Overview

BCP20506
Compact water-resistant wireless handset set with LCD display
No cabling required between the main RF unit, the control handset
and the speaker
The handset cradle and wireless speaker only require a power
supply between 10 and 18 V DC
Wireless handset operation and display identical to existing 2050
control heads
Wireless handset operates up to 7m from the vehicle(environment dependent)
Supports Multiple speakers
The protocol between the handset, speaker and the HF transceiver RF module is proprietary and not based on any current wireless protocols such as Bluetooth© and 802.11.
This protocol and the spread spectrum frequency selection are specifically designed to operate in high RF environments from HF through to VHF and UHF.
The handset can be removed from the vehicle by the authorised operator disabling the use of the HF transceiver when unattended.
For fleet use a security tethering cord is supplied to avoid the unit being removed from the vehicle.
The handset has internal batteries (not user replaceable to preclude easy removal) and is charged by the mounting cradle that comes in two parts enabling mounting on a dash top or a dash vertical face.
Teaming the 2050 transceiver with other 2000 series products provides email, fax, telephone and data connectivity within an HF network and onwards to both the international telephone network and the internet.
Following installation and on initial power up the HF transceiver RF module automatically ‘pairs’ the speaker and handset to itself with a unique security code. This ensures that if vehicles are operated in close proximity their respective wireless links do not interfere with each other.
2050 Generic Features
Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
A single DSP chip provides modulation and demodulation of all on air signalling used in the ALE, Selective Call and syllabic mute processes and provides noise reduction of received signals.
Frequency hopping option
A simple to operate, unique frequency hopping system that has no network entry time or late entry time. Simply enter the hop band, cipher key number and talk.
Simple architecture
The transceiver uses only two microprocessors, the main processor uses a soft loaded core while the second processor is used within the wireless handset to operate the display and keypad.
Size and weight
The 2050 in a local control configuration measures only 185(w) x 270(d) x 70(h) and weighs less than 2.6 kg. Housed in a lightweight, extremely strong sealed aluminium chassis, 2050 meets MIL-STD 810G for drop,
dust, temperature, shock and vibration.
GPS tracking
An option that supports connection to an external GPS receiver(NOT included in this pack) for tracking applications using the Barrett 977 tracking system.
Direct dial telephone calls
“Telcall” option provides direct dialling access with Barrett Communications’ HF Telephone Interconnects and most interconnects from other manufacturers.
“SMS Pagecall”
Allows short text messages to be sent from one 2050 transceiver to another. Barrett 2050 transceivers have alpha-numeric input keys(similar to mobile phones) that allow direct text message input (without the need for an external PC or Palm type input device).
HF email fax and data
The 2050 transceiver auxiliary connector is fully featured to interface to a variety of external modems including the Barrett 2020 HF email system.
The Barrett 2020 Email fax & data system is ideal for the provision of full telecommunication facilities within organizations with remote-sited operations with no existing communication infrastructure.
The 2020 provides a simple automatic interface for speech, data, fax and email among all stations in the HF Network with full connectivity to internet, email and fax facilities via the international telephone network.
With this kit, no GPS antenna is visible on vehicle exterior when using the GPS receiver(NOT Included in this pack) fitted internally in the 2019 automatic tuning mobile antenna.
