FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Tait DMR channel controller

• The TN9300 channel controller's main functions are to allow more flexibility of logical channel assignment, centralized call records, and gateway function to external interfaces.
• Its innovative software architecture is composed of multiple functional layers: the Linux operating system, the Tait DMR channel controller application, and the Tait Admin application responsible for managing the hardware platform.
• Other core network applications can also be present, such as the channel group manager application, enabling DMR voting and simulcast, as well as the G.711 connector for SIP/G.711 integrations.
• Our commitment to DMR open-standards ensures opportunities for multi-vendor solutions with standardized interfaces.
• A single-sourced DMR conventional network reduces the risk of network elements not inter-operating, and also provides one point of call for network service and support.

Scalable and flexible for efficient and cost-effective network design

• Highly flexible and scalable, the Tait DMR conventional systems are tailored to market size requirements with an optional channel controller.
• The Tait TN9300 server options are also available in 2 levels: Low or Mid. These levels allow the hardware platform to match the system capacity desired.
• The TN9300 channel controller architecture is inherited from the DMR trunked node controller, thus allowing a smooth migration from DMR conventional to DMR trunking if required.
• The TN9300 ensures: Maximum spectrum efficiency with 2-slot TDMA.
• Connection to legacy analog consoles using a Network Gateway and also to digital consoles.
• Connection to voice recorder equipment.
• Communication with PSTN connections.
• Flexible network design with IP connectivity.

Secure communications

• Network and information security ensures private communications.
• The TN9300 offers a range of access levels to protect against unauthorized network changes.
• Network access logs provide a historical record of changes, should audit trailing be required.
• The TN9300 channel controller provides control functions over the radio units like radio check and radio enable/disable.

Remote management for greater operational efficiency

• The web-based user interface allows easy remote configuration and management of system elements, including: Site and wide area group management, Software upgrades to ensure your network runs in an optimal manner, System/network configuration changes, External interface configuration and monitoring, IP address changes, SNMP v2c.
• Auditing capabilities, such as log files with selectable logging levels, and an audit trail to identify system changes.
• Call records, system alarms, and event logs.

Robust design provides multiple levels of redundancy for reliable communications

• A Tait DMR network has multiple levels of redundancy to ensure operations continue in the event of server failure. This includes system channel controller redundancy and isolated site operation.
• High availability server clusters are constantly mirrored and changeover within seconds if there is a hardware or software failure. Fall-back mode also ensures the network continues to operate even if a site is disconnected from the network.

Data Services

• Embedded signaling within voice for location and talker ID.
• Short data messages for location, status, and text.
• Packet data over traffic channels for workforce management, telemetry, and customer-specific applications.
• IP Data capabilities.
• Improved worker safety with both voice and data.
• DMR supports multiple call types: group calls, emergency, unit-to-unit, data messaging (status and text), supplementary services.

Future-proofed to protect your investment

• DMR is an efficient digital communications solution and a logical replacement for analog conventional networks. Tait DMR solutions are compliant with the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) DMR standards and interfaces, ensuring network interoperability and easy expansion in the future.

Media Recording

• Tait TN9300 DMR networks can be provided with the ability to record voice calls and metadata such as user or group ID.
• Media recorders can be connected to dispatch equipment (for recording calls involving the dispatcher) or to the Tait DMR channel controller (for recording all calls).
