The new capability provides a quick, cost-effective way to add radio dispatch consoles to existing MOTOTRBO networks, either at fixed locations or in mobile command facilities, without requiring costly infrastructure connectivity.

Zetron's DCS-5020 digital console now includes an interface to Motorola MOTOTRBO digital mobile radio systems, giving operators control over a rich set of radio features.

The new capability provides a quick, cost-effective way to add radio dispatch consoles to existing MOTOTRBO networks, either at fixed locations or in mobile command facilities, without requiring costly infrastructure connectivity.  It also delivers the possibility to interconnect MOTOTRBO radios with TETRA, MPT and conventional radios as well as telephony networks.

The features enabled by the new Zetron interface include call ID decode and alias display, call alert, channel select, private and group calls, channel scanning, radio check, emergency calls, text messaging and radio stun and revive. The new interface connects DCS-5020 wirelessly to MOTOTRBO digital mobile radio systems.

Deployed widely throughout the world* with public safety, transportation and utilities, the DCS-5020 enables small to medium sized operations control rooms to combine telephony with both digital and analogue radio control. It supports combinations of up to 30 resources including up to 16 screen-based operator consoles. Distributed processing gives the DCS-5020 flexibility, scalability and robustness, delivering the high degree of resilience required for mission-critical 24/7 applications. DCS-5020 digital consoles already in-service can be retrofitted with the MOTOTRBO interface.
