When Should You Use Repeaters?
Repeaters should be used when radio-to-radio coverage is not adequate. They are used to provide extended range coverage or to boost a radio signal(s) into deadspots.
Why Motorola Repeaters?
Motorola repeaters, or MOTOTRBO repeaters as they are known are part of the MOTOTRBO ecosystem. MOTOTRBO is the name Motorola have given to their digital two way radio equipment.
The Motorola repeaters work seamlessly with their range of Motorola two way radios and can work in both analogue and digital modes. They can also connect to Motorola systems solutions such as IP Site Connect, Capacity Plus, Capacity Max and Connect Plus.
Licenced handheld two way radios operate on a maximum power of 5 watts. Motorola repeater base stations can operate from up to 100 watts. When combining a repeater base station with a suitable antenna, situated in a strategically placed location for optimum effectiveness, you can soon see how effective then can be.
Repeaters and IP Networks
Since Motorola launched their digital range of repeater bases, it is now possible to connect repeater bases over an IP network, locally, nationaly and globally. This provides an almost unlimited possibility to provide on-site coverage but more importantly connect sites no matter where they are in the world. The only requirement is an IP connection available where the repeater base is going to be installed.
