overview of what MTSs are, what they do, and the modules that they are comprised of.
The MTS is one type of Base Station that can be used in a Dimetra IP communication system. A
Base Station serves as the Radio Frequency (RF) interface between the system infrastructure and the
mobile stations. Base Stations in a trunked system have three primary interfaces:
•
A receiver to pick up the RF signal from the mobile stations
•
A transmitter to send RF signals to the mobile stations
•
A wireline interface to send audio and control traf
fi
c to the system infrastructure
Strategically placed base stations allow users to communicate with one another, dispatch
operators or telephone users using the Dimetra IP system.
