Schomandl announced today that the company is adding a new high value and comprehensive portfolio of DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) portable and mobile two-way radios and repeaters to their distribution portfolio.

Schomandl, a German designer and manufacturer of critical communications products and solutions, will offer Excera products in selected European countries: Germany on an exclusive basis and Austria, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Denmark, Norway, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Spain, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria und Malta on a non-exclusive basis.

“We are excited about the cooperation with Excera as their product philosophy is a perfect match with the one we have for our own antenna and test equipment products: High quality and robust products targeted for professional users to make the most of their radio investments” says Felix Thimm, Schomandl-Sales VP.

The company will exhibit the new DMR product range at booth A12 during Critical Communication World 2018 in Berlin, Germany.

DMR is a worldwide digital radio standard for PMR (Private Mobile Radio) users developed by ETSI, European Telecommunications Standards Institute, and the next generation of affordable digital two-way radios systems for many existing analogue PMR users.

Excera manufactures a full range of high quality portables, mobile radios, base stations and repeaters in the VHF (136-174) MHz and UHF (350-520) MHz frequency range. It's terminals feature DMR Tier 2 and Tier 3 functionality as well as support for DMR simulcast systems. In addition, Excera manufactures both Tier 2 base stations (repeaters) and DMR Tier 3 trunked system infrastructure products. The  products are fully compliant to the DMR standard and offer innovative and unique features for DMR terminals such as:

  • Full duplex on both the vehicle mobile terminals as well as the 8000 series hand portables.
  • Direct Mode for coverage outside the range of a base station that allows the use of both time slots to provide two simultaneous calls on a single frequency.
  • Backwards compatibility in analogue mode enabling an easy, efficient conversion from analogue to digital.
  • Terminal support operation in analogue trunked radio networks.
