PDT Standard

PDT (short for ''Professional Digital Trunking'' or ''Police Digital Trunking'') is an open industry standard for trunked radio system in China servicing police wireless communications and professional mobile radio. The standard is being maintained by the ''Professional Digital Trunking System Industry Association'', an association of major vendors of wireless communications equipment in China. The association was formed with the help from Information and Communications Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. The standard was used to facilitate the digital transformation of the Ministry's existing MPT analogue trunking system. Government policy supporting this domestic standard had led to the abolishment of previous GA/T industry standards based on the European TETRA standard.

The initial major contributor of the standard were Hytera Communications and Vigor Communications(WANGE). Vigor was also the first enterprise to produce PDT two-way radio products.
