eVerge™ two-way communication radios operate in both analog and digital modes. They can also be used with any existing analog two-way radios.
eVerge™ digital radios that operate with the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) protocol are compatible with more than 74% of the digital radios deployed worldwide. Thanks to greater spectrum and power efficiency, eVerge™ TDMA digital radio systems can now support twice as many talking groups and calls without more licensing costs, thus lowering total equipment costs, as compared with those operating with FDMA protocol.
Digital two-way radios eliminate noise and static from voice transmission to deliver only the intended voice message crisply and clearly. For enhanced voice quality, eVerge™ digital radios come with the AMBE+2™ vocoder.
Control whom you call and who gets your message in digital mode. eVerge™ two-way radios come with unique IDs to enable users to select the recipients of the call or message.
Get ultra-clear audio right up to the edge of the transmit range. And, with Vertex Standard’s exclusive Auto-Range Transpond System (ARTS II™), you will always know if you are in or out of range with another ARTS II™-equipped radio.
With just a push of a button on this Vertex Standard mobile radio, an emergency notification to alert for help will be sent to a designated channel. The two-way communication radio will automatically switch and monitor the designated emergency channel. This portable handheld radio also includes Remote Listen, a feature that turns this best digital radio on remotely when necessary to monitor what is happening in the vicinity.
The EVX-5400 series is designed for future feature expansion and the support of third-party application developments, such as location tracking with GPS and rolling code encryption.
