Trunk Radio Systems

Trunked radio systems are used whenever a large number of mobile radios need to share radio frequencies. They are used by local government and industry to operate private systems. They are also operated by public service providers who install system infrastructure and sell airtime on the system.

In a trunked radio network, a large number of workgroups can share fewer channels because the trunking equipment dynamically allocates an available channel when users key their radio.

Large organizations that establish their own dedicated radio network typically select a trunked radio scheme because of advanced features, private calls, wide-area dispatch, economical infrastructure, and more efficient use of radio spectrum.

Trunked radio system operators cover a spectrum of companies from operations that serve a local region to international companies competing with cellular service.

Silicon's trunked radio systems provide uniquely flexible solutions to meet the demand for cost-effective trunked radio communications supporting most commonly used trunking formats.

Silicon's trunking equipment is capable of handling common domestic and international trunking applications, and is designed for single site applications or for multi-site applications over a wide area.

Trunked Mobile Radio offers greater airtime efficiency in multichannel systems. Compared with a number of conventional single channel systems, a trunked system is more efficient, simpler to use, and less likely to be busy.
