Digital trunked radio can’t carry data

Or will it just make your costs explode?

To put it bluntly, replacing an analog radio setup with a digital trunked radio system is simply replacing one form of obsolescence with another – at a very high cost. While a digital trunked radio system will provide improved voice communication, geographical location, user ID, and a ‘man down’ distress signal – it will not be able to carry data. This means that officers won’t be able to look up the numberplate of a vehicle they’ve pulled over before approaching it – potentially sending them into dangerous situations.
