TaitNet AS-IP analog simulcast networks are IP-based analog systems that are specifically designed to provide conventional simulcast analog communications over wide geographic areas.
TaitNet AS-IP networks can be stand-alone, or added as an analog simulcast overlay to new or existing Tait P25 networks, for example for analog paging applications or legacy analog radio users.
Simulcast is useful because obtaining multiple receive and transmit frequencies in many locations can be difficult. Reusing the same receive and transmit frequencies over a large area is cost-effective and sometimes the only possible solution.
TaitNet AS-IP simulcast networks reduce possible points of failure and maintenance costs by having the voting system included in the base stations. This allows the network to automatically switch the master voter base station from one site to back-up sites in the same assigned channel group. The best signals are chosen by a digital voter and provided for retransmission.
These compact systems can be reconfigured into a number of cost-effective solutions and also used in analog or P25 operation. The TaitNet Simulcast Networks support stand-alone deployment, or integration into a larger non-simulcast networks.
