MTS4

DESIGNED FOR THE FUTURE
Built and designed for future communications needs, the MTS4 is TETRA Enhanced Data Services (TEDS) ready – software upgradable to support TEDS – the platform for secure mission critical high-speed data services. Providing support for X.21, E1, IP-over-Ethernet and MPLS, the MTS4 enables operators to utilize the most efficient and cost-effective transmission networking technologies available today and in the future.

FLEXIBLE CAPACITY AND COVERAGE
The compact MTS4 is a high-performance base station with state-of-the-art capacity and coverage enhancing capabilities: • C-SCCH Ready – software upgradable to support additional control channels on the main carrier, quadrupling existing capacity. • Best-in-class transmitter output power and receiver sensitivity, together with various diversity options, enabling a reduction in the number of sites required to achieve a given level of coverage, and increased data performance and enhanced audio quality. • The flexibility of connecting up to eight BR’s to just one Rx

OPTIMISED TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP
The running costs of base station sites typically account for a significant portion of the total cost of ownership of any TETRA network. MTS4 base stations are specifically designed with advanced features that help to minimise operational expenditures. Such features enable: • Better power consumption through use of high-efficiency processing and amplification platforms – delivering significant operational cost savings over the network’s lifetime. • Reduced transmission costs – native MPLS support using IP-over-Ethernet capability means that the MTS4 can enable up to 70% savings compared with non-IP based transmission. • Reduced battery capacity requirement and low heat dissipation due to excellent power efficiency. With a strong integrated battery charger, power supply costs are kept to an absolute minimum.

RELIABLE AND EASY TO MAINTAIN
The MTS4 offers supreme reliability plus flexible access for easy servicing. Key features include: • Two E1 or Ethernet interfaces can be provided with the MTS4 to facilitate implementing link redundancy using ring configurations. Redundant E1 and Ethernet ports can be activated in the event of link failure, ensuring continuous connectivity. • Local Site Trunking – in the event of site link failure, the base station is able to operate independent of the mobile switching office, maintaining secure talk group communications throughout. • Non-GPS operation – supports operation in the absence of a GPS signal, ideally suited to underground applications. • Full redundancy of site controller and base radio subsystems including support for automatic Main Control Channel switching.

DAY AND NIGHT SECURITY
With the MTS4, there is no need to worry about theft or vandalism. The base station equipment includes the latest security features for total peace of mind: • External alarm interface supports 15 alarm inputs and 2 external control outputs. • Lockable door equipped with standard alarm contacts – an effective intrusion detection system.
