Pliant Technologies CRT-900 CrewCom 900MHz Radio Transceiver

The Pliant Technologies CRT-900 CrewCom 900MHz Radio Transceiver houses a radio with corresponding antennas and serves as an access point enabling RF communications with CrewCom Radio Packs. Using CrewNet as a backbone, up to 46 RTs can be positioned on the network throughout a wide coverage area by being linked back to a Control Unit either directly, through a Hub(s), or connected in a daisy-chain configuration.
