BF-TR8500
DMR repeater up to 50 W with IP networking
A 2U, 19-inch rack DMR repeater that extends radio coverage across malls, logistics sites, airports and docks, and can be linked with other repeaters over IP.


Overview
BF-TR8500 runs as a single-site repeater and can grow into a multi-site system over IP with BelFone's BDC, BDS (simulcast) and SDC architectures. It runs on AC or DC with a built-in power supply and battery charger, so it keeps working when mains power is lost.
Key features
- 5 to 50 W transmit power, continuous duty
- IP multi-site connection and simulcast
- AC or DC power with built-in battery charger for power cuts
- 2U 19-inch rack, optional duplexer
- GPS and BeiDou positioning (optional)
- Fault indication and backup power
