Motorola’s QUANTAR sets the industry standard for base station design and performance. No other base station, regardless of price, provides higher levels of absolute reliability, design excellence, environmental robustness, nor total systems capability.

The world’s premier base station designed to provide the ‘heart’ of your digital, analog or

SECURENET two way radio system, supports conventional, local area or wide area trunking configurations and when your system needs a change, you can now upgrade the base station remotely in a ‘beat’ from the comport of your office.

The QUANTAR….

Motorola’s QUANTAR base station provides you with true, full-functioning digital technology in either 12.5 or 25 kHz channels. This result is exceptional performance and a vast array of features that include:

• Digital audio quality comparable to analog audio

• Improved consistency in voice quality across your coverage area

• Error correction fort improved system performance

• Enhanced embedded signaling with voice

• Smooth migration from existing conventional systems

• An integrated digital modem, saving critical site space

The QUANTAR station provides you with cutting edge

technology: ASTRO digital communications. The QUANTAR can be configured as analog only, analog / SECURENET or analog / ASTRO.

This capability allows the station to detect whether the received call is digital or analog and repeat it in the appropriate mode. As your systems requirement change the QUANTAR can be programmed to meet your configuration needs.

Utilising Motorola’s FLASHport technology the QUANTAR can be upgraded via FLASHport from a conventional station to trunking easily and quickly. The QUANTAR station can adapt to meet your changing communication needs to extend the useful of today’s base station equipment in an extremely cost-effective manner.

Pioneering Technology

• New hardware architecture utilising state-of-the-art digital signal processors (DSP)

• Advanced software design to provide flexible interoperability

• Software-driven approach optimises current system applications and accommodates modification for future system enhancements.

The QUANTAR station provides the ultimate in system capability. The software driven approach means a more cost effective and upgradeable station solutions.

The QUANTAR offers unprecedented “system-flexible” station control.

FLASHport Flexibility

The QUANTAR station’s innovative and reliable, microprocessor-based design allows expansion and upgrade of both conventional and trunked systems via FLASHport. The days of total infrastructure replacement are virtually eliminated. Now FLASHport upgrades can even be performed remotely via telephone lines.

Conventional, SMARTNET or

SmartZone Trunking

The QUANTAR can be configured as a conventional base station or repeater to meet your system needs.

QUANTAR stations can operate in a SMARTNET system as turnked repeaters for single site networks or in Motorola’s most advanced wide area trunking system: SmartZone.

IntelliRepeater™ Wide Area Operation

Site Control

A QUANTAR IntelliRepeater now eliminates the need for a local site controller as a QUANTAR IntelliRepeater can simply operate both as a SmartZone remote voice channel or perform call processing control channel activities at a SmartZone remote site.

Full-Featured Fault Tolerance

The QUANTAR IntelliRepeater has the capability to transfer call processing capability to another IntelliRepeater at the site without disruption in active calls and minimal change in system access time.

IntelliRepeater operation provides continuous trunking communications and retains all important features at an individual site in the event of link failures.

Over the Wireline Upgrades

Upgrade your system now in minutes rather than hours or days traveling to your transmission sites for local upgrading, saving you valuable time and money.

QUANTAR’s wireline FLASHport flexibility sets a new standard in radio infrastructure systems capabilities.

As communication requirements evolve and diversify, FLASHport capability keeps infrastructure upgrade costs to a minimum for smooth migration transitions. The QUANTAR station is designed to meet today’s demanding communications requirements and provides a bridge to tomorrow’s expanding system needs.

QUANTAR:

The “Heart” of the World ‘s Best Radio Systems

Enhanced Reliability and Flexibility

State-of-the Art Digital Receiver

The QUANTAR station’s receiver modular has been designed to provide flexible system approach with easy installation and adjustment.

• The receiver is functionally independent from the transmitter allowing implementation of crossband conventional operation.

• User-programmable channel spacing to 12.5 kHz operation simplifies station migration to narrow band channelisation plans.

• To reduce station installation and alignment time, only the conveniently front-mounted preselector on VHF and UHF stations requires tuning.

• Synthesise frequency generation allows for economical and easyto-implement frequency changes.

• Truly wide-band receiver – 4 MHz bandwidth on VHF/UHF stations and 19 MHz in the 800 MHz band, allows for a greater range of frequencies with options for even wider bandwidth.

Modular Mechanical Design

The QUANTAR station’s card cage modules are easily removed and replaced for station upgrades or servicing. These Field Replaceable

Units (FRUs) provide prompt communications recovery. System upgrades are easily performed by replacing a system-specific functional modules or usually by simply loading new software. Both short term and long term cost saving are realised in installation, system maintenance, and upgrades.

Switching AC Power Supply

Improvements in power supply technology yield a reliable, lightweight, switching power supply. The power supply can operate over a wide range of main voltages (90-280 VAC) and frequencies (47-63 Hz) anywhere in the world without modifications. Voltages are adjusted automatically to eliminate the chance of failure due to improper installation.

Advanced Transmitter Design

The QUANTAR station’s transmitter design not only meets but exceeds major global intermodulation specifications for stations placed at crowded antenna sties. Electronic adjustment of deviation and power improves performance and lowers cost by reducing manual tuning adjustments at installation. Modulation sensitivity and power output are adjusted on a per channel basis to provide improved performance in a variety of system configurations. The station’s transmitter is equipped with an internal wattmeter for ease in measuring transmit output power.

Simplified Service and Installation

Convenient Connection Access

Routine service ports are located at the front of the station. All primary installation connectors are located on a single back-plane accessed through the rear of the station. Installation and maintenance can be performed quickly, minimising set-up time and maintenance costs.

Programming

The QUANTAR station is based upon a flexible software design that allows programming and alignment through a personal computer and appropriate software. The user-friendly software simplifies the process of adjusting station characteristics, thereby minimising station downtime.

Continuous Duty Operation

The station is designed for continuous duty operation and may be operated at full-rated power and it still exceeds all regulatory specifications. Reliability is increased for the demanding communications systems.

Built-in Single Circular

The QUANTAR station has a single circulator included in every station to improve reliability by protecting against antenna mismatches and to aid in the reduction of interference caused by equipment at crowded sites.

Self-Test Diagnostics

On power-up and during operation, the QUANTAR station automatically initiates self-tests without interfering with communications. The station conditions can be readily determined by viewing the light emitting diodes (LEDs) on the module front panels providing quick and easy visual appraisal of station status. Station alarm messages and selfdesigned test results are logged and accessed through the Radio

Service Software. Maintenance information is at your fingertips.

Truly Compact Station

The entire QUANTAR station fits in a 5 rack-unit-high card cage weighing only 25 kg. Motorola’s state-of-the-art technology allows efficient use of site space since additional equipment can installed in the same area, giving reduced site rental costs and improved system aesthetics.
