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 vs. FDMA:Compare the Benefits

NoYesOpen standard for more choices?

Capability TDMA FDMAAchieve spectrum efficiency? Yes NoUse existing licenses? Yes NoBattery life improvement? Yes NoChannels to repeater ratio 2:1 1:1Combining equipment required? No YesSimultaneous voice and data per channel?

Yes No

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
