Benelec BLPR2500 P25 portable base repeater

The Benelec BLPR2500 P25 portable repeater is a full duplex repeater/base station that provides a compact and flexible deployment solution for reliable communication operation. It enables rapid set-up in situations where this is normally not possible, such as in emergency or natural disaster scenarios. It can also provide solid communication operations for temporary situations such as event security or as a backup of a base system.

The repeater provides 5/25 W output power and has been configured to provide the user with maximum flexibility. It has the ability to function as a fixed-base or a stand-alone repeater and is available in all VHF and UHF bands. The internal Li-ion battery provides up to 8 h use. The lightweight construction means the unit is practical to carry to required locations without the need for transport assistance. Total weight is less than 13 kg with dimensions of 510 x 350 x 175 mm.

It has an integrated 4G/LTE and Wi-Fi IP-linking gateway capability with an option for AES 256-bit encryption. A compact, rapidly removable duplexer is also standard.

The unit is able to be powered by an external AC (100-290 VAC) or DC (9-48 VDC) source, with these ports conveniently mounted on the base of the unit. Heat sinks are mounted on the sides of the case to provide for continuous rated use of the repeater with the lid closed. In base mode, the microphone and speaker are internally mounted for easy access. External accessories include an 8 m lightweight mast and tripod with 4G and a Benelec 1/2-wave ground-independent antenna.
