Due to the FCC Narrowbanding mandate in the United States, product specifications and brochures for Motorola Solutions two-way radio products may indicate 25 kHz/12.5 kHz analog/digital operation which may not be the standard mode of operation at the time of shipment after Jan. 1st 2013.
MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS
ASTRO® 25 Trunking
GTR 8000 Expandable Site Subsystem (ESS), Motorola's premier turnkey RF site design, provides the optimal P25 trunking solution for easy installation and high availability. All base radios, networking equipment, timing and frequency distribution, RF combining and multi-coupler equipment are factory integrated into a single rack or cabinet.
ASTRO® 25 Data
Motorola's Integrated Voice and Data (IV&D) in ASTRO® 25 trunking and conventional systems as well as High Performance Data (HPD) are supported by the GTR 8000. Voice and data transmissions switch dynamically on the same base radio for ease of use.
ASTRO® 25 & Analog Conventional
Motorola's Conventional channel solutions range from small single repeater sites to wide-area coverage voting and simulcast systems. The GTR 8000 Base Radio's high performing analog capabilities enable narrow-banding migrations that maximize audio performance.
3600 Trunking
The GTR 8000 base radio supports 3600 trunking operation, enabling new future-ready base radios to be added to existing SmartZone systems with SmartX. The GTR 8000 is software upgradeable to P25 trunking when the time is right to migrate to P25. 3600 trunking operation is available on both simulcast and IntelliRepeater systems, in either analog or digital mode.
ROBUST PLATFORM
Performance

Service and replace hardware without system down-time
• Online Software Download
Download software while online and fully operational
• Front Serviceable
Perform all servicing from the front of the station
Life expectancy
• Future Ready
No new hardware required to convert for narrow-banding, from conventional to trunking, from 3600 trunking to P25 trunking, from FDMA to TDMA, or from single to multi-site configurations
• Software Defined Radio
Upgrade to new functionality through software updates and configuration changes
Availability
• Dual Connections
All channels remain online and on air in the event of a network switch or timing/frequency reference failure
• Battery Revert and Charging
Eliminates need for an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in many installations
Space efficiency
