Digital Strategy Launch

General Digital Benefits ● Improved performance and extended range ● Clear, consistent audio quality ● Increased systems capability vs. analog  Text messaging  Enhanced call management ● Better spectrum efficiency ● Regulatory requirement

Digital Delivers Increased System Capabilities vs. Analog Clear Voice Quick Communications Enhanced Call Management Security Call Routing Dispatch and Control Location Range and quality Free form text. Canned messaging. Selective private call, group call, group management Inherently secure with encryption levels Dedicate specific slot as either voice or data IP-based dispatch. Embedded telemetry I/Os. GPS tracking, vehicle reporting, etc.

TDMA Digital Advantages ● Doubling of capacity in current spectrum ● High data rate for enhanced call features ● 40% increased radio battery life Effective transmit time cut in half with two-slot TDMA Overall battery consumption per call dramatically reduced ● 50% lower repeater costs vs other digital & analog ● Reduced combining equipment ● Global ETSI standard called DMR Developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) as a replacement for analog radio technology Globally available, open standard for greater flexibility

TDMA vs. FDMA: Compare the Benefits NoYes Open standard for more choices? CapabilityTDMAFDMA Achieve spectrum efficiency? YesNo Use existing licenses? YesNo Battery life improvement?
