Additional Performance Enhancement

Getting Started
The following performance enhancements are some of the latest creations designed to enhance the security, quality and efficiency of the radios.

ASTRO 25 Enhanced Data

ASTRO 25 Enhanced Data is optimized to handle different message sizes and variable update rates from different applications of the radio. Add Enhanced Data to the Integrated Data system with a software installation to improve data channel efficiency and enable denser network traffic.

Dynamic System Resilience (DSR)

DSR ensures the radio system is seamlessly switched to a backup master site dynamically in case of system failure. DSR also provides additional indication e.g. failure detection, fault recovery, and redundancy within the system to address to the user in need. Mechanisms related to the Integrated Voice and Data (IV&D) or data centric are all supported by DSR.
18

CrossTalk Prevention

This feature prevents crosstalk scenarios from happening, especially when a wideband antenna is used. This feature allows the adjustment of the internal SSI clock rate of the radio. This subsequently reduces the possibility of radio frequency interfering spurs and prevents the issues of crosstalk.

Encrypted Integrated Data (EID)

EID provides security encryption and authentication of IV&D data bearer service communication between the radio and the Customer Enterprise Network.

SecureNet

SecureNet allows user to perform secured communications on an Analog or Motorola Data Communication (MDC) channel. The MDC Over-the­Air Rekeying (OTAR) feature will allow users to perform OTAR activities on an MDC channel.

Conventional Talkgroup and Radio Scan Enhancements

A few enhancements have been made to the Conventional Talkgroup at the system. These enhancements improve the Scan feature operation significantly when multiple agencies are using a
English
Getting Started
single conventional radio frequency channel. These enhancements allow users to use Selective Squelch to operate on only the subset of talkgroups that are relevant to the users rather than all talkgroups on the channel. These Scan improvements have been made to eliminate the audio holes that were present and to turn on the busy LED when activity is present on the channel. Mixed Vote Scan and Standard Conventional Scan configurations are supported. Priority Operation is also supported.
Up to 30 different talkgroups can be supported using conventional channels. A maximum of four talkgroups can be supported when Vote Scan channels are being used.
Smart PTT is supported with this enhancement as Smart PTT prevents users from transmitting while other users are on the channel.
Note
User Selectable Talkgroups are not compatible with this Conventional Talkgroup Enhancement.

What Your Dealer/System Administrator Can Tell You

Check with your dealer or system administrator for the correct radio settings, if the radio is to be operated in extreme temperatures (less than -30 °C or more than +60 °C).
You can consult your dealer or system administrator about the following:
Is your radio programmed with any preset conventional channels?
Which buttons have been programmed to access other features?
What optional accessories may suit your needs?
Note
Specifications may vary for different radio models. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.
