TETRA, DMR Tier III, TEDS and Analog in one box
Supports VHF and UHF in all technologies
Flexible, cost-efficient solution with up to four carriers in one box
Reduces the frequency need in your network
The world’s only outdoor base station featuring multiple technologies in one single core-connected system: TETRA, DMR Tier III, TEDS and Analog. This technology-independent solution features multiple carriers as well as frequency sharing in one box within either UHF or VHF frequency ranges.
No more need for gateways or bridges! With the core-connected BS422 you can easily combine multiple technologies in one coherent system. Or choose the one technology that matches your current need – and scale anytime to meet changing voice and data needs with a simple click.
With everything covered by one system, operation, maintenance and repairs are simply easy. Multi-technology networks can be managed in a single network management tool with one central subscriber register. Applications like dispatchers and voice and data log systems can be used across all technologies, and all technologies use the same gateways.
The BS422 can be set up as a stand-alone system. It can also be seamlessly integrated into any existing DAMM single-tech network such as networks based on DAMM BS421 outdoor and/or DAMM BS418 indoor base stations.
Frequency sharing allows adjacent BS422s to use the same frequencies. This is a significant benefit in low-density networks and gives the possibility to cover e.g. a railway line with just two frequency pairs.
With frequency sharing you can build an indoor repeater system without optical fibres. The same hardware can be used as base station and repeater unit, increasing redundancy and simplifying the network architecture by having one unified network management system and reduced spare part stock.
With the BS422 you can bring network availability to a new level. Two BS422s located at two sites can act as one fully redundant base station, sharing the same frequencies. This will add redundancy not only to the base station, but also to the whole antenna system.
Save on infrastructure costs by utilizing VHF frequencies to obtain the same coverage as UHF using fewer base stations.
The BS422 is built to withstand harsh conditions – from extreme cold to extreme heat and also wet conditions thanks to its IP65 encapsulation. Its compact and light-weight design makes it easy to install everywhere from masts to tunnels and on the back of a truck.
At the core of the BS422 is a decentralized architecture, which ensures that all system information is constantly replicated to all sites in the network. This means that the system does not have any single point of failure. This way, local call and data traffic will run without interruption, even if one site loses its connection to the rest of the network.
The flat decentralized IP architecture and intuitive software also enable effortless, self-configuring site expansion. The BS422 can be used with single or multiple carriers as well as single or multiple technologies, giving you maximum flexibility.
With the DAMM frequency functionality it becomes possible to:
Improve spectrum efficiency
Simplify repeater systems
Obtain base station geo-redundancy
Experience seamless integration with the core connected MultiTech Platform
The powerful DAMM Service Box SB422 delivers full functionality for up to two DAMM BS422s. It includes a power supply, a PC and an ethernet switch and allows connection of an external backup battery.
Key benefits: Powerful PC platform and switching, status overview at a glance, maximum resilience and capacity.

The Commonwealth of Australia’s (CoA) Directorate of Operations and Training Area Management (DOTAM) have selected DAMM's MultiTech BS422 Base Stations for their new Training Area Safety Network, servicing 28 Defence training areas across Australia.
TETRA has a unique way of removing background noise from speech. With TETRA, voice messages are perfectly audible allowing clear and uninterrupted communication even in the noisiest and most extreme of environments. In this video we have tested an analog radio, smartphone and TETRA radio on voice quality in an offshore environment.
