Going from analog to digital radio? Make sure you get data connectivity included
Moving from an analog radio communication solution to a digital radio setup makes a lot of sense. In addition to improved voice communication, your organization will also enjoy digital benefits such as geographical location, user ID, and a ‘man down’ distress signal. But if you only move on to a digital trunked radio system, that’s it.
Law Enforcement
Will a digital trunked radio system give your law enforcement organization access to CJIS – or will it just make your costs explode?
Fire
Are you looking to extend coverage in your operational area? Unless you want your firefighters cut off without data connectivity, investing heavily in a digital trunked radio system is not the answer!
Ambulance
Are you looking to extend coverage in your operational area that will let your ambulances exchange vital patient data with hospitals? Investing heavily in a digital trunked radio system is not the answer!
Water Utilities
Digital trunked radio can deliver better coverage in your operational area than analog radio. But without massive investments in new infrastructure, achieving 100% coverage is still hard to guarantee.
Electricity
Are you sure your new digital trunked radio system has 100% coverage in your operational area? Or is one of your maintenance workers about to have to go to work on a downed power line without knowing whether it’s live or not?
Oil & Gas
Digital trunked radio can deliver better coverage in your operational area than analog radio. But without massive investments in new infrastructure, achieving 100% coverage is still hard to guarantee.
