eVerge digital radios are compatible with more than 74% of digital (DMR) radios used worldwide.

Vertex Standard continues its commitment to developing land mobile radios (LMR) that are precision-engineered for more value with the introduction of its new eVerge digital two-way radio series.

The new eVerge digital radio portfolio includes the EVX-530 series portable radios; EVX-5300/5400 series mobile radios and EVX-R70 repeater for a complete digital system. These new radios are designed to work with existing analogue radios for easy conversion from analogue to digital for added convenience.

eVerge radios are ideally suited for commercial and industrial customers who currently use basic 2-way radio for voice communications and could benefit from better audio quality, better coverage and more privacy without incurring higher equipment costs.

"We built the eVerge radio series to be highly compatible for customers who need greater flexibility and maximum value. The name eVerge is comprised of two principles: evolve to change and emerge to be known." explains Paul De Carte, EMEA distribution director for Vertex Standard LMR, Inc. "It is important that radio users understand that not all digital radios are the same, and not all brands of digital radios will talk to each other in digital mode. eVerge digital radios help customers evolve to better communication and do digital right the first time - getting the right radio with the right protocol and right performance - all at a better cost to connect without compromise."

eVerge radios support easy, efficient conversion from analogue to digital operating in both digital and analogue modes enabling users to migrate to digital at their own pace to best support their functional and financial needs.

They are also designed to help customers use the right digital protocol, TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access), for optimum power and spectrum efficiency. TDMA is compliant with the DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) Tier 2 standard so eVerge digital radios are compatible with more than 74% of digital radios used worldwide.
