RD985 / RD985S

DMR repeaters

The RD985 and RD985S DMR repeaters from Hytera are

at the heart of analogue and digital radio networks and
were developed in line with the open ETSI standard for
DMR.

Both repeaters are characterised by their reliability and

outstanding functionality.

DMR repeaters

Highlights
Both repeaters can be operated in analogue and digital mode and are
completely compatible with analogue systems currently in use. In addition,
the RD985S is a true all-rounder. As well as DMR trunked radio (Tier III), it also
supports use in Hytera XPT and simulcast radio systems.
Both repeaters were developed according to the open ETSI DMR standard
and, thanks to their technical features, they are your perfect companion to
deliver a professional digital radio network.

The heart of professional radio systems

All the repeaters from Hytera can be connected in digital mode via IP
connection to a comprehensive radio network. In analogue mode, the
repeaters can be connected together back-to-back. Both in conventional
analogue and DMR modes (DMR Tier II), the RD985 and RD985S repeaters can
be used with the RD625 and RD965 repeaters in a radio system.

Upgradeable for greater challenges (RD985S)

The RD985S repeater supports not only conventional analogue and digital
modes, but also other modes that can be unlocked with a chargeable licence.
It can be upgraded into a base station for DMR simulcast, DMR trunked radio
(Tier III) or Hytera XPT radio systems. This means that the RD985S is a secure
investment for growing radio projects.

Dual mode and automatic change

Both repeaters can switch independently between the digital and analogue
modes, depending on the type of the receiver signal.

Secure communication
To protect your radio communications, the RD985 and RD985S repeaters offer
advanced digital encryption functions, according to the DMRA specification.
Depending on the variant, both repeaters support encryption with 40, 128 or
256 bit.
