Teltronic presents the new MCBS, an outdoor TETRA base station which, through the use of SDR (Software defined radio) techniques, provides up to four carriers in a single compact unit, offering, it reckons, the highest level of performance in a single, lightweight and compact device.

The multi-carrier technology, the MCBS, with its 40W of RF Power, is apparently able to offer the features of an indoor fixed base station in a single compact device that is prepared to operate outdoors without requiring civil works for its installation, which means a significant reduction in costs and deployment time in railway environments. In addition, it allows different configurations to adapt flexibly to any number of subscribers and system traffic load.
