In October of 2004, Horizon Hobby rocked the RC world by unveiling one of the most revolutionary products to ever hit the market: Spektrum 2.4GHz Digital Spectrum Modulation Technology. Similar technology in the computer and telephone industries has eliminated interference, increased signal resolution, and provided a stronger link between the base units and the transmitting units. Since then, racers and now pilots have embraced Spektrum technology, and the future is even more promising.

TELEMETRY

One of the most exciting aspects of 2.4GHz DSM technology is the capability of two-way data transfer. This allows surface users access to real-time telemetry. With Spektrum Telemetry Modules, racers can monitor motor or engine temperatures, receiver pack or main battery pack voltage, and rpm, along with recording lap times. The telemetry add-on modules make it possible for racers to get much more out of practice time.

THE FUTURE

So what does the future hold for Spektrum users? Design, refinement, and testing continue today and will provide even more technical advances and breakthroughs in the future. Spektrum has been adopted by a large number of the hobbyists, and each one enjoys the lack of radio interference they deserve. Not only has Spektrum been welcomed by users with open arms, it has also been decorated with several prestigious awards. The readers of RC Driver Magazine voted the Spektrum DSM Module as the 2005 Break-Out product of 2005. Additionally, the editors of RC Car Action declared that the Spektrum Module System was the Technical Innovation of 2005. Spektrum technology has also won numerous other awards from countless other publications and trade shows. Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM Technology is by far one of the most dynamic and revolutionary products to ever hit the market. The best is yet to come.
