Trunking in Radio Communication is a technique that makes communication a lot easier and much more efficient. In traditional radio communication systems, different users have been operating on seperate radio frequencies/channels. Often the number of users using a system exceeds the number of channels that is provided. As a result users have to share the same single channel.

With trunking the system smartly controls and guides the users toward a free channel. The user does not have to worry if a channel is free or not. The principal benefit of trunking is that it permits a large number of users to share a small number of paths - or trunks.

How it works

A computer manages this sharing of communication paths automatically. The central controller, a computerised switch, makes channel selections and other decisions normally made by the radio user. Channel assignment is automatic and completely transparent to individual users.
