Tom's Tech Talk (#10): Digital Mobile Radio System Implementation

      In today’s Digital Mobile Radio systems, networking is playing a key role in implementation of these radio systems. Years past connectivity was through an in house set of wires or over the local telephone companies telephone line. With the evolution of radio, not only has product changed, but the way we need to get the information between sites has changed.

      In the early years, radio equipment was controlled by Direct Current (DC) traveling down the telephone lines between dispatch and the radio at a tower. The voice and DC current would travel the line to the equipment. The equipment in turn would interpret the DC current as one of the following:

What does TEAM mean for your business?

     After returning from the IWCE tradeshow in Las Vegas (earlier this year), it appears that radio platforms are starting to have the ability to merge together. At a seminar held by Motorola, they presented the Motorola TEAM product. This product, although specific in application, allows for disparate systems to link together. The intent is to have one number, one voicemail. The concept links an IP based telephone system in your office with your handheld smartphone and your radio system all together.
    

Why Go Digital? Analog vs. Digital Two-Way Radios

     The truth is that while analog radios may get the job done, they've pretty much reached their limit in terms of innovation and advancement. In fact, many organizations are already finding that they have more needs than the capabilities of analog two-way radios can deliver, and they are searching for better options to improve efficiency and performance.

      Digital radios offer users a new and exciting platform for their communications needs. Whether organizations are looking for better voice quality or integrated wireless data applications, digital radios provide the solution. Here is a list of just some of the benefits of digital radio technology:
