XPT Trunking
Single-site and Multi-site
eXtended Pseudo Trunking (XPT)
Experience Enhanced Communication Efficiency with Hytera’s XPT System
Hytera’s innovative eXtended Pseudo Trunking (XPT) system offers the benefits of a trunked radio network at a more affordable price. Built on the ETSI DMR Tier II Conventional Standard, XPT integrates advanced functionalities typically associated with the more expensive Tier III trunking systems.
XPT enhances DMR Tier II repeater systems by optimizing channel capacity and introducing new features, all without the need for additional radio infrastructure hardware investments.
Extended Pseudo Trunk (XPT)
The eXtended Pseudo Trunk (XPT) system is an advanced communication solution built using multiple Hytera repeaters interconnected through a straightforward network switch. Each XPT system supports up to 8 repeaters per site, offering a total of 16 voice channels capable of accommodating over one thousand users. These traffic channels are highly customizable, allowing for seamless transmission of both voice and data.
XPT systems are designed for scalability, enabling expansion beyond local areas through routed IP connections that link distant XPT systems.

The Advantages of XPT Trunking
- Seamless Migration to XPT: Transitioning from conventional DMR to XPT trunking is straightforward, particularly for users of Hytera DMR repeaters. Migration involves simply adding a license to the repeaters, reprogramming them, and incorporating a network switch for communication. This eliminates the need for extensive system overhauls, preserving existing infrastructure while expanding communication capacity.
- No Need for a Dedicated Control Channel: One of the standout features of XPT Trunking is its dynamic channel allocation without the need for an expensive and dedicated Control Channel frequency. Unlike Tier III DMR Digital Trunking, XPT DMR Tier II Trunking does not require an FCC FB8 control channel frequency, which demands a special and often costly FCC license. XPT optimizes channel usage through beacons sent by each repeater, keeping field radios informed of system status without the need for a constant control channel.
- Cost-Effective Trunking Capabilities: The XPT Trunking system offers a cost-efficient solution to simulate a trunked radio system using current resources. XPT supports trunking across all 16 voice channels at a site, enhancing system efficiency by utilizing available frequencies for voice traffic instead of dedicating them to control channels. This is particularly beneficial for smaller systems starting with just two XPT repeaters, as it maximizes channel usage and system efficiency.
- User-Friendly Operation: XPT trunking, built on the DMR Tier II standard, ensures ease of use with minimal user intervention. Switching talkgroups is as simple as turning the channel knob on the radio, eliminating the need to manually select the appropriate repeater or locate group members. XPT manages these functions in the background, providing reliable and confident communication.
- Multi-Site Access and Roaming: XPT provides the capability for talkgroups to access multiple sites, mirroring the functionalities of Tier III trunking. It supports multi-site access and roaming between sites with overlapping coverage, ensuring seamless communication across expansive areas.
