Tait has released a new version of its affordable and compact base station/repeater, the TB7100 - now including an internal AC power supply.

A complete system level solution, the TB7100 is the only base station on the market to provide up to 50W power output, an internal AC power supply and a duplexer in a 1U format.

The TB7100 offers continuous duty operation at 25W, 40W (UHF) and 50W (VHF) power output. With two fans for effective cooling it can operate at temperatures of up to 60ºC (140ºF).

Margaret Grant, Base Stations Product Manager, says, "the TB7100 has now become even more cost-effective with an internal AC power supply - thanks to the innovative design of the power supply based on planar technology."

A proven RF platform is at the core of the TB7100, which offers 100 channels. The base station is also an ideal high-speed data platform, with data rates up to 19.2kbps, and comes in a 19 inch 1U rack bin that can also be wall mounted.

Fitted with an optional internal duplexer, the TB7100 is capable of full duplex operation for either a voice or data channel.
