Solutions for Land Mobile Radio (LMR) Systems

Why SEL?

SEL devices are installed throughout the global electric grid and many other industries that demand continuous availability, like petroleum refineries and water and wastewater systems. Whenever a first responder trusts electric power to reliably charge their handheld radio, they’re probably already being served by SEL technology.

Just like the other critical systems we protect, emergency services need equipment they can trust. Our solutions operate dependably without human intervention for years, enduring temperatures from –40° to +85°C (–40° to +185°F).

Our LMR solution is interoperable with major radio vendors, and because we perform our own manufacturing, we can offer lead times of ten days or less for most products. And with our ten-year warranty, no-cost repair service, and complimentary around-the-clock support based in the United States, radio managers can always reach an SEL engineer for help.

End-to-End LMR System Support

  1. Precise Timing

    The SEL-2488 Satellite-Synchronized Network Clock reliably synchronizes each repeater site in the LMR network and equipment in public safety answering points (PSAPs).

  2. Resilient and Cybersafe IP Networks

    The SEL-2731 and SEL 2742 Ethernet Switches create secure and resilient LANs with operational technology (OT) software-defined networking (SDN).

  3. Flexible Networking

    The SEL ICON Integrated Communications Optical Network provides flexible voice transport services and wide-area networking.

  4. Remote Monitoring

    An SEL Real-Time Automation Controller (RTAC), like the SEL-3350 RTAC and SEL-2240 Axion, allows you to remotely monitor the entire system from one interface.

  5. Rugged Computing

    Rugged computers like the SEL-3355 protect the operation of critical software at remote sites without climate control.

LMR Solution Components

The SEL-2488 Satellite-Synchronized Network Clock ensures LMR audio clarity by keeping each repeater site in sync—and never requires downtime for periodic maintenance.

  • Leverage GPS signals to establish timing precision, then distribute time and frequency via multiple 10 MHz and 1 pulse per second (PPS) outputs or achieve time synchronization through the Precision Time Protocol (PTP).
  • Ensure reliable timekeeping in the event of GPS disruption with redundant internal timekeeping, with a holdover accuracy of up to 2.5 microseconds after 24 hours.
  • Maintain compliance with Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) timekeeping requirements for call recording equipment with precisely synchronized equipment in PSAPs.
  • Build a complete precise-time solution with accessories like the SEL-9524 GNSS Antenna, LMR-400 coaxial cabling, and gas tube coaxial surge protector.
