Trunked Systems

In a trunked network, radios share multiple channels, with queuing and channel assignment being handled dynamically by the system infrastructure. When the radio user places a call, the trunked radio system automatically allocates an available free channel. The result is increased quality of service and reduced infrastructure and operating costs.

In contrast, in a conventional (non-trunked) radio system a group of radios share one fixed channel or frequency. If that channel is in use by one user in the workgroup, service is not available to others. Often the radio channel is idle, which is a poor utilization of a valuable resource.

Because the trunked radio system automatically and dynamically allocates a small number of radio channels among a large number of radio users, it offers greater airtime efficiency in multi-channel systems.

As part of the service offered by Pennine Telecom, we will liaise with OFCOM on all matters relating to licencing. Licencing typically takes two to three weeks to complete.
