Motorola has announced the wide availability of its MOTOTRBO professional digital two-way radio system throughout North America.
MOTOTRBO is a digital communications technology platform that combines exceptional two-way radios with digital technology to deliver increased capacity and spectral efficiency. It also supports enhanced voice communications and data applications, such as text messaging and global positioning system (GPS)-based location services. Additionally, MOTOTRBO is a comprehensive dual mode - analog and digital - system including portable and mobile radios, a repeater, accessories and data applications, making it possible for professional businesses to easily and affordably migrate to a digital platform at their own pace.
Professional organizations such as transportation companies, construction sites, manufacturing facilities, private security organizations, campuses and local municipalities and public service entities will benefit from MOTOTRBO's operational efficiency and ability to deliver increased mobility while maintaining constant connectivity.
By leveraging Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) technology, MOTOTRBO doubles the effective capacity of a customer's repeater channels within the 12.5KHz channel structure already utilized throughout the world. This straightforward re-use of spectrum accommodates more users on the system and with no changes to licensing requirements, which can increase the customer's capacity for wireless voice and data communications.
In addition, by utilizing TDMA technology, the MOTOTRBO platform enables a single repeater to deliver the benefits of two analog repeaters, allowing businesses to realize up to a 50 percent reduction in repeater costs when compared with equivalent analog systems. MOTOTRBO also provides a longer talk time with up to 40 percent longer battery life than comparable analog radios.
