Skylark7050C adds TETRA functionality

A new software module was released for the SkyLark7050C that enables decoding and synchronised capturing of Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) signals. This software addition further cements the product in the security market where protection of a TETRA network from rogue users and jamming signals is of a high priority.

In trunked mode operation (TMO) the basestation signal is captured and decoded. From this information the synchronisation and uplink channel allocation information is extracted. This is used to synchronise the capture of the direction finder to so that the signal from a specific handset, as determined by the short subscriber identity (SSI), can be capture and the bearing determined. This functionality was successfully demonstrated during a client evaluation process in August.

The software module is tightly integrated in the SkyMon user interface software for easy and intuitive operation. Further analysis of the basestation is displayed within the same user interface to provide the operator with an extended display of information in an efficient and intuitive format.

The module is currently being extended to support TETRA in direct mode operation (DMO).
