REGULUS MANET vs. DMR professional radio networking system

---

Direct Mode

All REGULUS MANET Radios and DMR radios can operate in direct mode, which allows Voice, Data and Text messaging. However, REGULUS MANET Radios can also operate in both narrowband and wideband modes.

REGULUS MANET Radios (model MU6) operate in narrowband mode (12.5 kHz bandwidth) on VHF/UHF frequencies with up to 5W of power are essentially comparable to DMR Radios in terms of functionality. In this mode, they allow two conversations on a channel and provide 4 (four) re-transmissions (hops).

And when operating in broadband mode (0.5 MHz bandwidth) on ISM 863-928 MHz frequencies (model MU7), with peak power up to 2W and 6% duty cycle, they allow up to 4 simultaneous conversations on one channel, and 8 simultaneous conversations when operating on 1MHz bandwidth. Each transceiver also acts as a repeater (retransmitting each data packet up to 3 times), significantly increasing the coverage area of the network.

• DMR Tier I (no license required) - radiated power up to 0.5W, frequency band 446.0-446.2 MHz

• DMR Tier II, Tier III (commercial license required) - radiated power up to 5W, frequency band VHF (136~174 MHz)/UHF (400~450 MHz)

Each participant can only communicate with participants within range of his radio.

• REGULUS MANET Radios (no license required) – radiated power 0.5W, peak power up to 2W, 863~928 MHz

• REGULUS MANET 3-band Radios (commercial license required) - power up to 5W, VHF/UHF/ISM

All participants can communicate with each other when their radios' coverage areas overlap and have up to 4 simultaneous conversations on the same channel.

Transceiver A can only communicate with transceivers B, C and D.

All transceivers can communicate with each other.

Conventional (DMR Tier II)

Both DMR and REGULUS MANET Radio networks use fixed repeaters, which greatly extend the range of communication.

While in DMR a fixed repeater is a complex and expensive device, in REGULUS MANET Radio Network the MU3 device can be used as a fixed repeater with an additional antenna. This repeater increases the coverage area up to 20km with omnidirectional antennas and up to 50km with directional antennas.

DMR Tier II Network

• Up to 200 participants in the network.

• Power of repeaters is from 10 to 50 W and their price is from $ 2000, not including the cost of licenses.

• Complicated installation and configuration of repeaters.

REGULUS MANET Radio Network

• The number of participants in the network is unlimited.

• MU3 base Repeater. No license is required.

• Simple installation and configuration of the network.

Trunking (DMR Tier III)

When the capacity of conventional networks is insufficient (more than 200 subscribers on the network), or when the required coverage area cannot be provided by a single fixed repeater, DMR uses Tier III trunked networks, which allow geographically dispersed radio zones to be interconnected into a single network using IP networking technologies.

With REGULUS MANET Radio Network, geographically dispersed radio zones can also be interconnected into a single network using a low-cost device, the MS2.0 Network Gateway.

As a result, REGULUS Network can perform the same tasks as DMR trunking networks, but at a much lower cost.
