The heart of a Tait P25 solution is made up of the TP9100 and TM9100 range of P25 portables and mobiles plus the TB9100 base station/repeater.

Tait has involved public safety users in the design of TaitNet P25 to create a cost-effective radio communications platform that is easy to grow in size and functionality, and is interoperable with analogue or other P25 equipment.

TB9100 P25 base station/repeater

This is the core of the TaitNet P25 platform. The TB9100 base station/repeater is an advanced, modular fixed station that can be configured as a repeater or a base station in a conventional P25 system.

The TB9100 is programmed and controlled by the Customer Service Software (CSS) PC application. It can be upgraded through software options and offers a variety of industry-standard interfaces enabling connection to a wide range of network equipment.

TB9100 Customer Service Software

Running on a standard PC, laptop or workstation, the TB9100 CSS can be connected directly or remotely to a TB9100 base station to provide a variety of services including:

• configuration
• customised operational control
• monitoring and diagnostics
• alarm management
• feature upgrades
• remote software downloads.

A single CSS application is capable of servicing any TB9100 base station in the TaitNet P25 system.

Creating a TaitNet P25 system

The TB9100 base station is designed to transfer P25 digitised voice or data across a packet-switched infrastructure using proven IP communications techniques. This voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology allows Tait to use standard telecommunications equipment such as Cisco routers and hubs combining TB9100 base stations to form an integrated Project 25 system. Systems can be easily expanded.

Secure communications

TaitNet P25 supports end-to-end secure voice and data communications using Project 25 standard DES or AES encryption. Software upgrades enable over-the-air re-keying (OTAR) or radios and interfacing to major third-party key management facilities.
