo outputs. The IFS system features ample reserves of bandwidth, and future developments could allow the system to carry live video and audio transmissions!
