Hi all,
I'm curious to know how police mobile data terminals generally work. From what I've gleened in the RRDB, MDTs are assigned a dedicated frequency, but if every MDT in a fleet is sharing the same channel, how do they not step on each other? Presuming that MDTs are "connected" all the time, how can more than one MDT be online at once? And even if MDTs were to "login" each time the officer ran a plate, how does the system prevent multiple MDTs from transmitting on the dedicated channel at the same time?
Just curious.
