1 Description
The Tait TB9100 base station/repeater is a robust state-of-the-art digital
fixed station that combines Tait’s proven strengths in reliability, high
performance and modular design with software-based configurability and
operation, digital signal processing and voice-over-IP technology. Also
available are a standalone P25 CG console gateway and a P25 TAG trunked
analog gateway, providing full encryption features, but no RF functionality.
The base station, console gateway and trunked analog gateway are designed
for operation in a Project 25 radio network. The base station can be
configured as a repeater or as a line-connected base station, for operation in
conventional or in trunked networks. The base station and console gateway
can also be configured for operation as a data gateway in a conventional
network. The console gateway and trunked analog gateway are used where
encryption is required on the analog line interface.
The ability of the base station to interoperate in both analog FM and digital
P25 modes, to link stations using standard Internet Protocol
communications, and to add features through software options ensures that
P25 systems designed with the TB9100 are scalable in both size and
functionality.
The base station and gateways combine industry-leading digital voice
quality with rugged design specifications and intuitive user interfaces. These
products have been designed to meet the demanding needs of the public
safety and public service sectors.
The base station’s RF interface is dual-mode analog/digital, allowing users
of APCO P25 or analog radios to communicate via the network.
Its Ethernet interface provides built-in network connectivity, allowing the
TB9100 to join with other TB9100 base stations and console gateways to
form a channel group. This network supports voice over IP and remote
management of all base stations and gateways.
The analog line allows the direct connection of third party dispatch systems.
