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.
