Hytera XPT Digital Trunking
Posted: Mon Sep 10, 2018 9:39 am
I was in Newcastle over the weekend attending a conference and used the overnight stay at Charlestown to scan the local airwaves.
On DSDPlus 1.101, I came across a DMR System type I had never seen before (well, there is none that I know of in metro Sydney ... I think there are some in Victoria). On one of the DSD screens it logs "XPT Beacon" and a number for 463.175 and 464.125
463.1750 - XPT DMR - DCC1 - Commonwealth Steel Company Waratah
463.6000 - XPT DMR - DCC1 - Commonwealth Steel Company Waratah
464.1250 - XPT DMR - DCC1 - Commonwealth Steel Company Waratah
Googling i found the following blurb on the system. Turns out it is a DMR Type 2 Hytera XPT psuedo trunking system.
No dedicated control channel.
XPT employs a distributed trunking protocol which does not require a dedicated control channel, which is hard to obtain, providing greater flexibility to many end users who are now able to build a trunking system in a shared channel environment.
Higher capacity.
A single XPT system can support up to eight repeaters at one site and provide up to 16 traffic channels, supporting up to 1,200 users. Each traffic channel can be customized to transmit voice or data.
Easy migration from DMR Tier 2 Conventional to XPT digital trunking.
XPT can be enabled by upgrading the firmware version of current conventional Hytera digital radios and RD98xS’ series repeaters. XPT also supports the digital functions of conventional systems, providing key digital mobile radio (DMR) benefits yet using entry level digital repeater configuration.
Extremely cost effective.
XPT is a simple solution that enables customers to migrate many aged analog Logic Trunked Radio (LTR) systems to digital, leveraging their existing infrastructure without significant capital investment. The solution is easily installed, maintained and operated, and is more cost-effective than other market options.
Background:
Hytera XPT Digital TrunkingXPT equipment can set up eight 12.5kHz FCC channels and support 16 voice channels. Specifically within a single Hytera XPT system, the repeaters broadcast the system’s status information in each frequency via a beacon signal which informs the radio of available channel resource. The radio can then switch to an available channel and slot to communicate. The result enables multiple users across various departments to quickly and easily handle critical communications and requests. There is no dedicated control channel required by a XPT system.
