Hytera DMR communications network for Jordan Public Security Directorate

Jordan’s Public Security Directorate has expanded its mission-critical communications infrastructure with a nationwide Hytera DMR Tier III trunking system.

The network now supports more than 10,000 portable and mobile radios, around 100 base stations and 57 dispatch workstations.

According to a Hytera case study, deployment began in 2015 as the Jordan Public Security Directorate (PSD) sought to replace outdated communications equipment and improve coverage across the country. The previous network had limited reach, particularly in remote areas, and could not support the range of services and applications required by the agency.

Nationwide DMR network

Hytera implemented its DMR Tier III trunking solution in phases. The system currently includes four mobile switching offices, around 100 base stations with nearly 700 carriers, more than 10,000 portable and mobile radios and 57 dispatch workstations.

The mobile switching offices are distributed across Jordan’s central, northern and southern regions. Each manages a group of base stations, while the switching offices can also interconnect. Hytera said the system continues to expand.

The network provides coverage across densely populated urban areas, rural regions, highways and remote locations. Compact outdoor base stations can be installed on walls, poles or vehicles to support deployment in different environments.

Hytera said the system also makes efficient use of available UHF spectrum. Geographic and equipment redundancy is provided for critical system components.

Secure multi-agency communications

The network supports system authentication and end-to-end encryption for devices. It can also interconnect with existing TETRA, PSTN and conventional radio infrastructure, allowing communications between agencies using different networks.

The DMR system serves public security organizations including traffic police, anti-narcotics police, civil defense and the Gendarmerie Forces.

It has also supported the National Center for Security and Crisis Management in coordinating agencies and institutions during responses to natural disasters.

According to Hytera, the upgraded system has extended communications services to areas that were previously uncovered. The architecture is also designed to avoid bottlenecks and single points of failure while allowing different organizations to operate over the same nationwide network.
