Simulcast
Refers to the process of transmitting the same signal from multiple sites.
For public safety communications, this typically means multiple towers configured to transmit the exact same communications, on the exact same frequencies, at precisely the same time, from multiple towers, resulting in much better coverage of a wide area or area with dense population/buildings.
Simulcast is not analagous to multiple site wide area networked trunking systems that use different frequencies at each site, however simulcast "cells" (several sites operating as one in a simulcast configuration) can be implemented in such systems.
