With the 3900 series, operators with radios on P25 systems can rest assure their radios are in proper working order, providing the critical interoperability needed for today's communications.
'The 3900 series is a platform for expansion and already supports a number of new digital technologies including TETRA P25 conventional, and HPD technology'.
'Now with the additional P25 trunking capabilities offered on the 3900 series, Aeroflex continues to lead the market in testing new land mobile digital radio standards', said Rob Barden, Director of Product Marketing, Aeroflex Test Solutions.
'The 3900 series represents the third generation of radio test sets and includes a number of features developed from our highly successful IFR 2975 P25 Radio Test Set'.
'We are seeing an even higher level of success for the 3900 series'.
Additionally, this new trunking option allows P25 end users to quickly establish pre-defined setups for quick recall when testing large numbers of radios.
The System Plan configuration function provides the capability to configure the 3900 series similar to a repeater with the ability to define WACN, SYS ID, RFSS ID, SITE ID and other message functions associated with P25 control channel emulation.
When combined with the 390XOPT200 option, the 3900 series also provides powerful, yet easy to use analysis of P25 parametric performance including power, frequency error, C4FM modulation fidelity as well as an eye diagram, constellation and distribution plots of the P25 symbols.
With lab quality performance, these exclusive features allow users of the 3900 series Radio Test Sets to isolate problems quickly and accurately in any P25 radio system and confidently simulate P25 trunked environments before placing new or repaired radios on their P25 network.
Option 201 will be available in late August 2007.
All P25 software features will be compatible with the 3901 and the 3902 systems currently fielded.
