Connectivity with Legacy Equipment

The all-digital, end-to-end IP OpenSky Intranet even
provides support for legacy equipment and protocols
both digital and analog.
Along with supplying voice and data to your P800
portable radio, the network will also support existing
(or "legacy") radio equipment you may still need to use
during a hardware rollover.
This also means you'll be able to make radio contact
with cooperating agencies on the same network,
whether or not they have made the conversion to
OpenSky equipment.

Improved Coverage and Signal Strength

Part of OpenSky's scalability is its ability to
accommodate as many base stations as your coverage
area requires to provide robust voice and data
transmissions wherever your route may extend within
the network.
Cell Sites
OpenSky cell sites automatically extend coverage into
otherwise hard-to-reach areas and connect back into the
network.
Background Roaming and Switching
Automated switching takes place in the background
with OpenSky, so you'll no longer be required to scan
for an open channel, or wait for an available channel,
when you move through your coverage area.
Welcome to the OpenSky Network—CHAPTER 1
There's no need to monitor multiple frequencies on
several pieces of equipment to maintain contact.
User talk groups connect you at all times with
precisely the users you need to reach, no matter
who they work for, or where they're located within
the network.
