SmartZone systems are Type II Smartnet systems that are networked together via Microwave or Land-line 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 following are the characteristics of a Motorola SmartZone system:

  • Up to 28 channels per site
  • Up to 65535 unique radio ids
  • Up to 48 Sites
  • Analog and/or Digital voice
  • APCO 16 Compliant

Monitoring a SmartZone system with a Trunktracker 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 talkgroup. Therefore, if you are monitoring talkgroup "POLICE-NORTH" on a site where no radios have that talkgroup affiliated, then you will not hear any communications on that talkgroup until a radio affiliates to that talkgroup.
