Entel DX485
The DX485 is a digital two way radio from Entel. An Ingres protection ration of IP68 means that the DX485s is completely protected against dust, whilst also being able to be submerged in water for extended periods of time. Built to military standards (MIL-STD-810 C/D/E/F/G) the DX485s is rugged and reliable, conforming to stringent standards the radio is able to withstand the rigours of shock, vibration and corrosive effects from dust and moisture.
Mixed mode operation means that the DX485s can receive both DMR Digital and Analogue without the operator having to change channel, this mixed mode capability being useful where both analogue and digital radios are being used together during a migration of systems. A keylock is also present with the DX485s in order to avoid accidental operation, this feature will lock functionality of your keys either through request of the user or after a pre-set period of time.
The DX485s makes use of a personal attack button, once activated the radio will send an alarm call to other radios in the group, whilst also emitting a high-pitched noise from the radio as a deterrent. Lone Worker is also a feature available with the DX485s, monitoring activity levels should a radio be stationary for a pre-set period of time an alert will be sent out to other radios within the group.

Entel DX485 Features Explained
Taken from our knowledge base, we explain each feature of the Entel DX485.
Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)
TDMA is a technology that allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different time slots. With DMR this is two time slots to every 12.5KHz frequency channel allocation.
Before DMR every 12.5KHz frequency allocation could carry just one broadcast of RF traffic. Now with DMR 12.5KHz bandwidth allows two voice channels.
See the video for an explanation on how this works.
Read more about TDMA in our Knowledge Base.
Two Way Radio Transmit Interrupt
Transmit interrupt ensures that critical message gets through.
Transmit interrupt allows for a priority message to be sent to all radios within your network. Interrupting all ongoing conversations, this feature is commonly used in emergency situations or as a way to offer new instructions to workers.
When purchasing two way radios you can choose to only have this feature programmed to radios that will be used by senior members of staff. This minimizes the potential for it to be abused by workers, meaning that should it ever need to be used all members of staff will be aware of its importance.
Read more about Transmit Interrupt in our Knowledge Base.
Lone Worker
Lone Worker is a feature found on many two way radios where it's able to send a pre-determined signal, for example a distress call or alarm, to other radios in range, Lone Worker requires some type of interaction from the radio user after a period of radio inactivity.
An example of this is the radio can be set to require the radio operator to interact with his or her radio once every 30 minutes. If they fail to do so, their radio will start making an audible sound. If there is still no interaction with his or her radio within 1 further minute, a alarm will sound to other team members to tell them a team member is not responding to Lone Worker.
The supervisor can then dispatch another team member to the non-response team member's last known location to offer assistance.
Read more about Lone Worker in our Knowledge Base.
Voice Activation (VOX)
VOX (voice-operated exchange), more commonly known as Voice Activation, allows the two way radio's microphone and PTT button to be activated by simply speaking into the radio.
How To Use VOX
Most two way radios' voice activation feature only works via an external VOX capable earpiece or headset. Once connected, you simply start speaking and the two way radio will automatically initiate the transmission. When there is no longer any audio coming via your earpiece or headset, the two way radio automatically disengages the PTT.
Activating VOX
Most business grade licence exempt two way radios allow activating the voice activation feature via a button combination on the radio; or by simply plugging in a vox capable earpiece or headset. However, some more complex two way radios, such as our licensed two way radios will require some reprogramming.
VOX Drawbacks
Since VOX works by listening out for audio via the attached accessory, background noise that's near to the sound of a human voice will also activate it. That means practically anything can activate the voice activation.
