STS4 Wireless Base Station

STS4 Wireless Base Station

The STS4 Wireless Base Station (STS4-WBS) is the central communication hub between the user’s PC running STS-LIVE and all other STS4 components. All components of this system have been designed to meet the rough field conditions that exist for most projects. Mounting the system on the tripod allows the entire assembly to be quickly moved around in rough ground conditions so that the wireless signal is optimized.
