1 INTRODUCTION

Special ops and security detail teams requiring enhanced,
Conventional, two-way radio network coverage can look to the
PDR8000 Portable Digital Repeater as their solution of choice
when on the move. Designed by Futurecom Systems Group in
collaboration with Motorola Solutions with these special teams
in mind, the lightweight suitcase is suited for discreet travel
whereas the Rackmount form factor is designed to fit in a
standard 19" rack
Set up the PDR8000 suitcase at a special event or incident
to swiftly provide local P25 or analog FM, on-scene
portable radio coverage. Connect to your dispatch console
wherever it may be via a V.24 (for P25) or Ethernet IP (Analog or P25) connection.
The platform the PDR8000 is based on, has been in the field
since 2006. Known generically as the DVR (Digital Vehicular
Repeater), this platform has an installed base of 30,000+ units
serving public safety first responders worldwide. For the
PDR8000, the DVR's transceiver has been optimized to
minimize its weight and size, taking advantage of high
efficiency fans not available in the vehicle repeater application.
Futurecom's PDR8000 transceiver platform benefits
from over a decade of harsh field service and proven
success.
