“Motorola has developed its MOTOTRBO digital two-way radio system to provide voice and data capabilityon one device while still focusing on quality, reliability and mobility.”“What makes MOTOTRBO different is that it minimises acquisition and operating costs. In addition to alower total cost of ownership, MOTOTRBO can operate in both analogue and digital modes, thus making iteasy to integrate with legacy communication infrastructure. Customers can improve basic functionality, addnew features and increase capacity at their own pace, while leveraging existing system investments.”Increased capacity and functionalityBy leveraging Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) technology, MOTOTRBO doubles the effectivecapacity of a customer’s repeater channels within the 12.5KHz channel structure already utilisedthroughout the world. This straightforward re-use of spectrum accommodates more users on the systemwithin existing licensing requirements. This can increase the customer’s capacity for wireless voice anddata communications.In addition, by utilising TDMA technology, the MOTOTRBO platform lets a single repeater deliver thebenefits of two analogue repeaters, allowing businesses to realise up to a 50 per cent reduction in repeatercosts when compared with equivalent analogue systems.One of the biggest challenges with mobile devices has been battery life. By cutting the call transmit time inhalf, using two-slot TDMA, MOTOTRBO provides a longer talk time with up to 40 per cent longer battery lifethan comparable analogue radios. Battery consumption per call is dramatically reduced, enabling muchlonger usage time in the field between recharges.ApplicationsMotorola’s Application Programming Interface (API) enables the development of customised applicationsby third-party developers, creating additional versatility for customers. MOTOTRBO was designed to be asoftware-upgradeable platform for customers to build on their investment, adding new features as theybecome available.Global standards for interoperabilityMOTOTRBO was designed to meet the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) DigitalMobile Radio (DMR) tier two standard, a globally recognised, approved standard for the professional twowayradio market that provides an open platform enabling multi-vendor interoperability.More details of MOTOTRBO can be viewed at www.motorola.com/mototrboMotorola Australia Pty.
