TDMA provides the best method for achieving 6.25 kHz equivalent efficiency in licensed 12.

5 kHz channels:
TDMA is being leveraged in European and U.S. standards initiatives aimed at providing greater spectral efficiency for the land mobile radio market. Unlike FDMA methods of rebanding existing channels into discrete 6.25 kHz channels, properly designed two-slot TDMA systems fit cleanly into existing channel structures, with no rebanding or relicensing necessary. TDMA improves capacity today, while offering a path to compliance with further channel efficiency requirements that is being mandated by the FCC 2013 deadline. It increases capacity without the need for additional repeaters and other infrastructure, TDMA can lower the overall costs of implementing digital two-way radio. TDMA offers the performance and flexibility to support the functional requirements of mobile professionals in virtually any industry.

With benefits including increased capacity, lower equipment costs, data integration, added features, and more, now is a compelling time for analog radio users to make the switch to digital systems that offer 6.25 kHz equivalency. Two-slot 12.5 kHz TDMA-based systems, providing 6.25 kHz equivalency is the right choice for most mobile professionals. Professional radio standards based on TDMA technology are already widely used around the world, and future requirements for even greater spectral efficiency are almost certain to be based on TDMA as well. Today and tomorrow, TDMA technology provides advantages of feature flexibility, lower equipment costs, longer battery life, future-readiness, and the proven ability to increase spectral efficiency without risking increased congestion or radio channel interference.
