Motorola Solutions MTS4L Low Cost and High Performance TETRA Base Station
The MTS4L TETRA/LTE Base Station provides a flexible path for the addition of LTE to complement a TETRA system. By provisioning for the addition of an eNodeB into the TETRA Base Station cabinet, Motorola is offering a highly flexible migration solution for TETRA operators. The MTS4L can be installed as a TETRA only base station, but it can include the services for the eNodeB such as shared backhaul, and battery backup. These services can be installed at the start or they can be upgraded at a later time when needed by customers. Most importantly the MTS4L footprint is unchanged when the eNodeB is installed and so the upgrade is very simple and fast with minimal disturbance to TETRA service.
Flexible System Capacity
With built-in system capabilities such as Common Secondary Control Channel, Preferred Subscriber Class and Valid Sites, our powerful MTS base stations are able to minimise localised congestion problems. Such advanced features truly set Motorola Solutions MTS base stations apart from conventional solutions.

Top features of the Motorola Solutions MTS4L Low Cost and High Performance TETRA Base Station
Flexible Capacity & Coverage
The MTS4L is a high performance base station with state-of-the-art capacity and coverage enhancing capabilities:
- Common Secondary Control Channel (C-SCCH) – additional control channels on the main carrier, quadrupling existing capacity.
- ‘Best-in-class’ transmitter output power and receiver sensitivity, together with various diversity options, enables a reduction in the number of sites required to achieve a given level of coverage, with increased data performance and enhanced audio quality.
- The flexibility of connecting up to 8 base radios to one Receiving/Transmitting antenna, easing
implementation costs and reducing cycle time. - Provision for eNode B in the same cabinet as the TETRA BTS
- Rapid installation of eNobe B as a future upgrade with minimum cost and disruption
- Migration flexibility, choose frequency and roll-out when appropriate
Optimised Total Cost Of Ownership
The running costs of base station sites typically account for a significant portion of the total cost of ownership of any TETRA network. MTS4L base stations are specifically designed with advanced features that help to minimise operational expenditures. Such features enable:
- Optimised power consumption through use of high efficiency processing and amplification platforms – delivering significant operational cost savings over the network’s lifetime.
- Reduced transmission costs – native support using IP-over-Ethernet capability means that the MTS4L can enable up to 70% savings compared with non-IP based transmission.
- Reduced battery capacity requirement and low heat dissipation due to excellent power efficiency.
With a strong integrated battery charger, power supply costs are kept to a minimum.
