Better Peak-Time Performance; Software-Configured Device - OpenSky P800 User Manual

CHAPTER 1—Advanced Radio Operations
Instead of depending on choices from a central
switching station, your radio itself constantly monitors
signal strength and makes its own decision to roam to
another base site for a more robust connection.

Better Peak-Time Performance

OpenSky's digital trunking architecture provides

Conversation capacity is effectively doubled by the

conversations over the same channel that was
previously dedicated to just one.

converts voice waves into digital information before it
transmits to the network, providing noise-free audio
transmission and reception.
