Sales Overview

Our newest addition to the Telex Radio Dispatch Product family is the MTRBi
interface. This interface allows An IP C-Soft Software based Console to
control the Motorola MOTOTRBO™ Professional Digital Two-Way Radio
System.. Adding the Telex IP Dispatch Console allows one to have a
complete MOTOTRBO™ solution.
The MTRBi is easy to use, scalable, reliable and is very cost effective.
Public Safety, Government, Commercial, Health Care, Utilities and
Transportation can now get the features of Motorola’s Mototrbo with full
console capability.
Telex’s MTRBi supports the following MOTOTRBO™ features.

Why MTRBi

 FCC (In US only) requires manufacturers to offer only devices that operate
within 12.5kHz VHF and UHF channels by 2011.
 By the year 2013, all VHF and UHF users are required to operate in

12.5kHz channels.
 While there is no current mandate requiring a move to 6.25kHz, such
discussions are on-going at the FCC & other agencies. It’s only a matter of time
before the ability to carry two voice paths in a single 12.5kHz channel, also
known as 6.25kHz equivalent efficiency, becomes a requirement in VHF & and
UHF bands.
 Presently, FCC rules are in place to mandate manufacturers to build radios
capable of the 6.25kHz efficiency for VHF and UHF bands, but the enforcement
of these rules are put on hold.
 In the meantime, MOTOTRBO™ offers a way to divide a 12.5kHz channel into
two independent time slots, thus achieving 6.25kHz-equivalent efficiency today.

MTRBi

 Telex Radio Dispatch MTRBi interface supports:
 Conventional Direct Mode

 and Capacity Plus modes

 Does not support IP Site Connect Mode at this time.

 The MOTOTRBO™ system can be configured to operate in analog or digital.
 When operating in analog mode, MOTOTRBO™ supports one voice path
(transmit and receive) on one physical channel, and can be configured to
operate in 25kHz channel bandwidth systems and/or 12.5kHz channel
bandwidth systems.
 When operating in digital mode, MOTOTRBO™ uses one physical channel
configured for a 12.5kHz channel bandwidth. On that one direct 12.5kHz
physical channel bandwidth, a MOTOTRBO™ digital system can support only
one voice (or data) path at a time if communication is direct without a repeater.
 Digital through a repeater the system uses TDMA and can support two voice or
data channels or one of each.



MTRBi
Basic System Topologies Capacity Plus

 Capacity Plus mode, MOTOTRBO™ trunks the logical channels of multiple
repeaters (operating in digital repeater mode) at the same location. This
allows the radios to share the logical channels, resulting in less waiting time
to access the system and increased channel capacity for quality of service.
 The probability of all channels being busy at the same instant is low,
therefore the probability of a call being blocked is lower than when only one
channel can be accessed.
 Capacity Plus is a single site trunking configuration of the MOTOTRBO™
system.
 In a Capacity Plus system, all the “idle” radios (i.e. radios neither receiving
nor transmitting) are on an idle channel called the Rest channel. Therefore,
a new call always starts on the Rest channel. At the start of a call, the Rest
channel repeater selects one of the idle channels as the new Rest channel,
informs the radios on the current Rest channel about the new Rest channel
is, converts the current Rest channel to a traffic channel, and starts
repeating the bursts sent by the radio.

MTRBi Window

The MOTOTRBO™ Dispatching window is used by the console operator in C-Soft Runtime to manage
a
MOTOTRBO™ line’s call history, channel changes, send text messages and alerts, and to read GPS
coordinates and remote radio positions. Volume adjustments, radio checks, and radio enable/disable
are also conducted from this window.
