TDMA Digital Advantages
Doubling of capacity in current spectrum
● High data rate for enhanced call features
● 40% increased radio battery life
●
• Effective transmit time cut in half with two-slot TDMA
• Overall battery consumption per call dramatically reduced
50% lower repeater costs vs other digital & analog
● Reduced combining equipment
● Global ETSI standard called DMR
●
• Developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute
(ETSI) as a replacement for analog radio technology
• Globally available, open standard for greater flexibility

TDMA Digital:
Good For Narrowbanding
●
Meets FCC requirement for user’s license to be on
12.5 kHz channels by Jan 1, 2013
●
Enables users to keep valuable 12.5 kHz channels and
double capacity
●
Meets FCC recommendation that users migrate
directly to 6.25 kHz efficient equipment
●
Meets requirements for manufacturers to have 6.25
kHz efficiency or equivalent built into radios
 12.5 kHz TDMA is an equivalent
