Motorola TEDS-ready MTS1 and MTS4E

Claimed to be the world’s smallest TETRA base station - the TEDS-ready (TETRA enhanced data service) MTS1 has been launched. Motorola is also launching the world’ first multi-band base station - the high-capacity MTS4E.

The MTS1 is said to be reliable, rugged and easily deployable for indoor or outdoor coverage. It features IP66 weather resistance and provides wall- and pole-mounted installation options for enhanced coverage inside buildings and inside tunnels.

The company has also launched the MTS4E, said to be the world’s first multi-band TETRA base station and providing a solution for maximising network capacity for operators with access to multiple frequency bands.

The base station has been designed to handle future communications needs and can support TETRA enhanced data services (TEDS) for secure, high-speed data, allowing it to provide a 20x increase in data capacity and enhanced support for media applications.

It provides support for E1, IP-over-ethernet and multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), enabling operators to use more efficient and lower-cost next-generation transmission networking technologies.

It includes eTETRA functionality allowing support for base radios operating in multiple frequency bands using the same control channel, delivering practical solutions for those users with access to additional spectrum and with increasing capacity needs.
