A new version of Simoco two-way radios has been released. Designed to meet the needs of global enterprise users, Xmode provides multiple analogue and digital operating modes from a single radio platform.

Simoco Xmode terminals, SRP9100 portable and SRM9000 mobile, support P25 trunked and conventional operating modes in addition to the existing PMR and MPT1327 operating modes. AES and DES secure digital encryption, GPS tracking and mobile data are also supported in both trunked and conventional digital modes. Field performance is further enhanced by an intelligent voting algorithm, which ensures optimum receiver performance in low signal areas.

The Xmode is a cost-effective terminal for users, who are considering a move to P25 in the future as the various operating modes can be added on step by step without replacing the terminals. This flexibility has been put to great use by Public Safety organizations in Australia and overseas who need to temporarily extend the footprint of their existing wide-area radio networks to a local-area system stemming from their vehicle.
