Very small and simple to install


Cassidian’s slimline TB3P TETRA base station in a single-carrier version; the dual- carrier model stands just 3cm higher


L


atest addition to Cassidian’s range of TETRA base stations is the


super-compact TB3P, which weighs a mere 10 kg. “It’s very small, it’s very easy to install”, said Olaf Kaszynski (pictured here). “What you need is only 50 watts, and you can use it in a car. A base station that needs 500 watts is not so easy to use in a car!” Suitable also for providing radio


communications indoors or in tunnels, the unit is offered in versions with one, two or four TETRA carriers. RF power output is four watts for the single-carrier version and 1·8 watts with two carriers. “You have two modes for using it”, Mr


Kaszynski continues. “If you don’t have a switch, you can use it in solo mode and you can make individual calls, group calls, SDS and other features. And the second mode is the network mode: it is a normal base station and you can use it in any TETRA network and the features are the same as other base stations. No difference. You can use it for TEDS (TETRA Enhanced Data Services) with the same features as the big base stations in TEDS mode. “For the connection to a switch, you


can use an E1 connection, you can use an IP connection, and you can use a connection by satellite.”

One of these units is installed at Cassidian’s cyber-security centre at Al Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi, where it provides an “impressive” 3D viewing experience which can be appreciated with 3D spectacles
