Raven X front and back
The Raven X's rugged form factor is ideal for industrial and commercial applications that require 
real-time communications. The Raven X provides cellular data communications for a variety of 
applications, such as primary or backup Internet connectivity, public safety, traffic control, traffic 
metering, and more.
EV-DO (Evolution Data Optimized) provides a broadband-like cellular data connections that is 10 
times faster than 1xRTT (CDMA) service. With the high-speed connection, users can experience 
faster downloading when accessing the Internet and retrieving e-mails, including large attach-
ments and other bandwidth-intensive applications. EV-DO is often refered to as Mobile Broad-
band and Cellular Broadband. 
EV-DO revision A is an evolution of revision 0, adding expanded upload capabilities and a more 
robust connection overall.  In addition to increasing the downlink speed, revision A also increases 
the uplink speed. In addition, it is backwards compatible and automatically connects with existing 
and broadly deployed EV-DO Rev. 0 and CDMA 1x networks ensuring reliable and pervasive 
connectivity.
