The Raveon model RV-M7 transponder is a rugged high-speed UHF data modem with a built-in 12-channel GPS receiver. It has up to 5 watts of RF power output, and operates as both a GPS transponder for tracking, and a radio modem for sending and receiving data.

The RV-M7 may be configured for a number of different GPS applications, including:

Transponder: Periodically transmit position and status.
GPS display: Connect RV-M7 to a hand-held or mobile GPS, and icons will appear on the display showing the location of all other RV-M7 radios in the system.
Radar Display: Radar Display: Connect RV-M7 to a marine plotter or radar display, and icons will appear on the display showing the location of all other RV-M7 radios in the system.
RavTrack PC: Connect the RV-M7 to a personal computer running RavTrack PC (or other PC software) to view a map showing location, status, log movement, set alerts, and make reports from the data.

As well as transmitting its position and status over the air, the RV-M7 also has a radio modem with integrated RS232/422/485 interface for sending and receiving data.

For privacy and security, over-the air encryption is standard on every RV-M7 radio. For network versatility, the RV-M7 incorporates a 16-bit identification code, allowing up to 65,000 objects to be identified in one system. For wide-area coverage, all RV-M7 transponders may be set to store-and-forward messages from other RV-M7 transponders. Although the RV-M7 is the easiest to use modem on the market, and makes the easiest to set-up Automatic Vehicle Locations (AVL) system available, its re-programmability makes it extremely versatile. Most parameters within the modem may be re-configured to optimize it for specialized operations, extended range, or higher data throughput.
