The Digital Difference
But in today’s technologically advanced environment, a new platform is possible, a digital platform that breaks through to new levels of performance and productivity.
In the same way digital technology has transformed other media, it is now revolutionising the way mobile professionals communicate. The time to take advantage of digital two-way radio technology is now.
TDMA – THE Best Choice
There are two primary digital radio technologies: Time-Division Multiple-Access (TDMA) and Frequency-Division Multiple-Access (FDMA). While both digital technologies provide significant benefits over analogue, TDMA is the best choice.
TDMA technology delivers advantages over FDMA- Double your capacity per channel with less than half the infrastructure per channel
TDMA divides your existing channels into two time slots enabling you to double the number of users on your system or utilise data applications. A second call does not require a second repeater, resulting in lower costs for you, as you do not need to purchase, install and maintain additional infrastructure equipment. - Double your capacity without the hassle
TDMA provides two time slots on your existing licensed channels, doubling your capacity. There is no increased risk of interference, and there is no need for new licenses, simply amend your existing licenses to specify digital. Compatibility with all legacy radios working in 12.5 kHz analogue channels is also maintained by TDMA. - Longer battery life
TDMA uses only half of the transmitter’s capacity, resulting in longer battery life. During long work shifts or where productivity enhancing data applications place an increased power demand on the radio, this extended battery life is invaluable. - Advanced features
TDMA enables smart control features like “transmit interrupt” that makes it possible to interrupt lower priority communication so critical instructions can be delivered exactly when they’re needed. And to help you maximise your infrastructure investment, TDMA can transmit voice and data on the same channel.
Standards Based, Future Ready Solution
MOTOTRBO is designed to comply with the globally recognised European Telecommunications Standard Institute (ETSI) Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) Tier 2 standard for professional two-way radio users.
DMR is widely backed by industry leading two-way radio manufacturers, and it is the most widely deployed digital mobile radio technology for professional radio users around the world. This open standard assures long-term stability and develops a community of manufacturers who build interoperable equipment that can compete on features, benefits and price.
The DMR Association represents a collection of companies and organisations that manufacture DMR equipment, supply related products and service or support the standard in other ways. Motorola is an active member of the DMR Association so you can be assured that MOTOTRBO will always be a robust and future-ready digital radio solution.
