Scalable DMR Tier III Trunking with Seamless Migration from MPT1327
, the gold standard in radio trunking The design team at our development centre in Blackpool, England have worked tirelessly to complete what is the most sophisticated and complex design ever to come from Fylde Micro. Fylde s goal with the Multi-Lingo controller is provide network operators and radio users the very best in radio trunking whilst minimising investment risk and maximising choice. Multi-Lingo is designed from the ground-up as a multi-protocol platform, more importantly, it allows different protocols to talk to one another. Multi-Lingo can be enabled to use digital DMR and analogue MPT 1327. Multi-Lingo systems provide the network operator with an easy and flexible migration scheme from legacy MPT systems. Fylde have partnered with leading manufacturers to ensure seamless integration with new and existing repeater equipment. Fylde s Multi-Lingo is fully digital throughout; both control and speech paths are conveyed between all nodes via IP. Cross Protocol Numbering MPT1327 and DMR have different numbering schemes. To enable communication between these protocols some form of translation must be provided. Multi-Lingo has translation tables to ensure that DMR users can be included in MPT both individual and group calls and vice versa. The intention is to have no restriction on protocol to protocol communication. Next Generation SYSCON-Suite To complement the new controller Fylde has created a revolutionary network administration interface that incorporates asset tracking, a SIP based dispatcher, all available via a web browser.

Analogue Analogue / DMR Tier III - two slot TDMA in 12.5KHz. DMR Tier III products are now available. DMR ( Mobile ) has become the most popular digital PMR protocol, largely due to its tier 2 product success seen in recent years. Tier III is the fully trunked version providing true trunking features with managed resources and intelligent queuing.

MPT 1327 is an industry standard for trunked radio communications networks. It was developed in 1988 by the British Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Although a British standard it is widely used in Europe, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and even China. Many countries have their own version of numbering / user interface, the most notable being MPT1343 (UK), Germany Chekker (Regionet 43), France 3RP (CNET2424), Australia Multiax, China -Gong An.

We guarantee to provide upgrade paths for all our customers, allowing the interconnection of existing and future Fylde networks. Connecting Legacy infrastructure to digital Multi-Lingo s Legacy system data is collected via an available site port on the existing Fylde (RCP) Regional Control Processor. The Audio streams are collected via the existing Fylde PCM Switch. These connections are then presented to the specially tasked Multi- Lingo controller card using a Fylde cross patch interface. Specially tasked Multi-Lingo controller acts as a translator The specially tasked Multi-Lingo card acting as a translator, converts analogue voice signals and network data from within the legacy MPT system, converting everything to digital data. This interchange allows calls and messaging to seamlessly flow between digital systems and existing analogue systems. It is worth noting that once the translator is no longer required the Multi-Lingo card can be put into service as a regular controller. This setup is all you need to seamlessly bring together new DMR or dpmr IP based sites with your existing legacy MPT network. Cross Patch Interface This gateway can be used to facilitate gradual migration where big-bang swap-outs are not viable. Existing Regional Control Processor (RCP) and PCM Audio Switch

30 years of radio trunking excellence Fylde Micro delivered the first ever true MPT multi-site system back in 1986. Since then Fylde have been pioneers in the field of radio trunking gaining a worldwide reputation for rugged and reliable trunked radio solutions. November 1985 - Norman Burrows, (left) demonstrates the first Fylde MPT systems to Simon Towneley MP (middle) On the (right) is Bob Hallett former Fylde director. Sadly no longer with us. Fylde is now entering into its third decade and with that comes new digital narrowband communication challenges. Fylde have being closely involved in the writing of the ETSI digital standards for DMR and dpmr. Whilst these standards have been maturing Fylde have developed the Multi-Lingo controller, the most sophisticated and complex controller design in the storied history of Fylde Micro. This brand new product is capable of communication across three protocols DMR, dpmr and MPT1327 simultaneously, digital and analogue. 1986-1988 Fylde provide the world s first true MPT system for Air Call / BT. This system was installed at the top of the Telecom Tower - London. Fylde Micro outstripped all competitors in the supply of MPT1327 systems and handset controller circuits. 1994 - Fylde began the supply of MPT controller circuits to Kenwood Japan. Fylde designed and manufactured thousands of miniature controller boards for the very successful TK series mobile radio. Following on from this success Fylde designed further projects for Kenwood s MPT1327 range. 2005 - Installation of Entropia s European MPT1327 network begins. Fylde supplied 145 sites comprising 850 channels. The largest commercial MPT network in the world spanning across four countries. 2012 - Fylde Micro and Hytera Communications announced 1983 - Fylde Microsystems incorporated as a limited company specialising in SELCALL and other PMR/SMR technologies. 1989 - Tait Electronics of New Zealand purchased a product license from Fylde allowing them to manufacture and further develop Fylde s unique distributed processor based infrastructure. Today there is no resemblance between Fylde and Tait s equipment. Fylde carried on developing its distributed processing scheme whereas Tait followed the path of centralised processing. Fylde released a total of 5 design licenses for re-manufacture and 1995 - Fylde opens the doors to its new headquarters and purpose built manufacturing facility in Blackpool UK. 1994 - Fylde and Motorola entered in to a 5 year OEM supply agreement. Motorola purchased Fylde MPT controller and infrastructure re-branding it Motorola. The main market was UAE and Asia. collaboration in November 2012 to jointly develop a scalable DMR Tier III solution. The supply of dpmr systems starts in earnest. Early customers include Police in Russia and Airports in the Middle East. 2013 - Fylde Micro celebrates 30 years of trunking excellence. development of its MPT infrastructure. 1983 2013 for a more complete historical timeline
