Module description
The TW-230 combines the high data rate capability of TrellisWare's Tactical Scalable MANET-Enhanced (TSM-E) waveform with narrowband VHF/UHF AM/FM voice. TW-230 provides a robust highly scalable self-forming, self-healing wideband networked waveform transparent to the operator. The TW-230 supports multi-channel push to talk (PTT) voice, IP data, position location information (PLI) tracking, and remote operation of live streaming video. The TW-230 can also be operated in plaintext narrowband voice modes that allow it to interoperate with most other standard AM/FM PTT radios.
