The MPU5 and Embedded Module are both built on Persistent’s Interchangeable Frequency Architecture. Both products are compatible with all 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.
The High Power L-Band Interchangeable Frequency Module delivers increased output power and greater power efficiency to Military and Overseas customers.
This module also provides increased noise immunity in congested and contested RF environments.
