The TM8260 dual band radio system is ideal for
public safety incident management where
cost-effective interoperability between
different groups of personnel is essential.
The high performance TM8260 system provides a flexible
solution for conventional radio communications in mission-
critical situations. It features dual radio bodies offering an
extended frequency range, controlled by a single control head.
With features such as cross-band linking and the ability to
receive and transmit simultaneously on two frequency bands,
the TM8260 enables emergency services to have reliable and
effective communications in any situation.
This system not only assists in co-operation between different
services, it enables supervisors to gain an overview and control
of the front line and connectivity to control centres.
Backed by more than 30 years of Tait experience, knowledge
and support, the TM8260 is much more than just a radio. It is
a cost-effective public safety solution designed to give the best
return for your organisation.

Easy to Read Display
The powerful TM8260 control head features a large
alphanumeric display, providing clear information for users such
as emergency response teams who rely on communications to
stay in control of highly unpredictable situations.
The easy-to-read display enables users to clearly and easily view
channel information, including text, icons and even GPS location
information. The services supported by the system are clearly
indicated, such as cross-band linking and dual transmit.
The TM8260 also features four function keys that can be
programmed for fast one-touch access to commonly used
features.
Intuitive Menu Structure
This radio features a comprehensive user-friendly menu that
allows easy navigation of all functions, including channel
access, display settings, dual transmit and receive, and cross-
band repeater mode.
Dual Transmit and Receive
In a TM8260 system, two separate frequency bands can be
monitored simultaneously with no manual switching needed.
Users can also transmit to two separate groups of personnel
at the same time, such as two emergency services working to-
gether in an incident situation. In normal operation the system
can also be programmed to work as a single radio.
Cross Band Linking
The TM8260 can operate as a cross-band repeater, where
transmissions received on one radio can automatically be
transmitted on the other. This would ensure reliable
communication between a control centre and personnel at a fire
scene, with no need to man and relay messages through the fire
appliance.
1500 Conventional Channels
Each radio in a TM8260 dual band system supports 1500
conventional channels and 300 scanning and voting groups.
This makes it an ideal communications solution where many
radio frequencies are deployed to provide communication
between different emergency services.
Remote Mounted Control Head
The control head for the TM8260 system is mounted separately
to the two radio bodies, allowing more flexibility for vehicle
installers particularly where space is limited. The remote control
head can be mounted up to six metres away from the radio
bodies.
GPS Location Display (Optional)
The TM8260 system can be connected to a GPS receiver, to im-
prove safety and efficiency where independent groups of users
are working together. When the radio is loaded with optional
GPS software, location information such as latitude, longitude,
course and speed can be viewed on the control head display.
This may be supplemented by the display of map reference in
various formats e.g. UTM, RTC.
Features
Robust RF Performance, Rugged Construction
The TM8260 has been developed using innovative RF design
and includes a number of features to maintain operation even
under harsh conditions.
The radio has been engineered with a strong diecast metal
chassis and almost entirely constructed using Surface Mount
Technology (SMT). It is IP54 rated and meets stringent
specifications for reliability including MIL-STD 810 C, D, E & F.
Advanced System Integration Capabilities
This radio has been designed with customisation in mind.
System integrators have maximum design flexibility with
multiple ports for auxiliary connectors and a large options
board area. A comprehensive range of development kits is
supported, which provide hardware and software tools for
customisation.
Optional Features:
Locking Security Cradle
High Speed Data Modem
