dPMR is a digital radio protocol specifically targeting highly functional solutions by using low cost and low complexity technology.
dPMR is a narrowband (6,25 kHz) FDMA technology that is 100% digital
that offers many forms of voice and/or data applications. More >>
This
group was established in 2007 to provide a forum for all
interested parties who wished to support the latest digital
PMR radio technology known as dPMR. The group currently includes
radio manufacturers, chip manufacturers, protocol and software
developers and systems developers. All these members have
expressed the common aim of working together to ensure the
success of dPMR.
One of the core requirements for success of any new technology is
interoperability. The dPMR association will be active in ensuring
an independant validation of interworking between dPMR products from
different manufacturers
and authorising the use of a specific dPMR logo for compliant equipment.
These interoperability tests will also be based on ETSI standards.
MEMBERS - dPMR Association
Despite
dPMR being European ETSI standards, our membership is derived
from virtually all corners of the globe. These members are
also major players in the radiocommunications industry so
we can confidently look forward to the continued success
of this new technology.
The dPMR Associationis open to any manufacturer, supplier, user group,
administration, laboratory etc who also shares our aims for promoting
narrowband FDMA technology. Such has been the interest that the group
has virtually doubled in size in just over one years existence. Members

What is dPMR?
dPMR is digital radio protocol specifically
targeting highly functional solutions by using low cost and
low complexity technology. dPMR is a narrowband (6,25 kHz)
FDMA technology that is 100% digital that offers many forms
of voice and/or data applications.
The FDMA protocol specified in both TS102 490 and TS102 658 ETSI
standards complies with the European Harmonised Standard EN301 166-2
for use in 6,25 kHz channels.
dPMR is an ETSI Standard... Why is this important?
ETSI standards could be described in general as being 'definitions
and specifications for products and processes requiring repeated
use'. They are certainly a set of rules for ensuring quality.
Q1: What does “narrowband” really mean?
A1: This should probably be clarified before anything else. To
keep things simple, narrowband in its current form would refer
to the use of 12.5 kHz channels for two-way PMR/LMR radio communication.
However, as 6.25 kHz technologies exist, these would be considered
“ultra-narrowband” or “very narrowband”.
Despite dPMR being European ETSI standards, our membership is derived from virtually
all corners of the globe. These members are also major players
in the radiocommunications industry so we can confidently look
forward to the continued success of this new technology.
The dPMR Association is open to any manufacturer, supplier, user
group, administration, laboratory etc who also shares our aims
for promoting
narrowband FDMA technology. Such has been the interest that the
group has virtually doubled in size in just over one years existence.

The dPMR Association would like to thank all of it’s members for their kind contribution
to help the people effected by the Japanese Earth quake disaster.
The funds raised have been donated to the RED CROSS.
So far, the Japanese Red Cross has deployed 115 national disaster
response teams, with more than 730 staff members, including doctors
and nurses.
In 2012 the Association has made a commitment to help UNICEF the
world's leading children's charity. Right now, children across
Africa are facing hunger and starvation. The dPMR Association are
committed to raise funds to help where it is needed the most.
November 2011
The dPMR MoU is proud to announce that members have agreed to change
its name from dPMR MoU to dPMR Association.
The change of name
reflects the growth of its membership base over the years.
This group was established in 2007 to provide a forum for all interested parties
who wished to support new, very narrow band and digital 6.25kHz
FDMA based radio technologies. The group currently includes 14
members, ranging from radio manufacturers, chip manufacturers,
protocol and software developers to systems developers. All these
members have expressed the common aim of working together to ensure
the success of very narrow band 6.25kHz FDMA based technologies. More
