Setting
new standards for high performance and reliability at optimal cost for mission critical communications
Motorola MTS 2 TETRA Base Station
Compact and lightweight, the Motorola MTS 2 is a highly deployable TETRA base station that offers mission and business critical users a full suite of features at exceptional performance with superb cost efficiency.
Compact Design. Optimum Performance. With an enhanced receiver sensitivity performance, MTS 2 delivers at least 7 dB better than the ETSI standard. With a high transmit power and good faded sensitivity, the base station enables significant coverage improvement with fewer sites, with no compromise on the grade of service. The MTS 2 offers Multi-slot Packet Data (MSPD) over an entire TETRA channel. This combines up to 4 individual packet data channels together, using a framing rate of 28.8 kbps. MSPD facilitates faster database searches, file and image transfers amongst others. Supporting a wide range of Radio Frequency Distribution Systems (RFDS) configurations, the MTS 2, a two-carrier base station, can be expanded to a four-carrier system without having to change antenna installations. Key parts of MTS 2 can be reused in a MTS 4 cabinet. Moreover, due to its small size, the MTS 2 can be easily fitted into a 19" outdoor enclosure with heat exchanger. The MTS 2 cabinet can fit into the outdoor enclosure as a whole. The MTS 2 is C-SCCH ready. It is software upgradeable to support additional control channel on the main carrier, thus increasing the existing capacity. High Security. High Reliability. For increased reliability, MTS 2 offers base radio (BR) redundancy. For instance when a unit is unavailable, it auto-switches to a backup unit. The MTS 2 comes equipped with a sophisticated inbuilt interference detection and correction mechanism. The system automatically replaces the interfered Main Control Channel (MCCH) in operation with a backup channel. The MTS 2 also supports Satellite Transmission, allowing rapid deployment of the base station in crisis situations in rural areas.

Flexible Design. Easy Maintenance. Built on IP-based architecture, the MTS 2 is compatible with legacy Motorola TETRA systems, making it easier to seamlessly integrate with the existing TETRA systems. It allows for remote software configuration downloads and removes the need for costly on-site migration and maintenance. The base radio can be hot-swapped for easy maintenance. The MTS2 comes with front access and top entry for easy cabling connection. Furthermore, the reduced size and weight of the base station will reduce site rental, installation and maintenance costs. It also provides flexible power supply options allowing the base station to operate in AC or DC mode. It has an integrated charging output to charge batteries during AC operation. Next Generation. Investment Protection Built and designed for future communications needs, the MTS 2 is upgradeable to support TETRA-2 High Speed Data services.
Designed for High Redundancy. The MTS 2 has two E1/Ethernet interfaces for easy ring configuration to promote high redundancy. The use of the E1/Ethernet ports provides redundant connection in the event of failure, ensuring alwayson connectivity. It allows more stations to be added to a network ring structure. A ring structure can support up to 10 base stations, which allows the network traffic to be re-routed in the event of a link or backhaul failure. The E1/Ethernet interface has a drop & insert feature that enables flexible and resilient connections to the switching centre. When the connection to the MSO (Main Switching Office) is broken, the base station intelligently enters into local trunking mode, allowing the same talkgroups to continue voice operations locally. To prevent unauthorised communications, site monitoring and intrusion, the new Motorola base station offers high level of security including dynamic and static Air Interface encryption and End-to-End Encryption (E2EE). In addition, the base station door is equipped with an alarm contact. Normal operation is possible without GPS.
