A new operating system (OS) for our RF500M Radio Modem and RF500B Base Station allows a datalogger, RF500M modem, and radio to integrate seamlessly with existing ALERT networks. The new OS supports concurrent ALERT and PakBus communications, our two-way protocol.

ALERT is a one-way communication protocol for collecting event-driven, real-time data from other ALERT stations. Our PakBus communication protocol can be used to retrieve historical data, initiate retries for missed data, perform remote diagnostics, synchronize clocks, and provide remote programming.
