Flexible Configuration
& Spectrum Diversity
The MPU5 and Embedded Module are both built on Persistent’s Interchangeable Frequency Architecture. Both products are compatible with all of Persistent’s Interchangeable Frequency Modules. This design allows you to adapt and select an operational band best suited to your environment and application without replacing your entire radio inventory or redesigning your embedded radio integration. Additionally, as global spectrum regulations continue to evolve, the Interchangeable Frequency Module protects your investment or design from obsolescence; the module can be quickly and easily changed to ensure compliance.
L-Band
Persistent’s L-Band Interchangeable Frequency Modules were designed for use by Military (1350 – 1390 MHz) and Overseas customers. The longer wavelength of the L-Band frequency (compared to S-Band) allows the MPU5 to reach further distances with omnidirectional antennas, which is ideal for aviation applications.
