Demonstrating commitment to DMO

TETRA terminal manufacturers have demonstrated their commitment to Direct Mode Operation (DMO) - transmission from terminal to terminal without the use of infrastructure. Suppliers submitted a total of 14 terminal models for interoperability testing.

The two-week session was hosted in London by PITO and managed by ISCOM, the official TETRA certification body. The tests were designed to assess Direct Mode 'Core' and 'Repeater' functionality. A separate test session for DMO 'Gateway', the final DMO equipment type, is planned for Q2 2007. Certificates from the test sessions are published during April 2007.
