Improve Service To Your Customer Base – Rural Electric Cooperatives Use MOTOTRBO Digital Two-way Radios

Utility poles topple. Power lines plummet. Outages occur across the country. Your work crews have plenty of territory to cover to respond quickly to repair and restore power. Instant dispatch and unbroken communication are so essential to managing your field force, you need a system that is 24/7/365 reliable wherever they go. A system so efficient and easy to use, it can increase safety, improve customer service and reduce operating costs, too.

“MOTOTRBO has given us nearly 100% coverage and the audio quality on the fringe is crystal clear, even when the background is noisy.” David Brokamp, Vice President of Engineering Sumter EMC, Americus GA

The Solution

Ensuring clear and continuous communication across your coverage area is vital to running your cooperative efficiently. Your employees work in loud and harsh outdoor environments where they can’t afford to miss a call or misunderstand a message. And they often endure long shifts where they depend on their radio to retain power and perform reliably. Analog radio systems are prone to drop-offs in coverage as they lose signal strength, as well as interruptions and interference from static and noise.

The Solution

Versatile and powerful, MOTOTRBO is the ideal solution. The MOTOTRBO professional digital communication systemcombines the best of two-way radio functionality with the latest digital technology. It integrates voice and data seamlessly, offers enhanced features that are easy to use and delivers impressive capacity and coverage to meet your growing communication needs. With exceptional voice quality and long battery life, MOTOTRBO keeps your mobile workers connected when communication is a must.

Communication Managers Can Mobilize And Manage Workers. More Effectively

Communicate clearly with exceptional audio.
Using the latest digital technology, MOTOTRBO provides clearer and crisper voice communications over a wider area without interference or distracting static. MOTOTRBO digital radios deliver powerful voice, as well as advanced data features. The result is clear communications with your workers no matter where they are in the field.

Prioritize communication immediately. Emergencies do happen and you need to communicate with your workers when they do. MOTOTRBO’s transmit interrupt suite – with voice interrupt, emergency voice interrupt and data over voice interrupt – enables you to prioritize critical communication the moment you need it.

Share information quickly, easily and seamlessly.
Whether you need to send directions to the next work site or receive notification a job is complete, MOTOTRBO’s text messaging feature enables communication between radios and dispatch systems, between radios and email-addressable devices, and to remote PC clients attached to radios.

Keep connected with your workers in the field.
With the MIP 5000 radio console, you can have centralized dispatch capability for visibility and access to your mobile work teams no matter where their job takes them. MOTOTRBO’s integrated GPS gives you easy, immediate access to track your employees and your assets.

Extend coverage and expand capacity. Meet your communication needs today and in the future with a variety of MOTOTRBO solutions:

• IP Site Connect uses an IP network to extend the voice and data capabilities of MOTOTRBO. You can create a continuous network that covers your employees at 15 geographically-dispersed sites. Or you link up to 15 sites to create wide area coverage at a single site.
• Capacity Plus is the single site digital trunking solution that maximizes the capacity of your MOTOTRBO™ system. Use it to enable a high volume of voice and data communication for over a thousand users at a single site, without adding new frequencies.
• Connect Plus is the scalable, multi-site digital trunking solution that helps keep your mobile workforce connected. With this high capacity MOTOTRBO system, calls can be queued during busy times until an open channel is available, important users can be assigned priority status when the system is in high demand, and a wireline console can be used for centralized dispatch. Using the dispatch console, dynamic site roaming lets your people move from site to site without having to manually change channels.

Migrate at your own pace. With MOTOTRBO,
you can keep operations running smoothly during a change in communication systems. Since MOTOTRBO radios operate in analog and digital mode, you can use them on your existing analog system and begin migrating over to digital – one talk group or department at a time – while maintaining communication across your entire workforce.

Get exceptional value and cut costs.
By utilizing TDMA digital technology, MOTOTRBO enables two virtual channels within a single 12.5 kHz channel – double the capacity of analog. Since you don’t need a second repeater, you save on equipment costs, too.

By integrating voice and data in one device, MOTOTRBO saves you the expense of additional equipment for text messaging and GPS location tracking. And to help control the cost of replacing batteries prematurely, our leading-edge IMPRES technology automatically maintains your battery fleet to lengthen battery life.

Connect to Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.
Combine MOTOTRBO with Motorola’s SCADA product, ACE3600 that helps manage peak demand and lower operating and maintenance costs. The ACE3600 Remote Terminal Unit is scalable, modular and can be used for simple pole top monitoring or to manage hundreds of I/Os at a small substation or interconnection point. It brings DNP3.0, MODBUS, IEC60870-5-101 protocol support through serial or IP ports. Certified with MOTOTRBO, ACE3600 brings unmatched data reliability and security in a single commercial, future-proof package.
