RD985 DMR Repeater for Small Radio Networks

The RD985 and RD985S DMR repeaters from Hytera are at the heart of analogue and digital radio networks and were developed in line with the open ETSI standard for DMR.
Both repeaters are characterised by their reliability and outstanding functionality.

Highlights

Both repeaters can be operated in analogue and digital mode and are completely compatible with analogue systems currently in use. In addition, the RD985S is a true all-rounder. As well as DMR trunked radio (Tier III), it also supports use in Hytera XPT and simulcast radio systems.
Both repeaters were developed according to the open ETSI DMR standard and, thanks to their technical features, they are your perfect companion to deliver a professional digital radio network.
The heart of professional radio systems
All the repeaters from Hytera can be connected in digital mode via IP connection to a comprehensive radio network. In analogue mode, the repeaters can be connected together back-to-back. Both in conventional analogue and DMR modes (DMR Tier II), the RD985 and RD985S repeaters can be used with the RD625 and RD965 repeaters in a radio system.
Upgradeable for greater challenges (RD985S)
The RD985S repeater supports not only conventional analogue and digital modes, but also other modes that can be unlocked with a chargeable licence. It can be upgraded into a base station for DMR simulcast, DMR trunked radio (Tier III) or Hytera XPT radio systems. This means that the RD985S is a secure investment for growing radio projects.
Dual mode and automatic change
Both repeaters can switch independently between the digital and analogue modes, depending on the type of the receiver signal.
Secure communication
To protect your radio communications, the RD985 and RD985S repeaters offer advanced digital encryption functions, according to the DMRA specification. Depending on the variant, both repeaters support encryption with 40, 128 or 256 bit.

Powerful and reliable

High transmitting power
Both repeaters offer an adjustable transmitting power of up to 50 watts and therefore satisfy the high requirements for modern PMR radio systems.
Extrmely reliable
As they are designed to military standards, both repeaters offer consistently high reliability and excellent performance. Test results from independent laboratories have shown that the device can be operated for up to 100,000 hours without interference (MTBF) and it therefore meets the requirements for use in extreme situations.
Flexible installation options
The RD985 and RD985S repeaters can be installed in a 19-inch equip- ment rack with an optional installation kit. Alternatively, they can be operated simply on a rack, a bracket or a table. With the additionally available installation kit, an optional duplexer can be housed in the chassis.
High cooling capacity
The power amplifier can dissipate any generated heat with extraordi- nary efficiency. In addition, the integrated fan system ensures stable and powerful operation.
