Chapter 17
Mission Critical Geofence (ASTRO 25
Trunking)
This feature allows the radio to use the Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver to determine
its location at frequent intervals and evaluate if the radio is within the Geofence area in real time.
Geofence is a virtual perimeter based on the GPS to define a geographical area on earth.
When the radio enters the predefined Geofence area, your radio receives the Dynamic Regroup
command from the system and immediately connects to a Dynamic Regroup talkgroup. The radio
display shows the new selected Dynamic Regrouped talkgroup with green intelligent light for your
attention. Voice Announcement is also available to support this feature.
Any new text messages received at Geofence is displayed immediately on the radio display.
NOTE:
If the radio is set up in Digital Vehicular Repeater System (DVRS), only mobile radio is
supported for this feature.
The user navigation for this feature is not available for this model.
17.1
Entry to the Geofence Area
The Voice Announcement and Text Messaging Service (TMS) display in this feature are optional. They
must be configured to enable you to hear and see these indicators.
When the radio enters a Geofence area, the radio immediately sends a message ACK back to the
system.
The radio searches the current zone for the channel with same talkgroup assigned as the Dynamic
Talkgroup and also with same system ID of current trunk system. Once matched, the radio display
shows the first matched and connected channel alias.
If there is no channel with matching Talkgroup ID and trunk system ID, the radio display shows the
channel alias of <DYNAMIC talkgroup>.
Once the radio is connected, you hear a dynamic regroup tone, the radio display shows <DYNAMIC
channel> with the temporary green color-intelligent backlight and you hear a Voice Announcement.
NOTE:
When the radio loses the Global Positioning System (GPS) signal, the GPS icon blinks and the
radio sounds two high-pitched tones repetitively to indicate that the GPS has failed to operate.
The radio display shows the red intelligent light.
If the first matched channel is not configured with Voice Announcement, no Voice
Announcement is played.
