Cleartone DMO Gateway / Repeater mobiles using Tetra
VHF/UHF dual mode adaptors have been in active service
with UK Police Forces for over 1 year.
Proven technology. Available to-day.

The Cleartone CM9000 enhanced Tetra mobile incorporates functions and features
that have been specifically designed for use by the emergency services.
The range comprises mobile, motorcycle, base and transportable terminals that have
options to operate in DMO Gateway / Repeater mode as well as Dual and Triple mode
working with customers existing analogue VHF / UHF mobiles.
The use of DMO Gateway / Repeater options is proving an important tool where wide
area coverage and penetration problems exist, ie in- buildings / underground car parks
due to low power portables being unable to return signals.
Dual / Triple Mode Tetra / VHF-UHF operation combined into a single control head
provides system flexibility for operations of mixed digital /analogue systems.
Cleartone Tetra products are currently being exported to various users around the
World and the following UK Police Forces have selected or are currently using Lynx
enhanced Dual / Triple Mode Tetra – VHF/ UHF mobile system.

 TETRA DMO GATEWAY / REPEATER OPTION

Coverage and performance of Tetra portables operating trunked mode from inside
buildings, underground car parks etc to the level demanded by emergency
services need to be considered as operational tests indicate that problems exist.
Reception of trunked signals into certain types of building is causing problems
which are unacceptable for emergency service users.
Uplifts in key locations is a solution but are expensive, and cannot, on a cost
basis, be deployed at every poor signal location in the network.
The use of the Cleartone Tetra enhanced mobile with the DMO - Gateway option
allows the mobile to be used without any restrictions at any location within the
network, providing immediate on- scene confidence of that vital link for portables
operating inside buildings or any doubtful radio coverage area.
Using mobile DMO - Gateways is an attractive cost effective option against the
deployment of extra base stations needed to provide a total coverage network.
This upgradeable feature of the Cleartone enhanced Tetra mobile provides the
user with valuable inbuilt insurance against future possible needs that may arise
from operational experience.

MOBILE GATEWAY OPERATION

TMO
DMO

DMO Gateway mode

Portables in the same DMO talk-group are able to talk to each other and through the
mobile Gateway to control when using vehicle DMO / Gateway mode which will relay
signals between the handheld operating within the building and the control room.
Handportables will automatically switch from Direct \Mode (DMO) into DMO Gateway
mode as a vehicle at the incident activates the Gateway mode. Likewise the
handportables will return to Direct mode when the mobile de- activates the mode.
 TETRA DMO GATEWAY / REPEATER OPTION

TRANSPORTABLE / FIXED GATEWAY OPERATION

Problems with in-building coverage can also be overcome by the installation of a
Cleartone transportable / fixed DMO-Gateway equipment which would be strategically
placed inside a building from where it can be activated by the control room at any time,
by an address, to provide DMO handportable coverage inside the building.
The control room is able to monitor / record the DMO operation and have two way
communication with the handportables.

REPEATER OPERATION

DMO Repeater mode

Portables communicate through the mobile when in DMO / Repeater mode. The
Repeater 1B format (2 frequency) is adopted to avoid possible frequency interference
at incidents where multiple DMO systems are in use.
 TETRA DMO- GATEWAY SCENARIOS

Below is an example where multiple vehicles are located at an incident with DMO
Gateway activated on each vehicle using different DMO channels to talk into the
same trunked mode (TMO) talk group.

This example shows the situation where multiple vehicles located at an incident are

different Trunked mode (TMO) talk-groups.

The Cleartone mobile DMO - Gateway uses enhancements to stop the possibility
of mobile Gateway’s clashing in multiple Gateway scenarios when using the
same DMO R.F channel and talk-group.
In the example above mobile ‘A is the first vehicle to arrive on scene of the
incident and selects DMO Gateway mode. Mobile ‘B’ arrives at the scene and
selects DMO Gateway using the same DMO frequency. Mobile ‘B’ will detect the
‘presence signal’ of mobile ‘A’ and automatically switch itself from Gateway to
DMO mode.
Even though mobile ’B’ cannot switch to Gateway mode, portable ‘B’ is able to
communicate to the SwMi via mobile ‘A’ Gateway. Mobile ‘B’ continually checks
the presence signal and will revert automatically to Gateway mode if no
‘presence signal is detected.
Motorola and Sepura portables fully support the mobile DMO Gateway and
Repeater operation, and when the ‘presence signal’ is detected they will
automatically switch from DMO mode to Gateway mode and a suitable indication
is displayed on the portable that a gateway is now in use.
If no ’presence signal’ is detected the portables automatically revert back to
standard MS-MS DMO operation.
 GATEWAY/ REPEATER PIN ACTIVATION

The mobile can be upgraded without any re-programming to operate DMO- Gateway /
Repeater mode by simply entering a PIN number into the mobile via the keyboard.
Activation is simple and immediate and is ideal for users who are not sure whether they
will need these functions when initially purchasing the product and subsequently find
that under operational conditions they will need to use DMO Gateway/ Repeater mode.
This upgradeable feature of the Cleartone enhanced Tetra mobile provides the user
with valuable inbuilt insurance for future possible needs.

 TETRA DUAL MODE WORKING WITH
EXISTING VHF / UHF EQUIPMENT

The Lynx Tetra mobile is able to operate Dual Mode Tetra / VHF– UHF using the
standard Tetra control head which makes vital vehicle cabin space saving as one head
will control both mobiles.

Both the Tetra and analogue mobiles are controlled by a microprocessor interface unit
which provides on the control head clear and simple details of the relevant conditions
of both units. All legacy equipment button functions and display information including
selcal etc is replicated on the Tetra screen.

It is also possible to re-use the existing customers VHF/ UHF analogue mobiles, ie
Motorola, Bosch, AEG, etc in dual mode by using one of our comprehensive range of
Dual Mode interface adaptors

The Dual Mode configuration provides for systems that need to provide full inter-
operability with other agencies using VHF/ UHF analogue systems as well as users
who need communications beyond the Tetra networks such as pipeline networks.
