Software Version OTP 5.07
Optional GPS Tracking
GPS tracking devices embedded in optionally-equipped
M-803 radios quickly and accurately locate users on a
visual display screen for dispatchers, virtually
eliminating the need for users to report their position.
With an overview of the locations of all vehicles,
dispatchers have the information they need to assign
the nearest vehicle to a developing emergency.
By eliminating the background chatter of constant
location reporting, OpenSky frees up system resources
for more critical communications, especially at peak
traffic times.
Software-Configured Device
Your M-803 is a “soft” radio. Its functions are deter-
mined by OpenSky software applications, in much the
same way computer hardware is configured for
different applications.
Unlike older analog radios you may have used, with
their hardware-based proprietary functions, your
M-803 converts voice waves into digital information
before it transmits to the network, providing noise-free
audio transmission and reception.
Make any radio in the
system “your radio” by
logging on with your
identity code.
What’s more, because each user in the network has a
unique identity code, you can activate your identity
from any radio connected to the network. Any radio
from your agency’s hardware stockpile can become
“your” radio and log on with your profile.
Multi-Mode Functionality
Finally, if you need to be multi-mode, your M-803
supports several (even several applications simulta-
neously) providing capability with the needs of
different user groups.
You can operate under the OpenSky digital protocol or
use the same device to access Conventional FM with
CTCSS analog FM or APCO Project 25 Phase 1
operations, depending on the user configuration of your
network or agency.
GPS tracking uses a
small fraction of
system resources,
but eliminates verbal
location reporting for
huge overall
capability gains.
