Truck
Maximize your fleet's performance!

Do you have a large number of employees who are organized into multiple work groups and need to share business-critical voice and data communications within a single building, on a campus, or at a manufacturing facility? Is your business growing to where you now need a two-way radio communication solution with expanded voice and data capacity? Are you currently using the soon to be gone Nextel system?

Check out our local wide-area radio system. Radio dispatch is still the most reliable, safe and cost effective way to control your fleet.

What End-Users will Experience with Digital Audio

Consistent performance throughout coverage area with no gradual fade at the fringes: While analog signals slowly degrade as the receiver moves away from thetransmitter, digital signals perform more consistently throughout the coverage area. However, digital signals, more abruptly, shift from “good” to “no signal”, when crossingthe fringe of the coverage area. This means, users cannot rely on degrading audio quality to warn them that they are approaching the fringe of coverage. On the other hand, just prior to the fringe of the coverage area, digital audio is still crisp and clean, whereas analog audio has excessive noise and static.

Digital Sounds Different: The vocoding process is designed to deliver optimum audio quality with a very small number of bits. Some listeners find the resulting tonal qualities of digital speech somewhat different from what they have experienced with analog speech. Because the vocoding process is highly specialized for reproducing human speech, other sounds like music and tones are not reproduced accurately. Additionally, digital audio can introduce end-to-end audio delays. When overwhelming errors or dropouts are encountered, digital radios can generate some unique-sounding audio “artifacts”.

Background Noise Reduction: The advanced vocoding capabilities in MOTOTRBO also include background noise reduction. Regardless of what is happening in the environment of the transmitting radio, only voice is reconstructed at the receiving radio - background noise, like machine noise, wind noise, and traffic noise, is not reconstructed, and thus, not heard. This is a key advantage of the MOTOTRBO digital voice solution over typical analog solutions, because noisy environments like factories, stores, work sites, and windy locations do NOT significantly degrade communication intelligibility.
