4 extras SOLO BASE STATION extras SOLO is a compact single-carrier base station. The SOLO builds on the established advantages of the extras range, but in a compact format, to meet the requirements of users with limited space availability. It offers leading edge, spectrum-efficient, TETRA base station IP connectivity in a very limited footprint. There is also the possibility of using two SOLOs together, either by utilising their dual carrier capability to expand capacity or using them in redundant configuration to provide a back-up facility. FEATURES Small and compact Deployable individually or in a network of singleand multi-carrier base stations Low energy consumption (130W) Provides full TETRA functionality with 25W output Conforms to all relevant ETSI-Standards and TIP specifications High receiver sensitivity Extended fall-back mode and duplicate user database End-to-End and Air Interface encryption Easily transportable Outstanding operational efficiency Provides excellent back-up facility Full range of management tools (gateways, dispatcher etc) Absence of mast-mounting requirement simplifies installation and maintenance Provides excellent security capabilities 4

GATEWAYS (PSTN/SDS/PACKET DATA) Facilitating communication with / via other systems is crucial. Gateways provide the key interface between Sepura base stations and other critical systems.

12 GATEWAYS (PSTN/SDS/PACKET DATA) Facilitating communication with / via other systems is crucial. Gateways provide the key interface between Sepura base stations and other critical systems. Specifically; The SDS Gateway facilitates the use and sending of text messaging. It allows text messaging into / out of a dispatcher, which is particularly relevant in a control room environment. It allows storing and forwarding of SDS messages, for when a subscriber is not on the network, and also enables the network load to be reduced, as SDS messages received do not then need to be re-transmitted over the air. The PABX Gateway facilitates voice communications on the public telephone network, thus enabling users to make phone calls from their TETRA radio to office-based workers and to members of the public. The Packet Data Gateway facilitates the use of IP based data transmission between subscriber and network. FEATURES Stand-alone gateways Sit on separate infrastructure (standard laptops) Dedicated applications Allow the solution to be designed to the requirements of the customer No specialist hardware means cost of ownership is reduced Reliability, robustness and speed of operation 12
