Hytera, a world leading solution provider of professional mobile radio communications, facilitated ESPN a smooth and successful live broadcasting for the 14-day tennis game with its latest XPT Digital Trunking solution.

With Novak Djokovic winning his second US Open title on September 14th (GMT +8), the Grand Slam tennis tournament came to an end at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York. Hytera, a world leading solution provider of professional mobile radio communications, facilitated ESPN a smooth and successful live broadcasting for the 14-day tennis game with its latest XPT Digital Trunking solution.

As the primary broadcaster of the tournament, ESPN has to broadcast over 40 games to the US and international audiences. Considering the practical needs of the broadcaster, Hytera, partnering with MCL, deployed the XPT Digital Trunking solution with 8 carriers and a secondary 7 carriers system, 1200 DMR handheld PD785 radios, for a total of 90 talk groups to successfully facilitate the ESPN crew in broadcasting.

Hytera XPT Digital Trunking was launched at the International Wireless Communications Expo in March this year. The newly launched product enables customers to double their capacity while leveraging their current spectrum resource, in ways that are simpler and much less expensive than other market options.
