Introducing TMX550 – Work Smarter Everywhere, Every Time

Tait's TMX550 radio

If you’re familiar with TAIT AXIOM Mobiles, the new TMX550 offers more of what you know, with some useful new options. Both devices feature dual SIM slots, to connect to two cellular networks for greater coverage or redundancy and can provide a mobile WiFi hotspot for smart devices working in and around the vehicle, greatly increasing their range through powerful vehicle mounted antennas. Much like the TMX450, the TMX550 allows field staff to work smarter, everywhere they go.

The TMX550 is fundamentally an LTE mobile radio, with gateway access to DMR networks. Users can rely on national cellular carriers to stay connected to dispatch and teams – including users on radio networks, via optional DMR Network Gateway.

This mobile features a handheld control head, that can be easily installed anywhere in the vehicle, with an inbuilt 3W speaker. The control head cable can be easily extended to the required length, using the Power over Ethernet connection.

It also improves on the hardware connectivity capabilities of the TMX450, featuring a standard 12 pin connection and 9 pin serial RS232 port, for greater in‑vehicle machine‑to‑machine connectivity options, for adding audio accessories and sensors. Future releases will also include options for a 10 pin connector, and 4 port RJ45 ethernet router, making it an impressive hub for all of your in‑vehicle technology.

Greater machine interface connectivity expands the potential for automation in the TMX550. It also includes the AppBuilder functionality found in the TMX450, enabling custom workflow automations. With access to more types of auxiliary devices and sensors, even more kinds of data can be processed at the edge, and more jobs can be automated, saving time and reducing risk.

The TMX550 represents a device designed for today’s broadband connected workforce, that can still connect to users on LMR networks when necessary, while taking advantage of the smart capability we expect from communication devices today.

The TMX550 is available to order in Europe, UK, Middle East and Africa.
