EADS N.V. - EADS Defence & Security introduces a new TETRA Data Module TDM880i for Powerful Data Communication

EADS Defence & Security has introduced a compact, yet highly capable product for data communication over TETRA. The TDM880i is an advanced TETRA data module based on the solid and robust technology of the EADS i-range TETRA radios. The TDM880i is dedicated to positioning, telemetry, remote control and data transfer applications, especially in embedded solutions. While it can also be used as a stand-alone device, it is designed to be integrated with a master device in applications such as automatic meter reading, intelligent traffic systems and other embedded systems. Its 3 W output power ensures reliable delivery of data. The TDM880i operates on 380-430 MHz frequency band.

The TDM880i is a compact printed circuit board, optimised for easy integration, and encapsulates the full functionality of a TETRA data radio. The TDM880i uses IP data and SDS messages for TETRA communication. Its I/O lines and RS232-interface for AT commands enable connectivity to a wide variety of applications. The I/O lines can be configured as inputs or outputs that can be controlled by short data messages, while the inputs can be used to trigger status message or send location information to predefined destinations. The module can use intelligent message transfer options for managing the traffic load, such as control channel associated with an ongoing group call.

For positioning, TDM880i uses its built-in GPS receiver and is compatible with the ETSI location information protocol (LIP). The position storage and transfer facility make the TDM880i an ideal solution also for positioning applications such as tracking vehicles or containers.
