November 2002 - Nokia introduced the new Nokia TMR880
vehicle mounted TETRA radio at the TETRA World Congress
in Nice. Designed to meet the diverse needs of public
safety professionals, the Nokia TMR880 radio offers
versatile connectivity and advanced positioning with
a direct interface to a GPS receiver. With voice feedback,
a full color display and high output power, the Nokia
TMR880 mobile radio adds a vehicle based member to the
Nokia TETRA radio terminal family. The new radio terminal
will be available during the 2nd quarter of 2003.
"The
Nokia TMR880 is a compact and easy to use TETRA terminal
for vehicles, with direct connectivity to the applications
needed by police officers, fire and rescue teams and
border guards. Its functionality and user interface
are similar to the Nokia THR880 handheld radio that
we launched only 2 months ago. Together with the THR850
phone, Nokia now has a superior product range for the
diverse needs of public safety users", said Kenneth
Björklund, Director TETRA Terminals, Nokia Mobile Phones.
The
Nokia TMR880 features 16 programmable input and output
pins for connecting to application devices such as status
panels, external alarms and telemetry systems, as well
as a data interface without a separate connection box.
The Nokia TMR880 terminal can also be directly connected
to a GPS receiver, making it easy to implement automatic
vehicle location applications. The radio can also be
controlled from a PC using an advanced PEI application
interface with an extended AT-command set, giving convenient
control of applications.
The
Nokia TMR880 makes talk group operations both easy and
convenient. It can store the details of 1,300 different
talk groups, as well as 24 DGNA groups. Other features
include a Back key for toggling between talk groups
and selecting the home group. Scanning and Direct Mode
can be quickly activated using the Fast Menu key with
voice feedback guiding the operation.
Versatility,
usability and robustness are key requirements for a
TETRA radio. With its integrated design and compact
casing, the new terminal can easily be installed in
either a DIN-sized car radio slot, on the dashboard
or as a desktop installation. An electrical locking
mechanism is provided for DIN slot installation for
added protection and easy installation and dismounting
of the radio.
A
parallel keypad/display unit can also be connected to
the Nokia TMR880 radio. For example, in a fire engine
this allows the radio to be used both from the driver's
cabin and from the rear of the truck.
TETRA
(Terrestrial Trunked Radio) is the only open digital
trunked radio standard defined by the European Telecommunications
Standards Institute (ETSI) to meet the needs of the
most demanding professional mobile radio users.
