Telephone interconnects offer the most economical and reliable method of allowing a group of 2-way mobile radio users to place and receive telephone calls through the public telephone network or a private branch exchange (PBX). In business applications, office based personnel can speak directly to radio users such as security guards, warehouse staff and delivery drivers. Similarly, radio users can call their office, the emergency services or their customers. Calling privileges, conversation timers and system access are all under the control of the system operator, so capabilities can be tailored to individual requirements.
The Model 735 allows telephone calls to be routed to an individual mobile or a group of mobiles. The telephone caller selects the mobile to speak with.
