Paul De Carte, Distribution Director of Vertex Standard LMR, Inc. in the EA commented: “eVerge radios are designed for customers currently using basic analogue radio communications who aim to convert to digital and could benefit from better audio quality, extended coverage, enhanced call management, longer battery life and more privacy without incurring higher equipment costs. The EVX-531 portable radios have been well-received by users since their launch. We are now excited to offer a complete line of eVerge™ portable and mobile radios that operate in both digital and analogue modes; and are now covered with 2 year factory warranty.”
The eVerge™ enhanced display radios operate in both digital and analogue modes on the TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) digital protocol, for optimum power and spectrum efficiency. TDMA is compliant with the DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) standard so eVerge digital radios are compatible with more than 74 percent of digital radios used worldwide.
The eVerge™ display radios provide users with expanded communications and privacy options not offered with basic analogue land mobile radios. Enhanced features include:
· Text messaging – both free-form and pre-formatted text messages can be sent and received enabling users more ways to ensure their message is received when voice communications is not practical.
· Enhanced call management capabilities – control who hears what is transmitted on a channel.
· Enhanced privacy – no extra encryption hardware is required when operating in digital mode.
· Option board expandability – the eVerge™ full-featured radios can support expanded applications developed by third-party providers for enhanced digital performance such as, location tracking with GPS, telemetry, man-down, etc. Vertex Standard will provide third-party developers with the necessary technical documentation to ensure compatibility with the new eVerge™ digital radio series.
· Auto-Range Transpond System II (ARTS II) – an exclusive capability offered by Vertex Standard, ARTS II enables users to monitor their connection status with other radios by the radio ID.
The eVerge™ series also includes the new EVX-R70 dynamic mixed mode repeater that supports both analogue and digital operation giving users expanded coverage and flexibility.
