Trunking
A trunked radio system is a computer-controlled radio system the primary purpose of which is efficiency. Trunked systems use a few channels (the actual frequencies), and can have virtually unlimited talkgroups. The control channel computer sends packets of data to enable one talkgroup to talk together, regardless of frequency.
There several different types of trunked systems in New Zealand available for commercial use.
