The ultimate on-site communicator, the Motorola DTR650! We provide radios for some of the top corporations in America. American Bridge, CITGO, Ethan Allen, Georgia Pacific, and Trane to name just a few. Some are local, many are nationwide. So why did they choose the little company down in Alabama? It couldn't have been price alone. There is always someone selling a little cheaper. So what is it? The answer from each is the same - we stay on top of technology in order the help those we serve do what they do a little better! That's why they do business with us! We go into more detail on this subject in the About Us and Background sections of this web page (see above), but that's not the subject for now. Our topic is the Motorola DTR650 and why we think it is a great choice for a variety of on-site applications.
So, what's so different about the DTR650? Mainly, it is a digital radio rather than analog. Other digital radios are in the thousand dollar price range. The DTR650 is in the four hundred dollar price range! The current trend in communications is to digital. That's not a theory - it's a fact. Currently, there are four basic digital technologies. It is not important at this point to get into detail except to say that DTR technology is about half the cost of other digital offerings. If you want more detailed information on the other types of digital radios, please visit www.falcondirect.com/digital.
So what makes those other technologies cost so much more? The answer is that they are all designed to allow existing VHF and UHF 2-way radio users to migrate from analog technology to digital. Further, many existing users have a need for base station, mobile, and repeater equipment. The DTR650 was not designed to address these requirements. The DTR650 was designed from the ground up to be a PORTABLE radio. The DTR650 is specifically for on-site use by contractors, churches, hospitals, schools, manufacturing plants, etc. who need only reliable, cost effective PERSONAL communications within a specified working area.
By focusing on serving the needs of specific users, Motorola was able to cut the cost of digital technology in half and to eliminate the need for an FCC license by utilizing the 900 MHz ISM band. If you are planning a new system or replacing an old system, the DTR650 is an excellent choice offering light weight (about half the weight of other handheld radios), superior operating range, digital audio clarity, selectable alert capability (audible or vibrate as you choose) and that's only for starters!
Since the DTR650 is a digital radio, it cannot be monitored by scanners, and when desired, not even by non-selected users on your own system! Digital radios have the ability to communicate to all users on the system simultaneously (known as a DISPATCH call), to a work group (Administration, Maintenance, Security, etc.) or between two individuals, all in complete privacy. This is a HUGE benefit! Here's another...
The DTR650 is capable of sending and receiving text messages. So what does that mean to you? Here's an example! Let's say you have to go into a meeting but you still want to be available to your co-workers. With the DTR650, you simply switch to the silent (vibrate) alert mode. You can set up a message to tell callers when you will again be available or you can receive (and send) text messages without disturbing others.
Do these features sound familiar? If you have ever used a Sprint/Nextel or SouthernLINC, you have already used a digital radio with similar features. The only difference with the DTR650 is that it doesn't have phone capability and it is for use on a specific site rather than extended area coverage. On the other hand, there are NO MONTHLY AIRTIME CHARGES! Better yet, when you get our DTR650 pricing, you'll know why it is rapidly becoming the radio of choice for on-site applications.
