SmartZone/AMSS Roaming Features 
 
SmartZone Operation
 
Radios that operate in a SmartZone system will enjoy
the benefits that SmartZone offers over AMSS opera-
tion. SmartZone is a wide-area coverage system that
will allow up to 50 sites to be operational in the sys-
tem. SmartZone brings several enhancements over
AMSS operation such as:
 
• Dynamic Site Assignment - Allows the zone con-
troller to dynamically assign channels at sites 
where required, as opposed to bringing up chan-
nels at all sites as AMSS systems do.
• Variable Density - Allows sites to have varying num-
bers of channel resources to accommodate low-
density areas as well as high density areas.
• Automatic Site Registration/Deregistration - Smart-
Zone radios automatically send in their unit IDs and 
current mode selections upon power up, power 
down, site switches, talk group changes and when 
they exit emergency operation. This allows the 
zone controller to know where the radio is at all 
times and also what talkgroup the radio has 
selected.
• Enhanced FailSoft Operation - If a site experiences 
a complete failure, it will revert to failsoft operation 
like today’s SMARTNET system. A SmartZone 
radio, however, can be programmed in the list of 
control modes. The radio will periodically scan the 
control mode to check for the presence of a valid 
control mode (in case the radio roamed into a site 
which is trunking.)
