INTRODUCTION TO PULSE DMR
Simoco Pulse DMR Products
Product Proposition
Simoco Pulse RTU products provide a method of radio
telemetry for many applications on a trunked digital
network.
The Simoco Pulse RTUs use a private, secure, robust
and reliable DMR standard backbone.
If desired the network can simultaneously support both
voice and data.
Terminology
Telemetry – also often referred to as;
SCADA – Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition
Control and information gathering for remote equipment,
typically used in electrical production and or distribution,
water treatment and supply, oil and gas pipelines and wind
farms.
RTU– Remote Terminal (Telemetry) Unit
Device that interfaces physical equipment (e.g. generator,
switch, motor) to the SCADA system.
Terminology
Data Modem – Connects RTU to radio system
DMR – Digital Mobile Radio
PMR – Private Mobile Radio
UHF – Ultra High Frequency
Simoco Pulse Overview
Simoco Pulse products enable organisations to
deploy SCADA telemetry over a reliable and cost
effective narrowband (12.5kHz) channel using the
latest digital technology (DMR).
Simoco Pulse overcomes all the issues associated
with deploying telemetry applications over
unlicensed UHF and cellular data bearers.

Simoco Pulse DMR RTU
• Can be deployed anywhere within the DMR
system coverage footprint.
• Inputs (digital and analogue) generate unsolicited
telemetry protocol messages sent on DMR
control channel to control system.
• Outputs (digital and analogue) can be driven by
sending telemetry protocol messages on DMR
control channel from control system.
• RSSI LEDs on front panel for rapid site installation
and commissioning.

Simoco Xd DMR Tier III Overview
• Fully distributed radio network designed to DMR ETSI Tier III
air-interface standards
• Provides wireless coverage over the operational area
• Data modem & Gateway end points compliant to DNP3
protocol
• Automated call routing through the network
Simoco Xd DMR Tier III
Control and Registration
• Each site continuously transmits a control channel
• Data modems power on and find the strongest signal to
‘register’
• Stay on channel unless problem with site, then move to another
channel for resilience, or can be fixed to a site.
• Control channel ensures data modems are always time
synchronised with base-station
Secondary Control Channel
• 2 slot TDMA provides second ‘timeslot’ so can double site
capacity
• Same hardware provides both slots (e.g. one voice, one data)
Simoco Pulse DMR Solution Summary
• Simoco Xd Telemetry Solutions enable standard SCADA
telemetry to be deployed over DMR Tier III trunking.
• Two product variants enable fully integrated DMR RTUs
to be deployed or interface to existing 3rd party RTUs.
• Reliability and low operational costs resulting from
licensed PMR.
Simoco Pulse DMR Advantages
• Addresses issues of some competitive RTU products
– DMR reliable distributed architecture on licensed frequencies
– Scalable for thousands of devices on DMR Tier III trunked system
– Low operating costs due to reliability and CAPEX investment
– Coverage for the operational region by design
• RTUs seamlessly share the DMR system with other voice and data
users.
• Industry standard interface protocols DNP3, IEC 60870-5-101,
Modbus.
• Two products enable existing RTUs to be interfaced via DMR network
and new integrated DMR RTUs to be cost efficiently deployed.

Tait GridLink
First considering the issues with 1 & 2…
UNLICENSED UHF ISSUES
• Reliability
– Unlicensed frequencies suffer interference,
particularly with temporary deployments e.g.
temporary traffic lights on same frequencies.
– Public cellular suffers variable service levels as
no control over other users.
• Scalability
– Unlicensed is limited due to data call collisions
and variable use of the same frequencies by
other users.
– No control over infrastructure throughput ability
on public cellular.
UNLICENSED UHF ISSUES
• Operating Costs
– Deployment of unlicensed RTUs often involves additional
installation costs of multiple basestation repeaters.
– Reliability issues caused by unlicensed spectrum
represents high maintenance costs.
– Public cellular is typically mainly OPEX.
• Coverage
– Dedicated infrastructure build out costs for unlicensed.
– Impossible to achieve coverage in areas with high use of
unlicensed spectrum by other users.
– Compromised for public cellular especially with target
environment typically being remote.
UNLICENSED UHF ISSUES
Pricing
There is no direct price comparison as there are many
different products.
Pricing can be misleading as unlicensed UHF solutions
don’t have a system coverage footprint. Deploying a
single RTU can therefore involve installing several “hops”
to reach the control system or fixed line infrastructure.
Competitor Comparison
Simoco are not directly competing against these
unlicensed UHF products but more against the total
unlicensed UHF solution.
CELLULAR ISSUES
Suppliers
The list of cellular supplier is country dependent e.g. in
the UK is Vodafone, EE etc, in the US is AT&T, Verizon etc.
Pricing
Pricing will vary considerably between geographies and
depend upon the cellular pricing model split of
equipment cost vs data charges.
In all cases, deployment cost is significantly lower than
Simoco Pulse due to infrastructure build-out costs but
over a long-term Simoco Pulse is lower due to ongoing
data costs of cellular.
Simoco Pulse DMR Competitors
Suppliers
The only DMR supplier we are aware of with a telemetry solution
are Tait.
Tait have promoted their utility solutions heavily with MPT1327
and continue to do so with DMR through their GridLink product.
TAIT GRIDLINK
• Tait have a similar to Simoco Pulse in their
GridLink solution.
• They offer a single product
(TD9300) – see data sheet below
• Re-packaged mobile which works
as RTU or data modem
• Only 8 digital I/O & no analogue
• Big mobile footprint
• No RSSI indication
Simoco Competitive Edge over Tait GridLink
Tait GridLink
Simoco Pulse
8 digital inputs total.
5 product variants with different I/O
configurations. 32 digital & 4 analogue.
Based on a 25W mobile so higher power
but big footprint and consumes more
current.
Based on 5W portable so small footprint
and low power requirement. System
designed for 25W mobiles will perform
well with 5W devices that are static.
5 status LEDs for basic indications.
Pulse has all the Tait indications plus RSSI
LEDs which WPD stated as a critical
requirement to achieve fast deployment.
Gateway is in the Tait switch.
Pulse has 3 gateway options so is cheaper
for small/single site configurations and for
larger systems has all the advantages of
distributed architecture – see SimocoXd
sales presenter.

Pricing
No pricing is available for GridLink. We have obtained a recent
Tait price book but the TD9300 doesn’t feature.
It is likely that Tait are primarily selling GridLink directly rather
than through their distribution channels.
Competitor Comparison
Simoco will be directly competing against Tait as we have similar
solutions.
Simoco Pulse has a number of competitive advantages over
GridLink detailed above.
