Alligator Communications Inc

Alligator Communications Inc. is a SCADA radio manufacturer based in Santa Clara, California, operating since 1991. The company is the only manufacturer producing licensed-band SCADA radios across the full VHF through microwave spectrum, covering 150 MHz to 1.4 GHz. Their radio systems operate in point-to-point and point-to-multipoint network configurations using star topology, where master units poll remote terminal units (RTUs). The product lineup includes the 1800 Master radio, 2188 (150 MHz VHF), 2288 (220 MHz), 1888B (450 MHz UHF), 2788 (700 MHz), 2888 Series, and QS1 (1.4 GHz). The 2888E model supports repeater operation via back-to-back radio pairs, extending network range and covering RF-shadowed areas while permitting concurrent IP and RS-232 data formats. All radios are protocol transparent, supporting both Ethernet IP and RS-232 asynchronous data formats. Security features include AES-256 encryption with SHA-256 secure hash key generation and optional MAC and IP address-level packet filtering. Remote management is handled via Telnet IP protocol with user-defined port assignments. Alligator also manufactures the GW300 LoRaWAN outdoor gateway for IoT and M2M applications and wireless metering devices. The company serves municipal utilities (water, sewage, electrical, security, environmental monitoring), electrical utilities, petrochemical, oil and gas, and railroad sectors.
