$TLLE Will I need to change the frequency band used to be compliant?
No. Narrowbanding does not require moving to another frequency band. Licensees stay on the same channel center(s), but reduce the bandwidth of the channel(s) currently used, from 25 kHz to 12.5 kHz.
$TLLE Just needs some volume and this is a goner! lol!
$TLLE <> rsi >> creeping ^^Ûpppppppppppp $
$TLLC What does it mean to use technology that achieves equivalent efficiency?
For voice applications, the FCC efficiency standard can be met if equipment either operates on a 12.5 kHz channel or transmits at least one voice channel per 12.5 kHz of bandwidth. This means equipment operating on a 25 kHz channel bandwidth is compliant if the equipment supports two ore more voice channels.
$TLLE Over our 46 years in business, we've supplied radio, public safety and emergency products to police, fire, EMS and public safety companies just like yours. While our GSA Schedule allows us to offer a large part of our product catalogue nationally, we also provide additional products and services, including installation support by certified technicians throughout the nation, and in any one of our locations.
$TLLE Teletouch Two-Way Radio Narrow Band Compliance
FCC UHF and VHF Narrowbanding Information
The purpose of the FCC narrowband mandate is to promote more efficient use of the VHF and UHF land mobile radio bands. Currently, these bands are so congested that often there is not enough spectrum available for licensees to expand their existing systems or implement new systems.
Requiring licensees to convert their radio systems to operate on narrower channel bandwidths will allow additional channels to exist within the same spectrum.
The FCC has mandated all Public Safety and Industrial/Business licensees using 25 kHz radio systems to migrate to narrowband 12.5 kHz channels or a technology that achieves equivalent efficiency by January 1, 2013.
