Combined with radio systems, video systems and easy to use software, you will find that SCADA can be a tremendous improvement in productivity.

Pseudo Trunk is a function innovated by Hytera. This function is used to assign two time slots dynamically in direct mode. When one slot is busy, the subscriber will have communication on the other slot automatically. Thus, a channel can use two time slots at the same time for two calls taking place with it. Pseudo Trunk realizes the dual-time-slot work in the conventional system, and it also supports the dynamic distribution of the time slots for communication transmission in Repeater mode. DMR protocol adopts TDMA technology, dividing the 12.5 KHz channel into two time

slots, so that two users can share the same channel without interfering with each other. In practice, however, in Direct mode the subscriber can only transmit signals and data on one slot, which means that the other slot is wasted; in Repeater mode, the subscriber can only transmit and receive signals and data on the designated slot, disabling it to use the other slot as well. Hence, to make use of the unused slot will greatly increase the frequency efficiency. This digital function manifests a big advantage over analog technology.

Having been turned on, the subscriber will verify the activities of the current channel before transmission. It will transmit on Slot 1 directly if this slot is free, otherwise, it will switch to Slot 2 automatically. Once both slots are occupied, the subscriber will determine whether to transmit on Slot 1 according to the settings at TX Admit under CPS; In case of active analog carrier detected, the former situation shall apply.

In Pseudo Trunk mode, you can prevent a slot from being occupied by designating the specific conditions to enable it. Such designation will allow the subscriber to transmit on the specific slot but will not affect the normal reception of data and voice signals from any slot. By optimizing the use of channels, this feature makes the communication system more orderly and manageable. Pseudo Trunk only supports voice service, data service and auxiliary functions such as alarm and kill.

The IP Site Connect digital solution uses the internet to extend the coverage of your DMR communication system no matter where you're located. You can communicate easily among geographically dispersed locations across the city, state, or country.

You can create wide area coverage and automatically roam from one coverage area to another with no manual intervention. Or you can enhance coverage at a single site like a high-rise building that contains physical barriers. IP Site Connect enables you to extend the voice and data communication capability of your workforce beyond the levels two-way radio has achieved before. This means dramatically improved customer service and increased productivity.

Features

• Allows you to share voice and data applications such as text messaging or GPS-location tracking across an unlimited geographical area
• Expands coverage for conventional users by allowing you to network multiple repeaters at a single site or dispersed locations
• Gives system administrators the ability to monitor and control repeaters within your analog or digital system
• Keys up all radios on a wide area channel, allowing users to monitor communications from remote locations in their network
• Enables users to seamlessly roam between sites of a wide area system without having to physically change channels
• Utilize new DMR radios, repeaters, and data applications—or existing DMR equipment via a software upgrade (if available)
• Improves overall business communications and visibility by allowing you to track or send a message to any device in a wide area from a single server

IP Connect Key Benefits

Simple Deployments
IP Connect supports Hytera Repeater connectivity over a variety of widely available IP networks, including the internet, private wide area networks, LANs and VPNs. If the existing repeaters are already Hytera, no new hardware is needed to create this wider area radio network, simply install an IP connect license and configure the repeater.

Local and Wide Area Channel Programming
In a Hytera IP Connect system, Talkgroups can be programmed to call users only on the local repeater, or across the IP Connected multi-site network. This is especially handy for school districts, where each school campus can have its own local repeater communications but are always available to emergency broadcasts or any other calls that need to be heard across all campuses.

Carries True DMR Protocol
Adding Hytera IP Connect to your repeaters carries the DMR protocol. That means your existing DMR radios, regardless of manufacturer, will work on the extended IP Connect radio system for flexible deployments without being locked into proprietary systems.

Convenient and Familiar Operation
Because the IP Connect uses DMR protocol, users do not need to learn a new radio system. Group Calls, Individual Calls, Emergency Call still work as they normally do.

Enhanced Coverage
IP Connect is perfect to add additional coverage to shadowed, or poor coverage areas. Areas like parking garages, below ground floors.

Application Example – Site-to-Site Call

In this example, an organization has multiple sites, and each site has regular radio traffic within its location, but sometimes they need to speak to another site. IP connect can make this happen – and it is as easy as changing channels on a radio.

When the system is configured, call groups can be defined for the radio channels to talk to groups of local users at each site, or over IP Connect to groups and individuals at other sites. Multiple channels (talk groups) can be defined for each site and for the IP Connect locations.

• Site 1 user changes channel on the radio to the Site 3 channel and the radio traffic is sent to the Site 1 repeater
• The Site 1 repeater sends that radio traffic through the IP network
• The Site 3 repeater receives that radio traffic from the IP network and sends the traffic to the appropriate users in the Site 3 channel.
• All of this works in real time as if the users were at the same location

Application Example – Site to All Sites
If there is an emergency or critical information that needs to be broadcast to all users at all sites, the “all call” channel can be programmed into all the radios. When a call is broadcast using that channel, everyone hears it – regardless of the group or site location

IP Connect is a reliable and cost-effective way to provide instant individual and group calling across multiple locations. If the existing repeaters are already Hytera, no new hardware is needed to create this wider area radio network; only licensing is needed. The H-Series HR1062 Repeater supports IP-Connect, and any DMR Two-Way Radios that are fully compliant with the DMR standard can be used since the repeaters are using the IP network as a carrier for the DMR traffic.
