Decentralized architecture



Think big, start small, scale fast – with a decentralized architecture


Companies with a successful critical communications radio platform think in terms of total life-cycle costs and economics. With DAMM TetraFlex® solutions you can achieve the lowest possible cost of ownership, in CAPEX as well as OPEX. Based on a decentralized architecture, the DAMM TETRA system frees you to scale up, scale down and move around – at the speed you need. Offering full redundancy and an intelligent decentralized architecture, DAMM TetraFlex provides operation-critical communications to support your daily business.

Distributed intelligence

DAMM TetraFlex is a true distributed concept that enables easy and seamless scaling of networks. All basic network functions are present in each node, and all nodes have the same capabilities. All vital information is shared and replicated and is present on all nodes in the entire network. Adding a node to the network is thus also adding extra intelligence and processing power to the system – and when it comes to coverage and capacity there is no upper limit for expansion.

A decentralized architecture means no single point of failure

With all system information constantly replicated to all sites in the network, it means that the system does not have any single point of failure. This way, local call and data traffic will continue without interruption. All features will remain intact, even if one or more local sites lose connection to the rest of the network. The flat decentralized IP architecture and intuitive software also enable effortless, self-configuring site expansion. You can add or integrate all network components, including base stations, dispatchers, network management facilities and external gateways at any time, even while the system is in operation.

Choose the right infrastructure, applications and terminals

Start by choosing the right infrastructure that matches your needs – a task made easy thanks to the easily scalable, modular DAMM TETRA system. Then choose the best applications for your critical communication system. Finally, as an independent TETRA infrastructure provider, DAMM has developed TetraFlex for full interoperability (IOP) with all TETRA terminals, allowing you to freely choose and combine any of your favourite terminal brands. In this way you are freed from bundled package deals.
