Hey everyone. I have been out of the radio world for a while and was just tasked with a job. Here is what's going on.
My company is growing. We have a building location, I'll call it "Site 1." We have been using UHF simplex for a long time there. Well, we are finally growing and adding two additional sites. Each about 70 miles in opposite directions from Site 1. I'm really familiar with adding repeaters and putting up tower's/leasing tower space etc but I'm hoping for an easier option (I.e. Cheaper).
I've been looking into the IP Site Connect stuff and have been pretty impressed (It was all JUST starting infancy when I left the radio shop). But my understanding of it is that it will not link Analog to Analog among the sites. Here is where we have a problem. We have radio's at each location that are not TDMA capable nor are we able to replace them. They are however P25 capable but if we could keep them Analog that would be best.
Okay, get to the point already....
Is there some sort of option like a Radio/IP interface, or another way to link the 3 sites together? Static IP's are not a problem, and it doesn't have to be Motorola, that's just what I'm most familiar with. The ability for signalling would be awesome too, but that's just a nice to have and not required.
Thanks,
