    TB9300 base station can provide two traffic channels, two control channels, or both a traffic channel and a control channel. In an MPT network, the TB9300 operates as a control channel or as a traffic channel. The TB9300 operates with a trunking node or in fallback operation, both of which can be either trunked or conventional.

  • Page 20: Licenses

    The feature sets currently available are listed below. The base stations in a Tait DMR Tier 3 Network are controlled by a node (DMR trunking controller). Tait sells three types of node: Full, Express20 and Express6.
