Advantages Of Trunking

Trunking allows many users to share a fixed number of communi-
cation channels without interfering with one another. Telephone
companies for years have used trunking to make the most efficient
use of their equipment, and similar trunking methods have been
adapted to two-way radio communication.
A trunked radio system allows a large number of users to share a
relatively small number of frequencies. When an operator estab-
lishes communication with someone else in the system, the sys-
tem automatically assigns a communication path - a repeater and
its frequency. Once the conversation has ended, the repeater is
freed for other users. Trunking pools all the repeater air time, and
this maximizes the amount of air time available to any one mobile
unit and minimizes channel congestion.
Some of the key benefits of trunked two-way radio systems are:
No channel monitoring required prior to transmission
Fast system access
Automatic channel selection
Privacy among members of the same group
