6.25 kHz spectrum efficient? New channels fit legacy devices? No risk of new interference issues?
co-existence between analogue and digital is simple Ease of migration Ease of long co-existence between analogue and digital
channel DMR:
Advanced control features through reverse channel signalling System flexibility through simultaneous voice and data calls, two way calls, double data rates enabled by two slot TDMA
Power efficiency of DMR compared to 6.25 kHz FDMA Two slot TDMA structure means transmitter is used 50% less than with FDMA This means DMR radios are more power efficient than FDMA and give greater battery life/unit of battery capacity Significant with data applications
