Tait DMR Tier 3 is the most cost-efficient digital trunked radio platform to achieve coverage equal to analog – delivering high performance and reliable communication to the very edge of radio coverage.

Transmission range

Preserving coverage is of vital concern for utilities moving from narrowband analog to digital radio systems. Some digital radio standards such as Tetra cannot offer the same range as an analog network, and significant investment in new sites is needed to retain full PMR coverage.

Better capacity across the network

Radio coverage is not only about geographical area covered – average capacity across the area is also measured. The DMR Tier 3 platform is designed to allow reuse of divided 12.5kHz analog channels in the transition to narrowbanding.

DMR Tier 3 is able to reuse available analog radio spectrum, allowing the utility to effectively double voice channel capacity. Tait DMR Tier 3 is the no compromise choice for achieving optimum radio network capacity across a utility’s network area.

Designed for high power transmission

Some radio platforms have been specifically designed for high capacity urban network deployments. These systems are intended to operate at lower transmission powers to allow for significant levels of frequency re-use (like cellular).

Such systems are not economically viable for utilities operating in open, non-urban areas, as they would need to invest in a large number of sites to provide coverage across their network area.

Long transmission range is often essential in the utility operating environment. Based on this need, the DMR Tier 3 platform is engineered to support high power transmission.

The Tait DMR Tier 3 digital radio platform is the no compromise option for utility-scale radio coverage.
