ANALOG vs DIGITAL
6 Reasons to Choose ANALOG Two-Way Radios
- AFFORDABLE: Because the technology is not software-enhanced, it is simpler and affordable.
- BASIC ENCRYPTION: Basic encryption means users still have secure channels.
- EASE OF USE: It is simple to use and since little training is needed, users can get up and running quickly.
- NATURAL VOICE: It is a popular choice with some users as it offers natural voice communications.
- SIMPLE, BUT RELIABLE: It can be a reliable option for organizations with relatively simple communication needs and a limited geographic footprint.
- TIME TESTED: Analog radio technology has been used across many industries.
6 Reasons to Choose DIGITAL Two-Way Radios
- ADVANCED ENCRYPTION: Advanced encryption means more options for secure communications.
- VOICE QUALITY: Digital radios block background noise and deliver improved voice quality, expanded coverage, and no degradation in voice quality over distances.
- DIGITAL FEATURES: These include much higher GPS throughput, IP data, OTAP data, large databases of group and unit IDs that allow for more efficient system usage.
- ERROR-CORRECT FEATURE: Voice signals are rebuilt if a signal gets corrupted because of interference.
- MULTIPLE COMMUNICATIONS ON ONE CHANNEL FOR GREATER EFFICIENCY: Several users can communicate over a single channel.
- IMPROVED COVERAGE AND IN-BUILDING PENETRATION: Enhanced radio signals ensure reliable communication across wider areas and better penetration through structures.
