- Use frequency 433,92 – 868,35 MHz
- Type of code: FDS technology
- FDS = FAAC DIGITAL SIGNATURE: Radio protocol based on frequency modulation with top performance in terms of range and battery life; radio transmission is protected with AES-128 symmetric encryption algorithm with 128bit key. The authenticity of the remote controls is verified by means of a chain of FAAC customized security certificates.
- BD = BIDIRECTIONAL: Transmitters and receivers are “transceivers”, are therefore able to exchange information with each other.
- Advantages:
- Maximum security against cloning obtained by the advanced security scheme empowered by the adoption of Secure Vault™ (PSA™ certified Level 3) and TrustZone® hardware technologies: the “state-of-the-art” to secure digital financial transactions and IoT High Security devices/networks.
- Double frequency: transmitters and receivers are able to communicate at 868MHz-433MHz in time sharing, no more need to choose the working frequency in advance, thus simplifying the management of installation/maintenance activities.
- Bidirectional: BD transmitters are able to:
- – Provide feedback by the receiver of the reception of a command
- – Query the status (closed/not closed) of the automation
- TAG integrated: BD transmitters are equipped with an integrated TAG compatible with XTR B readers.
- Ease of registration: new simplified registration/management procedures of the radio transmitters both via SELF LEARNING and direct registration on the receiver.
- SLH compatible: FDS transmitters can, in case of need, be used on exisiting SLH systems.
- PHYGITAL solution: FDS transmitters are the first FAAC PHYGITAL trasmitters.
- Thanks to the Simply Connect integration the complete remote management can be achieved (addition of individual or group of transmitters via Matrix-Code, possibility to remove, enable, disable transmitters and manage the operating time bands) with no need of using dedicated tools and being onsite.

Frequently Asked Questions
FDS stands for Frequency Division System, which is FAAC's advanced rolling code radio technology that provides secure, encrypted communication between transmitters and the receiver. The "BD" indicates a bidirectional capability, meaning the system can both receive commands from transmitters and send confirmation signals back, providing feedback to the user that their command has been received and executed.
Operating across two frequencies gives the system greater flexibility and resilience. Different frequency bands perform differently depending on environmental factors such as interference from other wireless devices or physical obstructions. Dual-frequency capability ensures more reliable communication between the remote transmitter and the gate receiver in a wider range of real-world conditions.
The bidirectional function allows the transmitter to receive confirmation from the receiver that the gate command has been successfully processed. This means you get positive feedback — such as an LED flash or beep on the remote — confirming the gate has responded to your command, rather than having to visually verify gate movement every time.
The FDS rolling code encryption changes the transmitted code with every single use, making it virtually impossible for an unauthorised device to capture and replay a valid code. This provides a high level of security against the remote relay attacks and code-grabbing techniques that can compromise fixed-code systems.
The system supports a substantial number of registered transmitters, making it suitable for residential properties with multiple users as well as commercial sites where many staff members or residents need individual access. We can advise on the exact transmitter capacity and assist with programming all required remotes.
