Endless Communications TM-990 LTE Push-to-Talk Mobile Radio

The Endless Communications TM-990 is an in-vehicle push-to-talk mobile radio that works over the cellular network rather than over VHF or UHF, so a driver stays on the same channel as handheld users anywhere the carrier reaches. It runs from the vehicle supply and carries no internal battery, so it is wired in rather than charged. A 2.4 inch colour display at 320 by 240 pixels is sized to read from the driver seat, and built-in GPS reports vehicle position back to a dispatcher. The chassis measures 199 x 135 x 72 mm and weighs 882 g. Supplied with an external antenna for reception, a wired microphone and a mounting bracket offering several fitting positions.

Endless also provides web-based tracking and dispatch software that locates every unit nationwide, records transmissions for later review, raises geofence and excessive-speed alerts, and lets a supervisor talk to the fleet from a desktop, with training and support included.

Who it is for

Endless Communications designs the TM-990 mobile unit to be mounted in a vehicle: the included bracket mounts it from above, below or from the back, and the external antenna is there for reliable reception. Endless Communications describes push to talk over cellular as working like a walkie-talkie while using 4G LTE cellular data on existing cell phone towers, for nationwide coverage around the corner or across the country. Endless says each unit arrives ready to use and can be customized to a specific person, vehicle or station, and a call can go to the entire team, a sub-group or one team member.

Licence

Using the TM-990 through its cellular data service does not require the customer to obtain an FCC Part 90 private land mobile radio licence. A compatible data and push-to-talk service is required, and CMI confirms the carrier options with you when you order.
