Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) Communications
Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) is a globally recognised standard for digital two-way radio communication. It enables seamless interoperability between devices from different manufacturers—such as Motorola Solutions and JVC Kenwood—across any DMR-compliant network, including Australia’s Orion Network.
DMR technology delivers clear audio, extended range and enhanced security. It also supports integrated data applications like text messaging, GPS location tracking and dispatch functionality, making it a powerful tool for connected teams.
As the fastest-growing digital radio technology worldwide, DMR is valued for its cost-effectiveness, flexibility and ease of integration. It offers a smooth migration path from analogue systems, with full backward compatibility—ideal for sites operating both analogue and digital radios.
Widely adopted in mining, construction and industrial sectors, DMR is trusted where safety, productivity and connectivity are critical. CSE Crosscom partners with the Orion Network—the largest DMR network in Australia—to deliver high-performance communication solutions tailored to demanding environments.

DMR System Options
DMR platforms are highly flexible, making them ideal for a wide range of sectors including social services, transport and logistics, local government, waste management and security.
CSE Crosscom delivers both simple and complex DMR solutions, offering cost-effective systems tailored to your operational needs. We specialise in Tier II and Tier III modes, ensuring scalable communication networks that grow with your organisation.
DMR Tier II is designed as a simple, cost-effective digital upgrade from conventional analogue two-way radio systems. It supports licensed conventional radio networks, including mobile and handheld devices operating in the UHF (403–520 MHz) and VHF (148–174 MHz) bands.
This system is ideal for organisations needing reliable voice communication, improved spectral efficiency and integrated IP data services. Operating on a two-slot TDMA protocol within 12.5 kHz channels, DMR Tier II delivers clear, efficient communication in high-power environments—making it a smart choice for teams transitioning from analogue.
