The Transportable Repeater offers true base station performance

The Tait Transportable Repeater is suitable as a talk-through repeater or as a line-connected base station.*

The Transportable Repeater can notify you of potential issues within the base station, before they occur, by using the built-in Task Manager. The Task Manager gives the transportable TB8100 and TB9100 the flexibility to dynamically respond to changes in the base station itself.

For example, a low battery condition could trigger the reduction of Tx power and cause an alarm to be sent.
