Page 9: Description
Description The Tait TB7300 base station is a robust state-of-the-art digital fixed station that combines Tait’s proven strengths in reliability and high performance with software-based configurability and operation, digital signal processing and voice-over-IP technology. Its Ethernet interface provides built-in network connectivity that allows the base station to join with other base stations to form a channel group. -
Page 10: Software Applications
Software Applications The TB7300 operates in both P25/AS-IP and DMR/MPT networks. Within these networks, the base station utilizes distinct P25/AS-IP and DMR/MPT software applications. 1.1.1 Base Station Features The following is a list of base station features for both P25/AS-IP and DMR/MPT software applications: Fully compliant with the P25 Common Air Interface. -
