Philadelphia, PA—August, 2006,—Nomadio™ (www.nomadio.net) announced today that it has expanded its line of Radio Control (R/C) systems with another landmark product for the hobbyist market. The new control system is called “React™”. For the first time, R/C enthusiasts will be able to choose a high end radio with unmatched pure digital speed at a fraction of the cost of other brands' mid-priced radios. React™ transmits at 100Hz which makes it the fastest reacting R/C radio made. Furthermore, Nomadio standard 100mW RF output in FHDSS conforms to world wide ISM radio regulations.
Like the Sensor™ by Nomadio, the React™ can transmit telemetry back from the car as it is driven. The React™ system supports “feelers” that give the driver real time feedback of the car’s speed, battery voltage, and engine temperature. Unique to the RC market, the React™ radio system is software based; its capabilities may be altered / upgraded when it is connected to a personal computer and the Internet via the built in USB port.
Most R/C radios operate on 30 channels in the 75 MHz band. Other 2.4GHz radios are limited to fewer than 40 channels. The React™ system combines error-resistant spread spectrum and frequency hopping technologies, providing each radio with a unique, secure virtual channel allowing hundreds of simultaneous users.
Nomadio CEO Alex Gizis says, “The React™ targets both the top end racer and the back yard basher. React™ touts glitch-less performance of the 2.4 GHz band, unmatched speed and program flexibility not offered in other radios. The React™ is a top end full featured R/C controller with a mid line radio price.

That looks sweet, like the idea on the hidden antenna but how does it compare with other ones?

Cheers

"It doesn't support Wav files (splash screens and programable music) or have a moveable screen like the Sensor, but it does have more memory which means that somewhere down the road it may end up doing more than the Sensor.

I don't know what disadvantages it may have. I do know that it won't come with any of the sensors (temp, rpm, etc) that the Sensor comes with, but you can buy those for about $20 each and pick the ones you want or don't want." -Trevor Clement
