SmartZone systems are Type II Smartnet systems that are networked together via microwave or land-line data circuits to provide multi-site wide-area communications. Radios affiliate with a particular site and affiliate with a talkgroup which allows the radio to talk on that talkgroup to other radios on other sites. Many large public safety and state agencies use SmartZone system for wide-area communications.
The characteristics of a Motorola SmartZone system are similar to Smartnet systems with the following changes:
- Up to 28 channels per site
- Up to 48 sites
- Analog and/or digital voice
Monitoring a SmartZone system with a trunktracking scanner is the same process as monitoring any other Type II Smartnet system, except that you can only monitor one site at a time. For you to monitor a specific talkgroup on a SmartZone site, someone's radio must be affiliated to that specific site. Therefore, if you are monitoring talkgroup "POLICE-NORTH" on a site with no affiliated radios on that talkgroup, then you will not hear any communications on that talkgroup on that site.
