Motorola Products > Project P25 Terminals & Infrastructure > GCM 8000 Comparator
GCM 8000 Comparator Provides a voice signal by combining the best signal received by multiple sites in a Multisite (simulcast) ASTRO 25 Network.
the highest quality audio performance in multi-site Project 25 (P25) voice and data systems with the GCM 8000 Comparator. The GCM 8000 Comparator continuously evaluates and selects the best digital audio packets to eliminate errors and ensure mission critical communications are clearly heard. The software upgradeable GCM 8000 Comparators can be easily configured to increase capacity without requiring new hardware.
