Additional Performance Enhancement

Encrypted Integrated Data (EID)

The following are some of the latest creations designed to enhance the security, quality and efficiency of your radios.

Dynamic System Resilience (DSR)

DSR ensures your 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 you who is in need. Mechanisms related to the Integrated Voice and Data (IV & D) or data centric are all supported by DSR.

CrossTalk Prevention

This feature prevents crosstalk scenario from happening, especially when a wideband antenna is used. This feature allows the adjustment of the Trident Transmitting SSI clock rate in your radio to be varied from the Receiving Frequency.
