Imagine you’re fighting a fire inside a building, a public safety officer working beyond your own border, or a paramedic trying to save the life of someone between tall buildings in a city. These are critical times when you cannot afford to lose the ability to communicate and exchange information with other team members. You need to stay connected even when you’re outside LMR coverage.

DIMETRA Connect maintains TETRA features over broadband

With the recent launch of Motorola Solutions’ DIMETRA™ Connect and MXP660 portable TETRA device at CCW 2024, devices can now be used beyond a single TETRA network, adding another layer of redundancy, leading to faster response times and safer communities. When there is weak or no TETRA coverage, DIMETRA Connect-enabled devices can automatically switchover between TETRA and Wi-Fi or LTE/4G broadband networks without any user intervention. There is no need to manage a separate set of talkgroups and configurations. 

DIMETRA Connect and MXP660 gives you the best of both worlds so you can work at your best in the most critical moments.

DIMETRA Connect is a secure solution

DIMETRA Connect maintains TETRA features and usual workflows over broadband via a firewall and DIMETRA™ Connect gateway back to the DIMETRA core network. TETRA remains the preferred bearer for all critical communications and the radio will automatically switch back to TETRA when a stable connection is available.

The communication between devices and the DIMETRA Connect gateway uses 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption and certificate based authentication. Users can still benefit from TETRA security features such as end-to-end encryption and device enable/disable.

Extending TETRA coverage leads to safer communities

DIMETRA Connect users can now maintain reliable connectivity with their colleagues in areas that they wouldn’t have been able to before:

• indoors (i.e. police officer in a police station)
• outside the range of LMR coverage (i.e. airport worker working at a remote location beyond the airport’s LMR coverage)
• dead spot mitigation (i.e. paramedic working in a valley).
