Hytera XPT
Hytera XPT: Smarter Trunking Without the Heavy Infrastructure
Hytera XPT (Extended Pseudo Trunking) brings the power of trunked radio systems to DMR Tier II users—without the complexity or cost of a Tier III setup. Developed by Hytera, XPT expands the capabilities of conventional DMR systems by dynamically assigning channels across up to 8 linked repeaters. The result? Up to 16 voice channels, scalable capacity for over 1,000 users, and the flexibility to carry voice or data as needed. Best of all, it runs on your existing Hytera repeater hardware with just a license upgrade and a standard network switch—no control channels, no new frequencies, no problem.
Scalable Trunking for Growing Operations
Whether you’re managing a utility grid, a logistics fleet, or a campus-wide security team, Hytera XPT gives you high-capacity group communication and real-time responsiveness across wide areas. Easily expand beyond a single site with IP-linked XPT systems to cover multiple locations. The system retains all Tier II capabilities—text messaging, GPS tracking, voice and data—while offering trunking-like performance and spectrum efficiency. If you’re already running Hytera repeaters or IP Connect, upgrading to XPT is a simple, strategic next step that boosts your network’s power without overhauling your entire system.
Key Benefits of the Hytera XPT
Easy Migration Without the Headache
Already using Hytera DMR repeaters? Upgrading to XPT is seamless. Add a license, plug in a network switch, reprogram your repeaters—and you’re ready to go. No new infrastructure. No overhaul. Just smarter use of what you already have.
Grows With You
XPT is built to scale. Start with a single site and expand to multiple locations as your needs grow—up to 16 connected sites, all roaming-enabled. There’s no need to replace your system when your team or territory expands.
Intuitive for Your Team
XPT keeps communication simple. Radios operate just like they would on a standard DMR system. Switching talk groups? Just turn the channel knob. No need to guess which repeater to use—XPT handles the routing automatically.
High Capacity Without the High Cost
Support up to 16 voice and 16 data channels and over 1,000 radios per site—more than a typical DMR setup. Built-in roaming and multi-site connectivity keep your entire operation talking without added complexity.
Built-In Security and Encryption
XPT protects your system with authorization keys and encryption. Calls hop between channels, making it nearly impossible for unauthorized listeners to follow. Built-in DMR and AES 128-bit encryption lock down your communications.
More Channels, No Control Channel Needed
Unlike Tier III systems, XPT doesn’t tie up a dedicated control channel. Every frequency can be used for voice or data, maximizing system efficiency—especially important on smaller systems where every channel counts.
