  • Page 10: Description

    The ability of the base station to link stations using standard Internet Protocol communications, and to add features through software options ensures that systems designed with the TB9300 are scalable in both size and functionality. Its Ethernet interface provides built-in network connectivity. This network supports voice-over-IP in DMR networks, and remote management of all base stations via a web browser.

  • Page 19: Applications

    Applications The TB9300 is designed for operation in a Tait TN9300 DMR Tier 2 conventional radio network, a Tait TN9300 DMR Tier 3 trunked radio network, an MPT-IP network, or as an analog conventional repeater. In a DMR Tier 2 conventional network it can operate as a stand-alone repeater, or as a member of a multi-site system (under the supervision of a DMR conventional node).

  • Page 20: Licenses

    The central voter and satellite licences are alternatives. The base station is fully functional without them. 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, Express and Access.
