Step 4 TDMA Transmission
Transmission encoding completes the encoding process (like adding the machine-readable
sorting information on the envelope) and finally mails the letter.
TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) organizes a channel into 2 time slots: a given radios
transmitter is active only for short bursts, which provides longer battery life. And by transmitting
only on their alternating time slots, two calls can share the same channel at the same time,
thereby doubling spectrum efficiency.

Digital Voice Features Group Call
Digital Group Call is a way of enabling groups to share a channel without distracting
and disrupting other radio users.
Both transmitting and receiving radios must be on the same logical channel (frequency
and timeslot) and Talkgroup.
Group Call considerations:
Which members of a functional workgroup need to communicate with each other?
How workgroups interact with members of other workgroups?
How users can collectively share the channel resources?
One-to-many call type
MOTOTRBO
MOTOTRBO System Training
Module 2 - 21
Digital Voice Features Private Call
Private Call allows a radio user to directly communicate with another radio user, even if
they are not within the same Talkgroup.
Private Call allows one-to-one communication between transmitting and receiving
radio.
Employee may use a Private Call to privately alert a specific manager about a security
incident, rather than placing a Group Call that would be heard by the whole group.
One-to-one call type
MOTOTRBO
MOTOTRBO System Training
Module 2 - 22
Digital Voice Features All Call
All Call is a one way voice communication between a privileged radio with other radio
users within the same logical channel.
The transmitting radio uses a special All Call group that enables every radio user within
the same logical channel, (regardless of Group) to receive the communication.
This feature is particularly useful when a supervisor needs to communicate to all radios
within the same logical channel (frequency and timeslot) rather than individual groups or
users.

Trunking utilizes a pool of channels for virtually unlimited number of Groups.
Trunking provides efficient utilization of channels by allowing radios to share
logical channels, resulting in:
Less waiting time to access the system
Increased channel capacity for a given Quality of Service
Lower probability of a call being blocked

Introduction
For customers who are migrating from Analog Systems or Digital
Systems, MOTOTRBO supports both analog and digital radio
operations.
MOTOTRBO portable and mobile radios support analog and digital
channel mode of operation at user selection. The repeater supports
analog or digital operations.
In analog mode, MOTOTRBO radios utilize traditional FM technology
that supports 12.5 and 25kHz channel bandwidths.
Radios in analog mode can operate in both repeater or
direct/talkaround mode.
