Two-way Radio

If you work in public safety, energy, or transportation, you know one thing: your communication network has to be rock-solid. That's why at Hytera, we designed the DS-6250S DMR Trunking Cube Base Station to be compact, smart—and unbelievably tough. This base station isn't just weather-resistant. It's engineered to keep your network running when everything else fails. Here's a closer look at how it's built, and why that matters to you.

Weather-Proof, Worry-Free

The DS-6250S is IP68-rated, which means it's completely sealed against dust and can survive being submerged in water. That's not just for show—this kind of protection is critical for outdoor and exposed installations, especially in places like mountain tops, coastal areas, or construction sites.

On top of that, it handles lightning surges up to 20kA. So even if your tower takes a hit during a thunderstorm, your DS-6250S won't skip a beat. That means less downtime, fewer emergency repairs, and a network you can count on—rain or shine.

Tough in the Cold, Tough in the Heat

In winter zones like Siberia or northern China, cold starts are brutal. But not for the DS-6250S. It cold-starts and runs smoothly at -40°C, and we've tested it non-stop for 35 days in that environment.

And in the Middle East or hot coastal regions? It's just as reliable. The DS-6250S keeps operating at +55°C—Even when covered with sand, which affects heat dissipation, the internal temperature is well over +55°C.

So whether you're supporting public safety in snowstorms or managing oil fields in desert heat, you get uninterrupted operation and peace of mind—no extra cooling systems required.

Sandstorms? No Problem

You won't find a single moving part in the DS-6250S's cooling design—no fans to clog, no vents to block. During our tests, it withstood Level 17 sandstorms (240 km/h winds) for over a month. This is a big deal in places like deserts, high plains, and industrial zones. Less dust buildup means longer equipment life, better signal quality, and less downtime for cleaning and maintenance. For operators in mining, oil, or infrastructure, that's real savings.

Redundancy That Keeps You Connected: 1+1 Backup

In mission-critical communications, one small failure can cause big problems. That's why the DS-6250S supports 1+1 redundancy on key modules, like the baseband control board and power amplifier. If the primary module fails, the backup takes over automatically and instantly. There's no need for manual intervention or rebooting. That means no dropped calls, no blackout zones, and no interruptions—even during a hardware fault.

In real terms? Police departments stay in touch. Fire crews stay coordinated. Utility teams keep working. Your operation stays smooth, safe, and connected.

Designed for the Field, Trusted by Professionals

From the oil fields of the Sahara Desert to emergency services in the frigid Arctic Circle, the DS-6250S has proven its worth. The MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) exceeds 100,000 hours, which means fewer breakdowns and fewer service calls. But more importantly, it's designed with your daily reality in mind. Harsh weather. Limited space. No time to babysit a fragile base station. You just want something that works—and keeps working.

We didn't build the DS-6250S for labs or showrooms. We built it for the field—for people who don't have time to worry about whether their comms gear will hold up.

It's compact. It's smart. And it's strong enough to stand tall where other systems fail.

 

If you're looking to simplify your infrastructure while getting more coverage and more reliability, the DS-6250S might be the partner you've been waiting for.
