EADS Defence & Security and Zetron announce system-level compatibility between two of their key technologies
EADS Secure Networks, an integrated Line of Business of EADS Defence & Security (DS), and Zetron announced today that the TMR 880 TETRA PEI Interface of EADS Secure Networks is capable of seamlessly integrating with Zetron’s newly enhanced DCS-5020 TETRA Digital Console System .
The DCS-5020 TETRA wireless console of Zetron offers innovative solutions for the increasing number of EADS TETRA users. This enhanced system can connect to a TETRA system through a number of fixed EADS TETRA radios. The DCS-5020 is based on a distributed architecture and eliminates the need for a central switch, even with multiple operator positions.
The integration of the DCS-5020 and EADS TETRA radios offers additional features and functionality to the sectors it serves, including public safety, emergency services, transportation, utilities, and private industry.
One key benefit of the enhanced DCS-5020 is that it features a multi-lingual screen display. Its on-screen and pop-up text appears in one of several languages, including Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, or Spanish.
The integrated solution also offers:
• An easy migration from conventional/PMR or MPT systems to TETRA.
• The capability to expand to 15 operator positions.
• Both voice and data capability (status, SMS, and text).
• Improved incoming emergency and call-queue functionality.
• The capability for consoles to automatically acquire the talkgroup list and aliases from the radio.
The solution also supports other TETRA features such as:
• Individual/group call (TETRA)
• Emergency call (TETRA)
• TMO/DMO (TETRA)
• Send/receive status messages (TETRA)
“The multilingual feature makes it ideal for TETRA operators in non-English speaking countries in Asia, including the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, and South Korea", says EADS Secure Networks Asia CEO, François Begaud.
"As users migrate from conventional or other platforms to TETRA, the DCS-5020 provides an interoperable solution that enables operators to manage both networks from a single position,” adds Zetron President, John Reece. “It also allows operators to set up an interconnection or “patch” between the two networks. This allows field personnel on one network to speak directly with others on their EADS network."
