The VR7400 terminals are an out-of-the-box, ready-to-go, cost-effective broadband solution. Advantech Wireless now offers a simple to use modem for backhauling video from a remote site to a centralized location. Easy to integrate with video encoders and decoders, the VR7400 allows the optimized use of satellite bandwidth that can be also translated into Capex savings.
