The ASTRO
®
XTL™ 5000 Digital Mobile Radio is among the most
sophisticated two-way radios available. It can operate in the following
frequency ranges:
These channels provide maximum communications capability under
varying operating conditions.
One of the newest in a long line of quality Motorola products, the
ASTRO XTL 5000 Digital Mobile Radio provides improved voice
quality across more of your coverage area. The digital process called
embedded signaling intermixes system signaling information with
digital voice, resulting in improved system reliability and the capability
of supporting a multitude of advanced features. Such features add up
to better, more cost-effective two-way radio communications.
ASTRO digital technology is also helping to provide the solution to
improved spectral efficiency requiring only half as much bandwidth
per channel (12.5kHz) compared to analog technology (25/30kHz).
The net benefit to you is fewer users per channel or more users per
system.
The ASTRO XTL 5000 Digital Mobile radio can include an optional
RS-232 data port to interface with external devices, such as certain
fax machines and laptop computers. ASTRO XTL 5000 Digital Mobile
voice radios and data terminals can access the same channel without
interfering with each other.
