When multiple QUANTAR and GTR base stations are voted on the same ASTRO-TAC comparator, the ASTRO 25 Analog Modem II will be required for each leased link to the comparator. Mixing the traditional QUANTAR / ASTRO-TAC interfaces with the ASTRO 25 Analog Modem II on the same voted ASTRO- TAC channel may cause problems with audio quality.
Traditional Radio networks rely on low speed analog leased lines for site to site connectivity. The Raymar ASTRO 25 IP Modem II offers network solutions to bridge older network requirements with current network infrastructure. Our unique product solutions offer a wide range of solutions to meet any network requirements.
