Alligator Communications is a radio manufacturer dedicated solely to the production of Multiple Address System (MAS) radios, certified by the FCC for use in Private Operations - Fixed Microwave Systems. These commonly include Electric, Gas, and Water Utilities; Petroleum Production; Pipeline Operation; Railroad Signals and Controls; and a large number of lesser-known industries.

Alligator Communications' founders, with more than forty years combined experience in the manufacturing and marketing of 900 MHz radio equipment, incorporated the company in 1991. From its inception Alligator management insisted on a design that was highly innovative and extremely responsive to user requirements.

This forward-looking attitude of Alligator's management team has served the industry well. Although significant technical capabilities have been added to the products in response to customer suggestions, the original basic design remains the keystone of Alligator's product line. Another compliment to Alligator's design ability is that most of Alligator's innovative improvements are later incorporated into competitors products.
The Alligator product design team took customer need as it's greatest priority. Customer input was compiled prior to commencing the design of our radio products. The customer needs were then incorporated to the design. Located in the heart of the Silicon Valley, Alligator has access to the latest technology and qualified technical personnel. As a result, Alligator quickly became an industry leader in innovative RF, digital, and software design. Other manufacturers continue to follow in our footsteps in the design of product features.

Several years ago, Alligator was the first to offer frequency agile master and remote radios with over-the-air adjustments. This allows for complete remote diagnostics and control in our multiple address radio networks. By simply loading Alligator's diagnostic software onto any PC computer and connecting the computer to a master station (by a direct connection, phone line, or microwave link), every Alligator remote radio becomes accessible for monitoring and adjusting via the radio's RF path. An onboard microprocessor installed in every radio virtually eliminates the task of setting jumpers, dipswitches, and trimpots.

With their latest innovation, Alligator takes MAS operating and maintenance technology to the limit with the patented design of "GatorTrac." This features a common time base in the master/repeater radio to synchronize and align all its internal modules as well as the associated remote radios equipped with AGFC which constantly calibrate their frequency using the master radio as a reference. This allows the transmit signal from the master/repeater and the receive bandpass filter envelope of all the remote radios to be in perfect alignment and unaffected by individual frequency drift. As a result, the system Bit Error Rate (BER) is always maintained at an optimum level.
