Radios that operate in a SmartZone system will enjoy
the benefits that SmartZone offers over AMSS operation.
SmartZone is a wide-area coverage system that will allow
up to 50 sites to be operational in the system. SmartZone
brings several enhancements over AMSS operation such
as:
• Dynamic Site Assignment -
controller to dynamically assign channels at sites
where required, as opposed to bringing up channels at
all sites as AMSS systems do.
• Variable Density -
numbers of channel resources to accommodate low-
density areas as well as high density areas.
• Automatic Site Registration/Deregistration -
Smartzone radios automatically send in their unit IDs
and current mode selections upon power up, power
down, site switches, talkgroup changes, and when
they exit emergency operation. This allows the zone
controller to know where the radio is at all times, and
also what talkgroup the radio has selected.
• Enhanced FailSoft Operation -
experiences a complete failure, it will revert to failsoft
operation like today's SMARTNET system. A
SmartZone radio, however, can be programmed in the
list of control modes. The radio will periodically scan
the control mode to check for the presence of a valid
control mode (in case the radio roamed into a site
which is trunking.
• Locking and Unlocking a Site -
can force the radio to stay locked onto a site. Yet you
can still force the radio to scan to another site while
the site is locked. The radio will automatically become
site locked to the next site it finds.
• Site Switching in SmartZone-
(unlocked state) is out of range, it will automatically
scan for a new site from a list of 32 channels.
