Challenge
In daily operation, KFUPM leaders and staffs worked with a MPT radio system. However they found the voice quality was not good, especially when they were near the boundary of coverage and system lacked data service.
The customer wanted to build a safe & reliable digital communication network integrated with their existing telephone system, in which radios work together with their mobiles. Besides that, they also required more functions like AVL, visualized dispatching system, and voice recording system for playback. In addition, customers also required heavy duty terminals suitable for the dusty and hot weather in KSA to support their daily work.
Solutions
After the discussion with the customers and a detailed on-site survey, Hytera got to know the main requirements of the customer. In order to meet all of them, Hytera provided a full DMR solution.
Hytera provided a full-redundancy Base Station, with BSCU hot-standby, PSU, MCCH redundancy and UPS solution to guarantee the security and reliability of the system.
To ensure the safety, Hytera also provided the system with Authentication, ESN check, and AES 256 bits Encryption.
Besides that, Hytera provides NMS, DWS, Voice Recording System and some other feature as some individual customer needs, like kill, stun, revive, etc.
To integrate with the telephone system, Hytera provided PSTN/PABX gateway and SMS alarm modem, which can send alarming message to mobiles.
