Hello, I have a network we are planning to expand. Currently it has three RF451 radios, one as a base station connected to a PC and two at weather stations with CR1000 loggers. I'd like to add several more radios to the mix. I have a couple of more RF451 units and I'd like to add a couple of more RF452 devices and several CR310 or CR350 loggers with built-in RF407 radios. I'm assuming that since these are all Campbell 900MHz devices, they will all network together properly. Is that correct?
All devices with RF45X type radios are compatible with one another but they are not compatible with the RF407 or any of its cousin models. It is true that they are both spread-spectrum radios operating, more or less, in the 900 MHz band but the RF452 and the RF407 use modules from different manufacturers (Freewave vs Digi) that use fundamentally different protocols for the digital radio communications.
