All the digital voice and internet-linking systems, and which to start with.

Fusion’s practical advantage is that its repeaters usually accept analogue FM as well, so a digital repeater does not lock out everyone with an older radio.

Wires-X links repeaters into rooms, comparable to DMR talkgroups or D-STAR reflectors.
