Zetron’s Model 390 TETRA Desktop Remote Now Supports Motorola’s MTM800e Mobile Radio

Zetron, a leading provider of mission-critical communications solutions, announced in early June that its Model 390 TETRA desktop remote now includes an interface to the Motorola MTM800e mobile radio. This expands the flexible and cost-effective Model 390’s already considerable TETRA capabilities even further. In addition to the Model 390, Zetron’s offers a wide range of TETRA radio dispatch solutions, such as its Advanced Communications (Acom) system for larger communication centers, and its DCS-5020 digital console system for midsized applications.

Access to TETRA functionality
The Zetron Model 390 TETRA desktop remote, which looks very much like a conventional desk phone, gives users access to TETRA functionality through a dedicated interface. In addition to the new MTM800e interface, the Model 390 also has interfaces available for Motorola MTM800 and MTM700 TETRA radios.

Eager customers
“The Model 390 provides a unique, valuable and highly complementary enhancement to Motorola’s popular MTM800e radio and to earlier generations of TETRA radios,” said Zetron’s EMEA vice president and general manager, Alan Pinnegar. “Even though the Model 390 MTM800e interface has only recently been introduced, we’ve already delivered several thousand units to customers who are eager to make use of its expanded functionality.”

The flexible M390
The Model 390 adds considerable flexibility to a TETRA-based radio network. For example, up to 15 Zetron Model 390s can be connected by conventional cabling to a single TETRA radio located up to 600 meters away, reducing deployment and installation costs. This enables the radio to be placed in the best radio coverage area, away from computers and other sensitive equipment that could either be disturbed by radio radiation or could interfere with radio reception. An optional interface enables out-of-coverage or remote access to TETRA networks through dial-up telephony, ISDN or private circuit.
