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.)
