Entel designed and built the industrial-grade DMR Digital Series without compromise. This IECEx-certified portable delivers exceptionally loud and clear audio, essential for high ambient noise environments.
Designed to meet users’ safety and business-critical needs, the display and non-display models are versatile and feature-rich so that they can be configured for simple or advanced systems.
With a market-leading IP68 submersible rating (2 meters 4 hours), the DTEx can withstand everyday use in extreme and hostile environments, and the ultra-tactile buttons and high torque controls allow the DTEx to be operated even with gloved hands.
To ensure your workforce always receives intelligible communications, we have developed an extensive range of certified and approved audio accessories to complement the DTEx Series, including bone conductive skull mics and ear defender headsets. Please see our accessories section for a complete listing.

Environmental protection to IP68 (2 Meters for 4 hours) - The DTEx Series offers the highest submersibility rating of any manufacturer. This protects against corrosion, withstanding total immersion in water to a depth of 2 metres for 4 hours to protect against the likely hazards encountered in extremely wet environments.
MILSTD 810C/D/E/F/G - Meeting MIL-STD 810C/D/E/F/G and providing commercial grade construction for tough, enduring performance. Entel's DT525 Series radios conform to stringent standards, enabling them to withstand the everyday rigours of shock, vibration and the corrosive effects of dust and moisture, ensuring many years of trouble free use
Robust accessory socket - DT525 radios accessory socket has been specifically designed so that when an accessory is secured to the portable, the connection can withstand any amount of punishment; from dropping to careless misuse. The rugged, multi-pin interface and Micro-USB socket are both submersible and gold-plated to minimise any risk of damage and protect against corrosion. To ensure the integrity of IS protection levels any accessory connected to the handset automatically undergoes a validation process to safeguard against non-compliant accessories being used. All DTEx accessories incorporate a robust locking connector to further safeguard the safety of the user.
High contrast white on black OLED display - DT525 display models benefit from a high contrast white on black OLED display that delivers superior readability in varying light conditions adding to the DT500’s intuitive user interface.
Li-ion battery technology & improved talk time - DT525 radios are supplied with the latest intelligent Lithium-ion battery technology as standard. One key advantage of Lithium-ion battery technology is the way it eliminates ‘memory effect’, meaning that there is no need to fully discharge your battery before recharging. As a result of this, you are assured of a full charge each and every time you take your Entel battery from its charger. DT525 radios also benefit from TDMA Digital mode signalling that increases battery endurance by up-to 40% ensuring longer standby / talk times.
Superior Audio - Using the latest noise reduction technology Entel’s DTEx portables deliver loud & crisp audio no matter what environment you are in. All of the DTEx range of accessories incorporate a robust locking plug and high-grade cable and benefit from Entel’s proprietary “Smart Speech Tailoring” technology. This automatically detects the type of accessory connected and optimizes the audio accordingly to deliver the very best performance.
Field upgradeable - Entel adds and improves features on its DT525 radios by way of free software updates. Using Entel’s innovative End User Programmer app Entel DT525 radios can be easily upgraded without the Dealer having to visit site or courier the radios back and forth saving significant time and expense.
TDMA Two-Slot Direct Mode (aka ‘Two Slot Simplex’) - The DMR Digital standard splits a single 12.5Khz Analogue channel into two separate channels therefore doubling the number of channels available to the radio user. Two-Slot operation is normally only possible when a DMR Repeater is included in the system. However Entel DMR radios overcome this restriction on both Simplex & DMR446 channels so both channels (slots) are always available to the user no matter the channel type.
Mixed Mode Operation - In Mixed Mode operation the radio can receive both DMR Digital & Analogue modes without the user having to change channel. Mixed Mode is beneficial where both Analogue & Digital radios are being used together, e.g. where a customer is migrating from an existing Analogue radio system to a DMR Digital radio system.
Keylock - To avoid accidental operation, your radio's keys & controls can be locked.
Programmable channel monitor button - If you have channel protection enabled on your DT525 portable, all signals other than your own networks will be filtered out. This can be temporarily disabled allowing you to monitor all signals on your channel.
Multiple channel Zones - Entel's radios support 8 channel zones with up-to 99 channels per zone. The Zones can be used to store channels for use at different sites, user groups etc.
Multiple receive groups - This enables you to monitor two or more groups, e.g. a manager needs to monitor the Cleaning and Maintenance groups he manages.
Talker Alias - Most radios require you to have an up to date contact list, just like your phone, to display who is calling / talking. With Entel's Talker Alias feature the radios alias is transmitted as text to the receiving radio(s) so it is always displayed (without having to re-program each radios contact list every time you add radios to the system).
Programmable buttons - To ensure your Entel radio meets your exact need its buttons can be programmed with the exact features you need.
IP Site Roaming - This provides large area coverage by seamlessly roaming between multiple DMR repeaters.
Receive text messaging - Entel's radios are able to receive DMRA compliant text messages from other devices including, but not limited to, alarm panels, PC dispatchers, other radios etc.
Individual, Group Calling & Caller ID - Entel’s DT525 models provide both Individual and Group calling which can be selected via the channel control and, on display models, the radio's large contact list. Display models can also display the callers ID.
Table scan - enables multiple, advanced, channel scan lists which are pre-programmed by your Entel dealer.
All call - This is the ability to call all radios on the channel at once. This is especially useful when making important announcements such as a emergency safety evacuation call etc.
Transmit text messaging - Entel's DMR radios are able to send pre-defined (canned) text messages to other DMR radios supporting the industry standard DMRA protocol.
Audio Accessories & BA Support - A vast range of Entel original audio accessories is available from a simple earpiece to bone conductive options for extremely high noise environments. In addition, 3rd party Breathing Apparatus comms kits are also supported. Entel’s Sure Speech™ intelligent speech tailoring technology optimises audio to match the connected accessory, ensuring the very best clarity, volume and natural sounding audio.
Programmable switch on logo - As a personal touch it is possible to upload your customers own logo to Entel display radios so it is displayed when the radio is booting up.
Security
High level Encryption - In DMR Digital mode DT525 portables provide enhanced privacy as standard therefore providing additional protection compared to Analogue radios. If a very high level of security is required AES256 Encryption can be enabled.
Safety
IECEx Approval - The DT525 series of intrinsically safe certified portables deliver a full 4 watts of transmitter power and are suitable for those users who do not need to comply with the European ATEX standard (For sales outside Europe only).
Personal Attack Button - DT525 portables include a programmable personal attack button. Once activated, the radio will send an alarm call to other radio(s) as well as sounding a local alarm.
Lone-Worker & Man-Down Alarms - DTEx radios support Digital mode Lone-Worker, Man-Down* and Emergency Button features with call interrupt. This, dealer programmable, 3 levels of safety ensures an alarm is raised as soon as is possible (even if the channel is already busy). *optional
