Intro to DMR

Why choose Tait DMR Tier 3

2014 Tait Limited

Intro to DMR

What are the benefits of DMR

over analog?

More capacity
from the same number
of frequencies

2014 Tait Limited

Clearer voice clarity

at low received
signal levels
near the edge
of coverage

Intro to DMR

Greater coverage
with audio quality
Compared to analog,
with a sharp drop
at full range

Benefits of DMR Tier 3

Doubling of capacity with existing channels

Easy and cost-efficient upgrade from analog
Longer battery life and greater power efficiency
Native data support
Superior audio quality
An open standard which ensures security of supply and cost
competitiveness

2014 Tait Limited

Intro to DMR

Native data support

We seem to have a wide range of communications systems for a range of uses.
Voice, SCADA, telematics etc. Is there a way that this can be consolidated?
DMR delivers:
Voice as the primary service
Multi-level data, from status to IP packet
Freedom from one size fits all
APIs and solution support such as Location Services

2014 Tait Limited

Intro to DMR

DMR-standard data capabilities

if this fails...

Node

SNMP manager
computer

then...
If there is only a single node, at each site a base station takes over and exercises control
channel and basic node functions. Local individual and group calls can be made. Short data,
status messages, supplementary services and packet data are not supported.
If the control node fails, another node at a different geographical location automatically takes
over.
If one of the switching nodes fails, the control node distributes the work among the other
switching nodes
If there is only one SNMP manager, central monitoring of network is not available.
Maintainers can still monitor individual nodes and base stations.
If there is a backup server, it will take over and little disruption should occur.

Call record computer

If there is no redundancy, when the application restarts it reloads the call records from the
moment before the failure occurred.
Call records are kept by the node for at least three months, allowing a reasonable period for
the computer to be repaired, before information is lost.

Delivering high availability

if this fails...

Site-node
communications

then...
At the isolated site, one base station takes over, functioning as control channel and network
controller. It provides signaling messages for the control channel to transmit and it can handle
local (not intersite) individual and group calls. Short data, status messages, supplementary
services and packet data are not supported.

The result depends on the network topology. The network could turn into two independent
networks, each with a control node. To mitigate this, we recommend grouping nodes at
particular locations. However, at least two locations are needed for geographical redundancy.
The remaining operational base station uses TDMA to provide the control channel and a single
All but one base station
traffic channel.
at a site
Node-node
communications

Control channel

The network automatically takes the channel out of service and raises an alarm. The traffic
channel with the lowest channel number takes over the role of control channel. (Any traffic
channel can take over.) Channel capacity is reduced by two (or four, if a full subrack fails).

Traffic channel

Channel capacity is reduced by two (or four, if a full subrack fails). The network automatically
takes the RF channel(s) out of service.

Network gateway

The devices attached to the gateway lose service. To mitigate this, multiple network gateways
may be used.

Conventional and MPT migration

MPT Classic migration is similar to MPT-IP:
MPT typically uses 600ohm leased line circuits, not IP
More MPT network equipment will be redundant (e.g. SCUs, DAS cards,
inter-site modems etc.)

Conventional to DMR is simpler again, however:

There are many different types of conventional networks deployed
Each will require approach specific to that system

How do the conventional analog and DMR

systems work together?
DMR Call Process
1. DMR radio generates group call
2. Node includes Network gateway in
the call.
3. Network gateway passes voice
through 4 wire E&M to analog
base station

Analog Call Process

1. Analog base station transmits
2. Gateway passes call to node
3. Node sets a group call to the group
to which the network gateway (and
analog base station belongs)

Tait Solution
EA Networks had a dual objective: to make its workforce safer and,
at the same time, more efficient. Experts from Tait and EA Networks
worked closely together to design a solution that means power outages
can be restored more quickly and overall grid performance is better
maintained, delivering a higher-quality service to their customers. The
improved communications also means field workers are far safer and
more connected.
Tait provides continuous network maintenance, monitoring and support as
a key element of the overall solution.

SOLUTION OVERVIEW:

Vietnam Ministry of Public Security (VMOPS):

Traffic Police pilot project
Tait Solution
The Traffic Police in Vietnam currently operate on an existing
analog conventional network however they wanted to move to a private
digital trunked system that would deliver benefits such as greater
coverage and clearer voice communications.
To mitigate the risk of a technology migration, VMOPS chose to proceed
with a pilot phase before implementing a full-scale,
five-six site digital trunked system.
This approach has helped them to avoid the budget constraints
associated with large, single implementations and will help to ensure
support for the change as the project progresses.

SOLUTION OVERVIEW:
Lihir Gold Mine, Papua New Guinea
Tait Solution
The Lihir Gold Mine is subject to extreme levels of heat, humidity,
moisture and dust as it is situated in the caldera of an extinct volcano that
is geothermally active. In these harsh conditions they needed robust radio
equipment and a communications system that would seamlessly link
workers across the mine.
A Tait system, in various forms, has been in operation at Lihir Mine since it
first opened in 1996, which is testament to the satisfaction and
acceptance of the Tait MPT 1327 system in this challenging mining
environment. They will eventually migrate from their analog MPT 1327
trunked system to a digital DMR Tier 3 trunked system.
The sales, ongoing maintenance, and support for the system and terminal
units is provided by PBS Communications.
