MULTI-CHANNEL · DMR DIGITAL TRUNKING

DMR digital base station

Establishes a local private network, giving critical operations digital communication they own outright — stable, self-contained and low latency.

The DMR base station — where communication begins.

WHEN TO CHOOSE

When is DMR the right choice?

Where communication has to be self-governed and independent of any outside network, a DMR base station is the most direct answer.

Local private network
Centralised dispatch
No reliance on public networks
Emergency communications
Heavy concurrent traffic
Extending an existing DMR system
Low-latency requirements
SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS

What a DMR system gives you

Runs independently on site

The system lives in your own equipment room, so a public-network outage or an external fault does not touch field communications.

Dual-slot digital voice

One frequency carries two conversations, doubling spectrum efficiency while keeping voice clear and interference-resistant.

Priority for dispatch

Emergency and priority calls can pre-empt a channel, so the instruction gets out at the moment it matters.

Reliable and extensible

A smooth path from a single base station to a multi-carrier trunked system, with capacity added as the operation grows.

Carries data exchange and interconnection between nodes in the system.

Interfaces to external systems and other networks for interworking.

Runs call control, user management and business logic.

The transmit and receive core for digital voice and data; several units form a trunked cluster.

Consolidates the output of several repeaters into a single path.

Handles uplink and downlink interleaving and route management.

Converts RF to digital IF for transmission out over fibre.

Isolates uplink from downlink, improving communication stability.

Where coverage is needed, the DistriNET coverage system connects onto this. Explore coverage →

Capacity depends on the number of repeaters fitted; each DMR repeater provides two TDMA time slots. The cabinet is sized during system design.

DMR repeaters can operate in mixed analog/digital mode to support migration from legacy analog fleets.

Repeater status is reported to the network management system and NetFlex.

Yes. Additional repeaters can be added to the cabinet or networked from another site.
