MTP850 vs MTP3500 — TETRA Flagship Data Terminal vs Class 3L Mid-Range

MTP850 — TETRA Flagship with Full Keypad, SDS, WAP, and TEA

The TETRA flagship for demanding operations: 2.0-inch display with full alphanumeric keypad, SDS text messaging for workforce dispatch, WAP data services for field applications, and TEA encryption for secure government and utility traffic. The complete TETRA feature set in one chassis — for agencies whose dispatchers rely on status messaging, job assignment, and secure group calls as the primary workflow, and where radio downtime is not an option. The reference standard for utility field crews and public-safety organizations that have standardized on TETRA infrastructure.

MTP3500 — Class 3L 1.8W with 2.0-Inch Display, WiFi, and GPS

The mid-range TETRA option: Class 3L 1.8W power-optimized RF output sized for dense urban and campus coverage, 2.0-inch display, built-in WiFi for local data sync, and GPS location for fleet tracking. Covers the essential TETRA feature set — voice, group calls, and location — at a lower acquisition cost than the flagship, making it the volume choice for large fleets that need reliable TETRA voice with tracking but do not require SDS/WAP data applications or the full keypad workflow.
