MEDIA RELEASE PR38671
DMR Association Announces Date of First DMR Interoperability Session
LONDON, Mar. 10 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
The Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) Association today announced the first DMR
Interoperability test session will take place in Milan, Italy the week of
26th April 2010.
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.
