Overview
Finally! An expandable 1600bps FLEX™ encoder
Kantronics proudly introduces the latest addition to its legendary line of
paging infrastructure equipment -- the Kantronics FC-2500.
In addition to the Golay and POCSAG protocols encoded by the popular
KPC-2000 and FC-2000, the FC-2500 expands your system economically to
encode the popular 1600bps FLEX™ protocol.
The FC-2500 offers ease of set-up and a wide bariety of linking options for
system flexibility. This encoder is backwards-compatible with the FC-2000,
and can be upgraded to the functionality of the FC-3000.
Remarkable control of data flow ensures efficient use of valuable link and
airtime. System configuration and firmware upgrades are all easily
accomplished from the central site.
The FC-2500 was designed to save you money and time, while increasing your
revenue potential.
