In a sideshow presented on the Damm stand, engineers from the company showed how a TETRA base station can be installed and commissioned in 30 minutes, using their lightweight two-box radio package.

In the event, the work took very much less time than that, since it was merely a matter taking the units out of their cardboard boxes, bolting the radio unit and the service box to a suitable  mast, connecting the power and antenna cables, and plugging in the all-important ethernet network cable. Through this, the central network management system downloaded all the necessary subscriber and configuration data and integrated the new station automatically with neighbouring cells in the existing network.

Damm comments that its out-of-the-box technology makes enjoying the benefits of a class-leading TETRA communications system as easy as installing a new PC.
