Abstract
A trunked wireless communication system (200) includes communication sites (220, 230, 240, 250), communication signal voters (214, 215), and a signal switch (216) intercoupled between the communication signal voters (214, 215) and the communication sites (220, 230, 240, 250). Each of the communication sites (220, 230, 240,250) has selective trunked access to a signal voter (214, 215), thus providing flexibility in the operation of the wireless communication system (200). In a particular operation mode, the wireless communication system (200) can selectively route signals between the voters (214, 215) and communication sites (220, 230, 240, 250) to promote efficient reuse of communication resources.
