What is GSM and Tetra?

TETRA is a technology that was designed specifically for the private mobile radio market, with public safety features at the fore. GSM-R, however, was modified from GSM, a public radio network standard, for use in railway operations – a private mobile radio environment.

What are GSM radios?

What is TETRA and DMR?

While TETRA is designed to support high traffic volumes with small cells and a large number of channels, DMR works with large cells similar to analog systems, but DMR isn’t optimized to manage many channels. This point is important, because decreasing the cell radius may require more sites to cover the same area.

Is TETRA a VHF?

DAMM is excited to be launching the world’s first VHF TETRA radio at CCW 2019. With the new VHF FT5 radio, it becomes possible to utilize the extra coverage that can be obtained with VHF and maintain all the industry-leading features offered with TETRA.
