Intrinsically Safe
Intrinsically Safe is a designation which affirms that a portable radio, with an attached certified battery, is safe for use in locations where flammable gas, vapors or combustible dust may be present according to Division, Class and Group for which it has been approved.
Telephone Interconnect
Telephone Interconnect is a feature that enables a radio system to be connected to a telephone PBX system, which allows radios to make phone calls using the radio keypad.
Digital Technology
Two-way radios have traditionally used analog technology. Digital technology is the next generation of two-way radio and offers several advantages over analog, including clearer audio, integrated data applications, 40% longer battery life and increase capacity.
Text Messaging/GPS
Using digital technology, text messaging communicates between radios, radio and dispatch and radios to any email capable device. Also using digital technology, GPS enables location tracking of vehicles and personnel in outdoor environments.
Trunking
Trunking is a radio system configuration that uses a control channel to efficiently organize radios and conversations on your radio system. This enables a large number of radio users to operate on the shared system.
Emergency Call
Emergency Call allows radio user, with a push of a button, to send a distress message to all other radio users to indicate an emergency and be given priority to talk.
Quik Call Signalling
Quik-Call signalling is an analog two-tone format used for paging over a two-way voice channel. The decoding of tones allows the radio to receive only messages intended for a specific user, and activates that radio when to start listening to a conversation. The encoding of tones allows the radios to send such messages to specific units.
DTMF Signaling
Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) Signaling enables radio user to use the radio keypad to control another device that is pre-programmed to recognize the tones as commands. This feature is commonly used to open/close gates, place a phone call using telephone interconnect, or turn on/off sprinkling systems.
MDC1200 Signaling
MDC1200 Signaling uses low speed data packet transmissions that grants radio users access to a number of enhanced features such as unit ID, selective inhibit, radio check and selective calling.
Enhanced/Basic Privacy
Enhanced/Basic Privacy is a technology that allows a transmitting radio to send out a scrambled audio signal and a receiving radio to unscramble that signal. This helps to prevent unauthorized users from listening to sensitive communications.
IMPRES
IMPRES is a state-of-the-art, Motorola exclusive technology that enables communications between the radio and accessory, resulting in the prolonged life of your batteries, longer talk time and clearer audio delivery.
