Highlights
Comprehensive Network
All the repeaters from Hytera can be connected in digital mode via IP connection for multi-site requirements. Both in conventional analogue and DMR modes (DMR Tier II), the RD985S repeater can be used with the RD625 and RD965 repeaters to create an impressive network
Upgrade and Expand
The RD985s can be upgraded into a base station for DMR simulcast, DMR trunked radio or Hytera XPT radio systems, making it a secure investment for growing radio projects
Maximise Capacity
Thanks to the TDMA technology, twice as many users can use the same channel. With frequency scarcity, this represents an important relief and reduces the expense of system terminals and licenses
Professional Design
Integrated LEDs complement the sleek repeater design, while the integrated fan assembly provides high cooling capacity. Created with an intuitive interface, clear menus and the large navigation controller ensure it's simple to use
Secure Communication
Offering advanced digital encryption function, the RD985S can switch independently between digital and analogue modes, yet always ensuring the signal is protected
Functions
Mixed Mode Operation
This feature allows the device to automatically detect and switch between analogue and digital modes based on the signal received.
IP Site Connect
Create and control your network using IP (internet protocol) site connect.
Single-Site XPT
Hytera XPT (Extended Pseudo Trunking) enables you to use limited spectrum resources across a single site more efficiently without needing a dedicated control channel (chargeable licence).
Multi-Site XPT
Extend your Hytera XPT network by connecting multiple sites over IP with simple router hardware (optional) and the additional chargeable licence.
Tier III Trunking
Upgraded via chargeable licence to be used as a two-carrier repeater in the Hytera Tier III trunking system
Digital Encryption
Ensuring your transmissions are always secure, advanced encryption available via a chargeable licence.
Powerful Repeater
100% continuous duty cycle from 1W to 50W
