Additional Performance Enhancement
The following are some of the latest creations designed to
enhance the security, quality and efficiency of APX radios.
ASTRO 25 Enhanced Data
ASTRO 25 Enhanced Data is optimized to handle different
message sizes and update rates from different applications.
Install 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 seamlessly switches the radio system to a backup master
site during system failures. DSR also provides additional

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.
CrossTalk Prevention

especially when a wideband antenna is used. This feature
allows the adjustment of the Trident Transmitting SSI clock rate
in the radio to be different from the Receiving Frequency. This
