The announcement follows extensive progress made by the Association since August 2009 to define a list of interoperability tests, suitable test methodology, testing laboratory criteria and a test result verification process for both conventional and trunked modes of operation. The test session will complete phase 1 of the DMR Association's Interoperability program. The test process also takes account of the work of ETSI Special Task Force (STF) during the DMR standardisation process from 2004 and 2006, to define test criteria formalised in the documents TS 102 362-1, 2 and 3.
Tested vendor-interoperable DMR systems have already been deployed in the field, most notably as the communications infrastructure during the 2009 G8 summit in Aquila, Italy. The test session announced today will formalise the testing process. Certificates will be issued by the DMR Association for equipment that successfully passes the testing process which will be made public on the DMR Association website.
The testing process draws on the extensive experience of members of the Association's vendor interoperability testing of the P25 and TETRA standards. It also fulfils the Association's commitment to removing barriers to interoperability by establishing best practices for testing and validation to the DMR standard.
About DMR
DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) is a globally-available open digital radio standard for Professional Mobile Radio users, developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
About the DMR Association
The DMR Association is focused on building on the success of the DMR standard through a combination of interoperability testing, certification, education and awareness. The Association also seeks to ensure that buyers of DMR technology gain value through the competition and choice derived from products built to an open multi-vendor standard.
Members of the DMR Association include CML Microcircuits, Funkwerk Koelleda, Fylde Micro, Icom, Kenwood, Motorola, SELEX Communications - a Finmeccanica Company, Shenzhen HYT Science & Technology Co., Ltd, Tait Radio Communications, Team Simoco, and Vertex Standard. www.dmrassociation.org
