Motorola Smartnet Radio Equipment
To provide communications over a broad coverage area, you will require a repeater system to extend the "electronic line of sight" of the radios. Our recommendation for this is the Motorola Smartnet system. Smartnet is a trunked dispatch radio telephone system owned and operated in the Canterbury area by T. L. Parker Ltd. This system provides users with the flexibility and privacy of communications required by businesses today.
Smartnet uses a pool of 800MHz FM radio channels shared among a large number of radio users. Computer controlled, the system assigns a radio channel from the pool for your group's use within milliseconds of pressing the talk button. Unlike older radio systems, your radios are silent until someone within your group starts talking. No one outside the group hears your conversations, and you do not have to listen to some other company's communications. All radios in your group (or talk group) are programmed to the frequency the system assigns you for that particular conversation. Just press the talk button and the communications begin.
If all radio channels are momentarily busy, your radio operator hears a busy tone, but the attempted call is automatically placed in a priority queue. When a clear channel is available, the operator is alerted by a short audible signal that a channel has been assigned and they can begin talking.
Within a fleet of radios, managers can designate talk groups. In this way, certain operations may be kept private from the rest (e.g., a Managers only talk group). Besides providing for the privacy of communications, it keeps the other operator's radios quiet when they are not included in the conversation.
Appropriately equipped sets can have private call programmed. This form of specialised calling allows one unit to selectively enter into a one-on-one call with another radio user, permitting the discussion of sensitive issues with the confidence that other units in the system will be unable to overhear the conversation.
This feature acts as a paging system within a fleet of radios. A Call Alert is sent with an audible and/or visual signal to notify an individual radio of an incoming call. Call Alert signals are automatically acknowledged by the called set, so that Dispatchers can verify that the targeted radio is within range, switched on, and has received the signal. This is especially useful in very noisy environments, or if the user is often away from the radio.
While not recommended as a replacement for the telephone for dealing with the Public, properly configured radios can make and/or receive telephone calls from the Public Switched Telephone Network, but only if you allow it.
Since the Smartnet system is computer controlled and software driven, fleet and talk group structures can be changed as Company needs change. An 800MHz Simplex frequency can be added, telephone interconnect can be turned on or off, etc. Normally all that is required is an inexpensive reprogramming of the radios, thus ensuring greater levels of future proofing.
Smartnet coverage is (roughly) Amberley to South of Ashburton, Springfield to the Lyttelton Bays. There may be small "holes" in this coverage, and we know that there are places outside this area where communications are possible.
Please note that there is no connection fee, minimum contract length, or charge for trunking airtime. Cost Per Day
