Pacific Electronics Inc. supplied a Tait Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) communications solution, integrated with console equipment from Essential Trading Systems Corp. The communications network operates across seven sites, utilizing Tait DMR Tier 3 trunking, TB9300 base stations, and mid-tier Dell network controllers with a high availability feature for redundancy backup. 34 ETC CS -64 Desktop Consoles are connected to the network via a multicast gateway, and a Tait Network Gateway that converts the audio to 4-wire E&M.

In addition to the reliable field communications provided by the Tait DMR network, the ETC consoles are an effective and affordable access point to the network for people in stations.
