We are committed to ensure that all DMR products reach the market within a successful, open, multi-vendor chain and that our members gain from continuous, competitive development.
Leveraging DMR TWG Software for Compliant Device Certification
The DMR Association's Technical Working Group (TWG) is responsible for interoperability, compliance, testing, and the organisation of laboratory test sessions. To certify their equipment, DMR manufacturers are required to deploy a suite of IOP tests developed by the TWG.
Acknowledging the importance of standardising the compilation of test session results, the DMR TWG has developed software tools that facilitate the easy reading, review, and validation of test results within a consistent format, and provide some automation in the validation process by comparing test results with a reference maintained by the TWG.
These valuable IOP Tools Applications and Documentation are readily available to all Category 1 members on the DMR Association website within the following folder structure:
- (TWG) Technical Working Group Documents
- DMR Interoperability (IOP)
- IOP Tools Applications and Documentation
Category 1 Members who are considering participating in IOP test sessions are strongly encouraged to download these applications and actively use them to provide critical feedback to our developers.
The DMR Applications Interface (AIS) represents a significant advancement in the digital mobile radio (DMR) ecosystem, supporting standardised interoperability between diverse technologies and manufacturers.

DMR enables a single 12.5 kHz channel to support two simultaneous and independent calls. This is achieved using TDMA, Time Division Multiple Access. Under TDMA DMR retains the 12.5 kHz channel width and divides it into two alternating
timeslots A and B where each timeslot acts as a separate communication path.
Each communication path is active for half of the time in 12.5 kHz of bandwidth, each uses an equivalent bandwidth of half x 12.5 kHz or 6.25 kHz. This is known as having an efficiency of one talk path per 6.25kHz of spectrum. However with DMR the channel as a whole maintains the same profile as an analogue 12.5kHz signal.
This means that DMR radios operate in the licence holders existing 12.5 kHz or 25 kHz channels; there is therefore no need for re-banding or re-licensing but at the channel capacity is doubled. Read More

Optimising standards, extending capabilities, and reducing costs through the creation of multiple and mutually compatible products.
The primary goal is to specify affordable digital systems with low complexity. DMR provides voice, data and other supplementary services. Today, products designed to its specifications are sold in all regions of the world.
