Tests carried out included group, individual and all call voice calls. All mandatory tests were passed and the results and log files were independently reviewed by the DMR Association Technical Working Group prior to the certificate being issued.

Simoco Group successfully completed interoperability (IOP) testing for its Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) Tier 2 terminals with Selex Elsag in Milan, Italy. The testing took place between terminals from the Simoco Xd DMR range (SD650 portables and SDM610 and SDM630 mobiles) and the Selex ECOS-D RGW4000 base station.

Tests carried out included group, individual and all call voice calls. All mandatory tests were passed and the results and log files were independently reviewed by the DMR Association Technical Working Group prior to the certificate being issued.

“Multivendor working is one of the major benefits of DMR as this is the way that we will ultimately drive down costs of ownership and help customers integrate radios into the heart of their communications strategy,” Simoco Group CEO Ian Carr said. “This is a major step forward to achieving that goal and I would like to thank all concerned, including Selex Elsag and the DMR Association for their collaboration.”

“Developments in DMR technology and the growth of available Tier 2 and Tier 3 products and applications are key to the success of the standard in the market in a process of continual improvement,” said Andy Grimmett, chair of the DMR Association Technical Working Group. “The number of IOP tests is a testament to the rapid uptake of DMR technology as is the growing number of manufacturers that are now selling or in the process of building products built to the standard.”
