VS3000 GTW
The versatile mobile radio
1. OVERVIEW
§
Feature subject to software license
• Large keypad
• A 16-step rotary knob for audio volume selection
• A 16-step rotary knob for group / channel selection
• Emergency key (red colour)
• Dedicated connector for audio accessories
• Primary connector for data accessories (on the front)
• Secondary connector for data accessories (on the rear)
The high contrast LCD display with large fonts (about 2,5 x 4,5 mm) allows the best visibility
in all light conditions. The backlight of display and keypad may be continuous, timed or
excluded. Any audio signals can be individually selected as off, low, medium or high.
Low, medium and high levels are proportional to the voice volume, so the volume rotary
knob allows the tuning of audio signals also. The user can quickly select the preferred mode
between TMO and DMO through a dedicated mode selection key.
The VS3000 unit is the new solid digital mobile radio designed for the use in Private Mobile
Radio (PMR) systems based on the TETRA standard with a wide range of professional
options.
VS3000 GTW can operate both as DM repeater and DM Gateway. Its wireless interface
allows the unit to communicate with wireless audio and data accessories and allows to
transfer information from/to Pc or external instruments’ **.
VS3000 is the complete solution for the TETRA applications. It supports all voice and data
services at the higher level of security.
Authentication, dynamic key "Air interface Encryption" and "End-to-End Encryption"
offer a high degree of communication security and protect the critical speech and/or data
communications by potential eavesdropper. A special tamper proof version of the VS3000 is
available.
The VS3000 supports at the higher possible data rate capability for the Tetra equipment,
with multi-slot Circuit Data and IP Packet Data for file transfer, messaging, database
interrogation/update, and image / video transfer applications.
The VS3000 has a secondary interface for customer defined wired applications, such as
double control panel, remote audio accessories or data terminal equipment.
**
Some features can depend on TETRA Infrastructure and/or the SW version.
• Direct Mode (DMO): direct communications between terminal equipment, without the
presence of the network.
• Direct Mode under DM Repeater coverage: communication between terminals
through a DM repeater without the presence of the network.
• Direct Mode under a DM Gateway coverage: communication between the radio
and the network through a DM Gateway

FPG1 provides the interfaces towards the user and is composed of:
• a LCD high efficiency display capable of modifying the light intensity through a keyboard
function. The backlight LCD display matrix has a resolution of 160x80 dots. It allows
displaying of 1 symbols line and 3 character lines (12 characters each).
Two LED’s beside the display (one red and one green) indicate transmitting and the
receiving phase.
• The keyboard doesn't stick out of the profile of the radio, avoiding unintentional
activation.
VS3000 has a powerful and flexible architecture ready to perform a very complete set of
services. The actual set of features provided by the unit depends on TETRA Infrastructure
and/or SW license.

Fixed station FC3000 GTW is an efficient TETRA desktop radio unit. It's easy to allocate on
the desk, in order to realise an operating station with low installation costs and training
(photo 3). The FC3000 uses the same control panel of the vehicular station so no additional
training is necessary to use the fixed station.
Additional software for Windows platform PC is available. The user friendly interface -
dispatcher like - makes the use of the station extremely easy (photo 6).
The FC3000 includes an internal loudspeaker and it is provided with a high quality desktop
microphone. The installation kit only requires the antenna and the power supply 110-220 V
AC.
In order o support data services using a personal computer FC3000 has two PEI interface on
the rear panel (photo 5).
Optional accessories:
