An exciting new alternative to on-site and wide-area DMR

Tuesday 19th October 2021

Eliminating the need for costly and complex infrastructure, P1 performs exceptionally for multi-site, high-density city centre, cross-country and cross-border operations. Whether for a pair or thousands of portables and with a virtually unlimited number of channels and groups, users will be delighted with the range, reliability and clarity of this comprehensive communication solution.

For about the same cost as a single basic DMR Tier II repeater, a 500-User P1 PoC system

  • Supports simple or sophisticated applications - If you just need a pair of radios with push to talk and countrywide coverage, P1 DN495 radios can deliver just that. However P1 can also supports the features and capabilities of a major DMR Tier III radio system, plus more, at a fraction of the cost.
  • Supports a far higher capacity

Up to 500 radio users with a virtually unlimited number of trunked channels (to match your / your clients budget, up to 50, 100, 1000, 3,000 & 5,000 user P1 servers are also available).

  • Has few limitations

A virtually unlimited number of channels and simultaneous calls is possible; for example, a 500 user server supports 250 simultaneous calls.

  • Is low-Cost

The advanced DN495 P1 radio costs significantly less than top brand DMR Tier II radios and the PC Dispatcher software only costs about as much as a couple of standard DMR radio batteries.

  • Supports multiple separate users

Splitting P1 users into multiple 'Teams' enables each team to have its own set of 'always available' private channels.

  • Supports Single-Site and Multi-Site systems

A single P1 server supports any number of sites / locations without the need for extra repeaters / servers, delivering an extremely cost effective and future-proof solution.

  • Has virtually unlimited range

P1 Supports On-Site, Regional, National and Cross-Border coverage.

  • On-Site systems with no ongoing costs

WiFi connected systems have no on-going costs (not even a radio license) and, if required, can be run 'off-line' (without an internet connection) e.g. in tunnels, mines, museums, factories, warehousing, education etc.

  • Low cost wide-area coverage

UK National Cellular connected systems require a data SIM data that costs from £1.80 (RRP), or less, per radio, per month. PAYG, Pre-Loaded and Contract SIM's can be used. One option is Entel's EU roaming SIM that covers all four UK networks providing a very high degree of redundancy, approximately 94% UK landmass coverage as well as most of Europe. If required, you can of course use your own in country SIM.

  • Supports City & Rural systems

Instantaneous coverage with high quality channels is available almost anywhere including major cities (where a traditional radio license may be very difficult to obtain) and rural areas.

  • Multiple Terminal and Dispatcher options

P1 supports DN495 portable radios, Smartphones, PC and IP Phone dispatchers.

  • Links with existing radio systems

P1 radios can be linked to existing DMR Tier II or Analogue radio systems using Entel's Gateway 3.0 single box solution. Additionally, Entel's Universal Gateway provides a link between P1 and virtually any other type of legacy radio network. Providing increased capacity, range or a simple migration path.
