Migration

2. Comm-Tac Overview
Comm-Tac is designed to meet a growing demand for a low-cost method of solving tactical interoperability problems
It meets a challenging need for quick, immediate grouping of dissimilar radios

3. Comm-Tac Overview
Provides tactical interoperability on demand or on a permanent, full time basis
Provides radio grouping at the hardware level, inexpensively and effectively

4. Front Panel View Easy push button operation for assigning groups.
Three position buttons set a radio to Group A, Group B, or Off.

13. LED Indications
The above diagram shows radios 1 and 2 connected as Group A radios 3 and 4 connected as Group B

14. Making Groups
Simply press the button until the desired grouping is reached. Press once for assigning to Group A. Press twice to assign it to Group B. Press a third time and that resource returns to normal mode (ungrouped).

15. More Examples
Nexedge
VHF Trunking
UHF Conventional
P MHz
Nexedge, P25 and VHF Trunking are grouped together. UHF is not grouped with any other radio and is in normal mode.

16. Applications Can be used at system backbone level or customer level
Comm-Tac can be used to map talk groups together that do not normally connect
Connect Trunking to Conventional Platforms

17. Opportunities Public Safety, First Response Schools, Universities
Public Places supporting many different radio users such as Sports Complexes
Monitoring radio traffic not usually monitored

18. Vertical Markets Construction Companies Utility Companies
Power Companies
Chemical Plants
Manufacturing Facilities
Sensitive Environments

19. Common Uses
UHF Conventional
MOTOTRBO™
Neighboring Power Companies can assist each other during outages.

20. Common Uses
UHF Conventional
MOTOTRBO™
By using Comm-Tac, assisting power companies can now communicate with the other company when they arrive on scene.

21. Common Uses
“First Response” agencies can group with utilities during disasters or on a regular basis

22. Common Uses
Response to facilities where radio communications and coordination are critical, but usually not possible

23. Technical Overview
Comm-Tac offers adjustments and “Tuning Pots” under the cover for set-up and alignment
Not all situations will require adjustments, however, Trident recommends taking appropriate measurements to be sure the Comm-Tac is operating at optimal levels

24. Set up and Configuration
Alignment, settings and instructions are illustrated in the Installation and Operation Manual

25. Internal View of Comm-Tac
Dip Switches for set-up

26. Set-up and Configuration
Alignments and adjustments such as:
Squelch Settings
COR
VOX and sensitivity settings
Audio Delay:
Adjusted by internal dip switches to support trunking systems and channel acquisition time

27. Set Up and Configuration
Audio Deviation can also be adjusted
When combining 25 KHz radios with 12.5 KHz or narrow band radios, some alignment may be necessary to balance audio, etc.

28. Ordering Comm-Tac
Dealers may order Comm-Tac direct from Trident Micro Systems
Trident works through resellers and dealers and prefers not to sell direct to end users
