What is the DMR?

Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) is an international digital radio standard developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), and this standard:

  1. Improved voice quality.(The voice tranmitted under Digital mode will be better than analog mode).
  2. Improved functionality.( Like the GPS function)
  3. Improved security.(Like the Encryption)
  4. Improved channel efficiency (2 slot TDMA)

TDMA technology

TDMA stands for Time Division Multiple Access. TDMA provides two logical channels and each 12.5-kilohertz channel space (see diagram below). This provides a useful doubling of capacity within the same analog channel space.
