MRC-200L Tactical Link Repeater System

MRC-200L Tactical Link Repeater System

The MRC-200L Tactical Link Repeater System (TLRS) uses the AN/PRC-148 retrans enabled plain text or cipher text radios. The MRC-200L is based on a MicroBlaze Soft Microprocessor implemented on a Xilinx Spartan-3E Field programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The TLRS provides local area repeater functionality along with the added feature of linking two or more repeater networks or a repeater network and a base station through the use of a third multiband AN/PRC-148 and a second 50 Watt amplifier (adjustable for 12, 25 or 50 Watts). The combined retransmission and repeater capabilities make the TLRS the ideal system for cross-band repeater linking applications.

The TLRS is used in conjunction with modern multi-band, multi-mission handheld radio systems to enhance their operation by providing longer range and better overall performance utilizing a series of field interchangeable duplexers and role specific antennas. The TLRS can be deployed as a standalone package or is ideally suited to quick fit installation in a variety of land, air, and maritime platforms. The TLRS ensures reliable and flexible communications and provides significant increase in capability for the deployed handheld radio user. An integrated microphone interface allows the TLRS to be used as a base station.

25 Watt Multiband Capability:
25 Watts (typical) across the 30-512 MHZ band for both the TX side of the repeater and the Link radio. Antennas are field interchangeable and can be selected according to role, mission, and platform requirements.

Frequency Agility and Diversity:
Field interchangeable Duplexers allow the TRS to operate within an allocated frequency range in the 30-512 MHz band, providing co-site interference protection and system optimization.

Integrated Power Supply/Smart Charger Technology:
Advanced Lithium-Ion battery chargers and power management technologies enable the TRS to operate from a wide range of AC and DC power sources, and provide UPS back-up in the event of power failure.

Ethernet and USB Interface:
An Ethernet interface allows for wired or wireless remote control and monitoring of all operating functions on a remote host computer GUI. This feature can be used to alert the operators of system malfunctions and to provide state of charge information for any smart batteries installed in the unit.
