The digital standards and the manufacturers

In a previous blog post, we referenced the fact that digital standards are maturing.  So, while we were at IWCE, we started a spreadsheet to:

  • compare the digital standards
  • list which manufacturers are involved with which standards

Below is this spreadsheet.  You can learn a lot from it.  For example, there appear to be as many manufacturers focused on DMR (if you add in the Chinese manufacturers) as there are manufacturers focused on P25.  (This is pretty significant when you consider the marketshare of P25 in public safety agencies or the fact that EF Johnson and Midland only have P25 offerings.)
