Hytera DMR IP Connect

Seamless Wide-Area Communication with Hytera IP Connect

For organizations operating across large or geographically separated locations, Hytera IP Connect delivers a powerful solution to extend communication beyond the limits of a single repeater. This multi-site repeater radio system links multiple repeater sites over a standard IP network, ensuring seamless connectivity across dispersed locations without costly infrastructure expansion.

With Hytera IP Connect, businesses can integrate multiple DMR Tier II conventional repeaters using third-party IP networks, including the Internet, Local Area Networks (LAN), VPNs, or microwave links. This allows for reliable, wide-area voice communication without additional radio equipment—simply upgrade the repeater with an IP Connect license for instant network expansion.

The HR1062 Repeater fully supports IP Connect, providing a flexible and scalable communication solution. Additionally, any DMR-compliant two-way radios can seamlessly operate within the system, as IP Connect uses the existing IP network as a carrier for DMR traffic.

IP Site Connect is a digital solution that uses Internet Protocol (IP) to link multiple DMR Tier II repeater sites, creating a wide-area communication network. This system enables seamless communication across dispersed locations, making it ideal for organizations with multiple facilities or campuses.

How Hytera IP Connect Works

By connecting repeaters over standard IP networks—including the Internet, LAN/WAN, VPNs, or microwave links—Hytera IP Connect allows users in different locations to communicate effortlessly. The DMR protocol is transmitted via TCP/IP at the application layer, ensuring that all DMR features and calling options remain intact. This setup maintains consistent and reliable communication across all connected sites.

In a two-site setup, IP Site Connect ensures instant and reliable radio communication between users at both locations. Each site has a DMR repeater connected to a router, which provides access to an IP network linking the two locations. This allows workers at different sites to communicate effortlessly as if they were in the same place.

When a user at Site 1 needs to speak with a team at Site 2, they change the radio channel to the assigned Site 2 channel. The system automatically routes the call:

  • The Site 1 repeater receives the radio transmission and sends it through the IP network.
  • The Site 2 repeater picks up the signal from the network and transmits it to the assigned radio users at Site 2.
  • Users at both sites experience real-time communication as they would within a single coverage area.

With IP Site Connect, multiple call and talk groups can be configured to ensure clear and efficient communication across both locations. Whether managing a warehouse, industrial complex, or multi-site operation, this system provides a seamless, scalable solution for staying connected.

IP Site Connect Scalability

IP Site Connect provides a scalable, wide-area communication solution for organizations with multiple locations, linking up to 255 repeater sites. Businesses can ensure continuous connectivity across facilities, job sites, and service areas by configuring primary and secondary repeaters.

Each location can operate on different frequencies and use DMR-compliant radios from any manufacturer, making the system flexible and adaptable to various industries. The IP network transport for DMR digital data is entirely transparent and agnostic, meaning repeaters can be connected using various transmission media, including optical fiber, microwave, or other network infrastructures. This flexibility allows organizations to integrate multiple sites seamlessly, regardless of geographic distance or network type.

When coverage areas overlap between IP Site Connect repeater locations, the system supports automatic roaming, allowing radios to switch between sites instantly. This feature is especially beneficial for mobile radios in vehicles, ensuring that users maintain continuous connectivity as they move between different repeater coverage areas, much like a cell phone transitioning between towers. IP Site Connect provides uninterrupted communication for users traveling between locations by programming radios to recognize and switch between the appropriate frequencies.

Whether managing a nationwide fleet, a multi-campus operation, or a distributed workforce, IP Site Connect delivers reliable, real-time communication across multiple sites, ensuring teams stay connected wherever the job takes them.

Applications of IP Site Connect

IP Site Connect is particularly beneficial for:

  • Educational Institutions: Facilitates communication between multiple campuses or buildings, enhancing coordination and safety.
  • Businesses with Multiple Locations: This technology enables seamless interaction between manufacturing plants, warehouses, and administrative offices, streamlining operations.
  • Public Safety Agencies: Provides reliable communication across various sites, ensuring prompt response and coordination.

Advantages of IP Site Connect

  • Extended Coverage: Connects geographically separated sites into a unified network, expanding communication reach.
  • Cost-Effective Expansion: Utilizes existing IP infrastructure, reducing the need for additional hardware investments.
  • Scalability: Easily add new sites to the network as organizational needs grow.

For businesses, public safety agencies, and industries requiring instant, wide-area radio communication, Alpha Prime Communications delivers Hytera IP Site Connect as a cost-effective, scalable, and high-performance solution to keep teams connected, no matter the distance.

Simple Deployments

IP Connect supports Hytera Repeater connectivity over various widely available IP networks, including the Internet, private wide-area networks, LANs, and VPNs. If the existing repeaters are already Hytera, no new hardware is needed to create this wide-area radio network; simply install an IP Connect license and configure the repeater.

Carries True DMR Protocol

Adding Hytera IP Connect to your repeaters carries the DMR protocol. That means your existing DMR radios, regardless of manufacturer, will work on the extended IP Connect radio system for flexible deployments without being locked into proprietary systems.

Enhanced Coverage

IP Connect is perfect for adding coverage to shadowed or poor-coverage areas, such as parking garages and below-ground floors.

Local and Wide Area Channel Programming

In a Hytera IP Connect system, Talkgroups can be programmed to call users only on the local repeater or across the IP-connected multi-site network. This is especially handy for school districts, where each school campus can have its local repeater channel, and is always available for emergency broadcasts or any other calls that must be heard across all campuses.

Convenient and Familiar Operation

Because IP Connect uses DMR protocol, users do not need to learn a new radio system. Group Calls, Individual Calls, and Emergency Calls still work as usual.
