Additional Performance Enhancement
The following is one of the latest creations designed to enhance the
security, quality and efficiency of your radio.
Dynamic System Resilience (DSR)
DSR ensures the radio system is seamlessly switched to a backup
master site dynamically in case of system failure. DSR also provides
additional indication e.g. failure detection, fault recovery, and
redundancy within the system to address to the user in need.
Mechanisms related to the Integrated Voice and Data (IV & D) or data
centric are all supported by DSR.
