Airbus introduces 800MHz mini Tetra base station
Airbus Defence and Space has introduced the TB3hp, an 800MHz version of its mini Tetra (terrestrial trunked radio) base station at Critical Communications Asia 2015, taking place in Kuala Lumpur on 24-25 March.
This new version complements the 380-430MHz model and expands the company's portfolio into the 800MHz frequency band, which is used particularly in Asia and America.
The TB3hp base station offers up to 15W of radio frequency power with a power consumption of around 100W. This makes it suitable for providing radio access to Tetra communication networks for various users and in areas with temporary radio network coverage needs.
The TB3hp has the approximate dimensions of a small suitcase, making it particularly suitable for filling coverage gaps and providing hotspot coverage in places unreachable by a normal network, such as tunnels and underground car parks. It can be mounted on a wall or used in a vehicle for rapid deployment coverage.
This base station can be adapted to the available transmission network by using time-division multiplexing and internet protocol transmission. Once operational, the base station can be operated and maintained via remote connection.
