DMR Association Welcomes HYT and Team Simoco
LONDON, Mar. 9 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Two leading Professional Mobile Radio vendors join growing
association to promote affordable, interoperable and innovative digital radio
solutions
The Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) Association today welcomes two new
members; Shenzhen HYT Science & Technology Co., Ltd (China) and Team Simoco
(UK) to the group which represents businesses, organisations and individuals
supporting the European Telecommunications Standards Institute's (ETSI)
Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) standard.
The decision of HYT, China's largest Professional Mobile Radio
manufacturer, to choose DMR is testament to the technology's growing appeal
in Asia - the world's fastest-growing PMR market - and underlines the market
demand for powerful, genuine-interoperable, multi-vendor solutions.
Team Simoco, one of the world's leading radio communications specialists,
also sees DMR as a crucial digital technology driver and a key enabler for
the progressive replacement of analogue radio networks in commercial markets.
HYT and Team Simoco's membership of the DMR Association underpins the
position of DMR as the leading international digital radio standard available
in professional markets, in terms of value to the vendor and user, and market
share.
"It is with great pleasure that we welcome HYT and Team Simoco as new
members of the DMR Association. Their decision to join our ranks is further
testament to the growing worldwide market appeal of DMR technology. With over
400,000 DMR radios already shipped, I am confident that the present success
will soon be followed by others and that our Association will keep on growing
stronger," said Mario Micheli (of SELEX Communications - a Finmeccanica
Company, Italy), DMR Association Chair. "Our goal is to reinforce DMR's
position as the most widely supported 21st century digital radio standard for
business and a growing membership helps us do that."
In addition to recruiting new members, the Association is concentrating
on removing barriers to interoperability by establishing best practices for
testing and validation of the DMR standard.
