The MDS Orbit is offered in three different packaging options.

The OCR (Outdoor-Connect Router) is designed to provide security and strength in harsh weather environments.

The ECR (Edge-Connect Router), is the smallest of the options, designed for space limited installations.

The MCR (Multiservice-Connect Router) provides an industry unique advantage of dual radio uplinks which help minimize network downtime with capabilities such as signal quality based smart auto failover and other redundancy features.

Customer hybrid communications networks are supported with popular use cases such as licensed narrowband and LTE connectivity in one solution.

A foundational building block for the MDS Orbit Platform is security, a core competency area for GE Vernova, and a critical consideration and requirement for evaluating wireless communications systems for customers across all industry types and geographies

By securing the device, the user, and the network with open standards-based algorithms and protocols, the MDS Orbit Platform provides the necessary functions and tools to enable utilities to meet cyber security requirements and regulations.

GE Vernova’s MDS Orbit Platform has been designed with flexibility to allow use of different communication technologies to meet specific bandwidth, range, frequency, and geographic requirements of industrial applications. The CPU horsepower of an MDS Orbit device can be scaled to meet the application, network, and security performance requirements of a broad range of utility applications.

Several features have been designed into the MDS Orbit Platform to provide ease of use for customers, reducing the learning curve for new users, and reducing the time required for network deployment, troubleshooting and maintenance.
