Analog Radio Technology
Analog has been the incumbent two-way radio technology since it was first used for commercial purposes in 1933. Over time many advances have been made and today’s radios are vastly different from their predecessors. In addition to obvious size, weight and performance improvements many advanced voice features have been added.
It is undeniable that digital technology has surpassed analog in terms of audio consistency, battery life and advanced voice functionality. National Wireless offers a range of high-quality analog only two-way radio products from Vertex Standard and GME.
That doesn’t mean that analog radios are no longer a viable option – they continue to offer a simple, reliable, robust and affordable option to our customers, generally at a lower cost…
Some niche applications are still best served with analog. This would include situations where digital latency is noticeable, such as when radios are clustered together or when delays are critical. Some users with large networks are currently evaluating the various digital technologies to decide on the best to suit their needs, it is important for their adopted technologies to see wide market acceptance…
