Motorola SLR 5500 — 50W with 100% Duty Cycle and -121 dBm Receiver
1-50W continuously adjustable RF output with 100% duty cycle for 24/7 operation without thermal throttling, and a high-sensitivity -121 dBm receiver (12 dB SINAD) extending coverage radius up to 30% versus previous-generation repeaters. 1U rack-mount with integrated battery charger for UPS failover, supporting Capacity Plus and Connect Plus multi-site trunking with IP Site Connect. The industrial-grade argument: 100% duty cycle means the SLR 5500 runs at full power indefinitely — the choice for mines, refineries, and logistics hubs where a repeater failure is a safety incident.
Hytera HR655 — 50W Rack Repeater with XPT Trunking Value
50W rack-mount DMR repeater in the Hytera HR platform family, delivering the same headline output power as the SLR 5500 at a lower acquisition cost. Dual-slot TDMA doubles channel capacity on one frequency pair, and XPT pseudo-trunking delivers trunking behavior without licensing fees — the value proposition that wins price-sensitive tenders. For networks that run moderate traffic and can accept thermal headroom management rather than 100% duty guarantees, the HR655 delivers the same coverage footprint per watt at a budget that fits mid-size operations — the Motorola premium buys the duty-cycle guarantee and ecosystem lock-in.
